THE PATRONAGE OF ST. JOSEPH
JOYS AND DOLORS OF SAINT JOSEPH
Day Seven
Prayer
O Merciful Joseph! who is able to conceive the sensible sorrow and extreme
grief thou sufferedst when thou hadst lost the child Jesus; and on the other
side, who is able to express the joy and extreme satisfaction wherewith thy
heart was replenished when thou didst find him in the midst of the doctors! we
humbly beseech thee, by this inconceivable sadness and joy, that we may never
lose our most amiable Jesus; or if ever we be so unhappy as to lose him, make
us feel such a true and lively sorrow with thee, that we may so carefully seek
him as soon to find him, with so great and sensible a comfort, that our only
care for the future may be always to keep him and never to lose him any more.
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.
