O Glorious St. Joseph, chosen by God to be the foster father of Jesus, spouse of the mother of God and head of the Holy Family, with full confidence I implore at this moment your powerful intercession for each member of our parish family which is entrusted to your watchful care.

   O most loving guardian of the Holy Family, defend all our children and keep far from us every error and sinful influence. O most mighty protector, be gracious to us and from Heaven assist us in our daily struggles and moments of temptation.

   And as you once rescued the child Jesus from danger, so now protect us from the power of Satan and from all harm.

   O, most compassionate St. Joseph, obtain for us the grace to live devoutly and to die rejoicing with the Holy Name of Jesus in our hearts and on our lips. Amen.
