JOYS AND DOLORS OF SAINT JOSEPH
Day Three
Prayer
O Great
Joseph, a man according to God's own heart! by the grief thou didst feel at the
circumcision of the tender infant Jesus, shedding his most precious blood, and
by the joy thou hadst in giving him the most sweet name of Jesus, according to
the revelation which the angel had made to thee; pray for us to thy blessed
Son, that we may be washed and purified with his most precious blood, and
always bear his name imprinted in our hearts. 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.
