A Prayer to St. Joseph

With the Corona Virus taking hold of the world right now, we ask St. Joseph to guide us through these perilous times.

Here is a Prayer to St. Joseph to honour Him and to ask him for his heavenly protection over us.

With the Apostolic Letter “Patris corde” (“With a Father’s Heart”), Pope Francis recalls the 150th anniversary of the declaration of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. To mark the occasion, the Holy Father has proclaimed a “Year of Saint Joseph” from the 8th of December 2020, to 8 December 2021.

O Blessed St. Joseph,
Faithful guardian and protector of virgins
To whom God entrusted Jesus and Mary,
I implore you by the love which you did bear them,
To preserve me from every defilement of soul and body,
That I may always serve them in holiness and purity of love.

Amen.
