O great and good St. Joseph, chaste spouse of the Immaculate Mary, and guardian of the Word Incarnate, we place ourselves with confidence under your protection, and beg of you to teach us to practice the virtues of the Child Jesus. We thank God for the singular favors He was pleased to bestow upon you, and we earnestly desire to become pure, and humble, and patient, like you. Pray, then, for us, St. Joseph, and through that love which you have for Jesus and Mary, and which they have for you, obtain for us the invaluable blessing of living and dying in the love of Jesus, Mary, and you. Amen.
Holy Joseph, patron of a happy death, pray for us.
