St. Joseph, You are the chaste and loving spouse of the Virgin Mary, the foster father of Jesus, and the protector and provider of the Holy Family and of all families. We have complete confidence in your loving care for new life and your fidelity to the family. We commend our efforts to your prayers and protection. Help us always to defend the gift of human life that it may grow to the abundance of eternal life promised and bestowed on us by your foster son, our God and our brother, Jesus Christ.
Amen
St. Joseph, defend the the Holy Church of God as once you defended the Holy Family
Protect the institution of Marriage
and
Intercede for me, my family and friends at the hour of our death
Amen.
