O great and good Saint Joseph, chaste spouse of the Immaculate Mary, and guardian of the Word incarnate, we place ourselves with confidence under your protection and beg of you to teach us to practice the virtue of the Child Jesus.

We thank God for the singular favour He has pleased to bestow upon you and we earnestly desire to become pure and humble and patient like you.

Pray, then, for us, St. Joseph and through that love which you have for Jesus and Mary, and which they have for you, obtain for us the invaluable blessing of living and dying in the love of Jesus, Mary and You. Amen.
