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 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 departing souls,
pray for us. Amen.
