Event Description

Dear St. Joseph, Glorious Patriarch and Patron of the Universal Church!  O Virgin Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Guardian and Foster Father of the Incarnate Word!  In the presence of Jesus and Mary, I choose thee this day to be my guardian and father.

 

O St. Joseph, thou whom God has constituted the Head of the Holy Family, accept me, I beseech thee, though utterly unworthy, to be a poor little servant in thy holy house.  Present me to thy Immaculate Spouse, ask her to accept me as a poor servant and to adopt me as a child.  With her, teach me, thou who art a master of the interior life, how to converse constantly with Jesus and how to serve him faithfully in all things to the end of my life.

 

To thy custody was committed the Living Bread from Heaven, to be dispensed to thy starving brethren.  With Mary, help me to prepare the poor stable of my heart to receive, worthily and often, the Bread of my salvation. 

 

Let me receive it from thy hands and from those of Mary, as often as I approach the Holy Table.

 

O tender and watchful Father, I hereby consecrate myself to thee; and I firmly purpose and resolve never to leave thee, and never to say or do anything, nor suffer anyone under my charge to say or do anything, against thy honor!  O St. Joseph, thou head of the house of God upon earth, in faithful imitation of Jesus and Mary, I place myself and all my concerns under thy care and protection.  To thee, after Jesus and Mary, I consecrate my body and soul with all their faculties, my spiritual progress, my home and all my affairs and undertakings.  Forsake me not, but adopt me as a servant and child of the Holy Family.  Watch over me at all times, but especially in the last awful hour of my life on earth:  then visit, console and strengthen me, with Jesus and Mary, that with them and thee I may sing the praises of the adorable Trinity for all eternity. 

 

+Amen

Of course, on re-reading this prayer, it really is a good one to say often!  Esp. now in these most uncertain and disconcerting times.  If anyone would know what to do in dangerous times and situations, it would be St. Joseph.  He didn't say anything at all in Holy Scriptures, he just promptly did what God told him to do.  May he intercede for all of us.

I thought this would be a fitting conclusion to the Novena we are making to St. Joseph.  :-)  Even if you can't do the Novena, please consider saying this prayer on his feast day.
