Prayer to St. Joseph
O St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in You all my interests and desires.

So that having engaged here below Your Heavenly Power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the Most Loving of Fathers. O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating You and Jesus asleep in Your arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near Your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen.
