Day One
Prayer
Chaste Spouse of the most Immaculate
Mother of Jesus! holy Joseph! how great was thy grief when, ignorant of the
mystery and co-operation of the Holy Ghost in that sublime mystery, thou
perceivest the pregnancy of thy beloved Spouse, and on that account had
thoughts of leaving her. By this thy grief, and by the unspeakable joy thou
hadst when the Angel of God opened to thee the mystery of the Incarnation of
the Eternal Word, pray for us, that endeavouring to advance thy honour and
worship through the whole world, we may, by God's holy grace, overcome all
affliction and dejection of mind in this life, and in the other become a fit
mansion of the Holy Ghost for all eternity. Amen.
Our Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy
Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day
our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who
trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; Blessed art
thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary,
Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of death. Amen.
Novena Prayer
O Glorious St. Joseph, faithful follower
of Jesus Christ, to you do we raise our hearts and hands to implore your
powerful intercession, obtaining from the benign Heart of Jesus all the helps
and graces necessary for our spiritual and temporal welfare; particularly the
grace of a happy death, and the special favour we now implore...
[Here mention your request]
O guardian of the Word Incarnate, we
feel animated with confidence that your prayers in our behalf will be
graciously heard before the throne of God.
