In our tribulation we fly to you O Blessed Joseph; and after imploring the help of your most holy Spouse, we ask also with confidence for your patronage. By the affection which united you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and the fatherly love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we beseech you to look kindly upon the inheritance which Jesus Christ acquired by this precious blood, and by your powerful aid to help us in our needs. Protect, most careful guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen people of Jesus Christ. Keep us, most loving father, from all pastilence of error and corruption. Be merciful to us, most powerful protector, from your place in heaven, in this warfare with the powers of darkness; and as you snatched the Child Jesus from the danger of death, so now defend the Holy Church of God from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity. Guard each of us by your perpetual patronage, so that, sustained by your example and help, we may live in holiness, die a holy death and obtain the everlasting happiness of heaven. Amen.
