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 Thanskgiving 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.
