Prayer to St. Joseph
Intercessional Prayers
O most watchful Guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ.
O most loving father, ward off from us every contagion of error and corrupting influence.
O our most mighty protector, be kind to us and from heaven assist us in our struggle with the power of darkness.
As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, so now protect God's Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity.
Shield, too, each one of us by your constant protection, so that, supported by your example and your aid, we may be able to live piously, to die in holiness, and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven.
Guard us, O holy Guardian and Foster Father, for we place all our trust in you. Guide us in our daily work, protect our homes and families, and lead us safely on our journey to heaven.
Amen.
