Prayer
to St. Joseph
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 most loving of Fathers. O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you
and Jesus asleep I your arms.
I dare not
approach while He reposes near your heart.
Press Him in my name and kiss His find head for me, and ask Him to
return the kiss when I draw my dying breath.
St. Joseph, patron of dying souls, pray for me. Amen.
Imprimatur: Most Rev. George W. Ahr, Bishopof Trenton

| St. Joseph pray for us! |
This prayer was said to be founded in the fiftieth year of
Our Lord Jesus Christ.
In the 1500s it
was sent by a Pope to Emperor Charles when he was going into battle.
According to oral tradition, whoever reads this prayer or
hears it or carries it, will never die a sudden death, nor be drowned, nor will
poison take effect on them. They will not fall into the hands of the enemy nor
be burned in any fire, nor will they be defeated in battle.
