Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great
so strong, so prompt before the throne of God.
I place in you all my interest and desires.
Oh, 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 Most Loving
Of Fathers. Oh St. Joseph, I never weary
contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your
arms;I dare not approach 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 the dying – pray for me
