Remember,
O most pure spouse of Mary,
and my dearly beloved guardian,
Saint Joseph,
that never was it known,
that anyone who invoked your care
and requested your help was left
without consolation.
Inspired with this confidence,
I come to you,
and with all the ardor of my spirit
I commend myself to you.
Do not reject my prayer,
O Foster Father of the Savior,
but graciously receive and answer it.
Amen.

O
St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt
before the Throne of God, I place in you all my interests and
desires.
O
St. Joseph do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain
for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus
Christ, Our Lord; so that having engaged here below your Heavenly
power I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the Loving of
Fathers.
O
St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you and Jesus asleep in
your arms. I dare not approach you while He reposes near
your heart. Press him in my name and kiss His fine Head for
me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath.
St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for us.
Amen.
Say this over 1900 year old
prayer for nine consecutive mornings for anything you may
desire. It has seldom been known to fail.
Prayer
to St. Joseph / Oratio ad Sanctum Iosephum
To
thee, O Blessed Joseph, we have recourse in our tribulations, and
while imploring the aid of thy most holy Spouse, we confidently
invoke thy patronage also. By that love which united thee to the
Immaculate Virgin, Mother of God, and by the fatherly affection
with which thou didst embrace the Infant Jesus, we humbly beseech
thee graciously to regard the inheritance which Jesus Christ
purchased with His Blood and to help us in our necessities, by thy
powerful intercession.
Protect, O most provident Guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen
children of Jesus Christ; ward off from us, O most loving Father,
all taint of error and corruption; graciously assist us from
Heaven, O most power protector, in our struggle with the powers of
darkness; and as thou didst once rescue the Child Jesus from
imminent peril to His life, so now defend the Holy Church of God
from the snares of her enemies and from all adversity.
Shield each one of us with thy unceasing patronage that, imitating
thy example and sported by thy aid, we may be enabled to live a
good life, die a holy death, and secure everlasting happiness in
Heaven.
Amen.
