Novena to St. Joseph
O GLORIOUS St. Joseph, faithful follower of Jesus Christ, to you do we raise our hearts and hands, to implore your powerful intercession in obtaining from the benign Heart of Jesus all the helps and graces necessary for our spiritual and temporal welfare, particularly the grace of a happy death, and the special favor we now implore. (Mention your petition. Then say the following seven times in honor of the seven sorrows and joys of St. Joseph.)
O Glorious St. Joseph, through the love that you bore to Jesus Christ, and for the glory of His Holy Name, deign to hear our prayers and obtain for us our petitions. O Jesus, Mary and Joseph, come to our assistance. Amen.
“I do not remember even now that I have ever asked anything of him [St. Joseph] which he has failed to grant . . . To other saints the Lord seems to have given grace to succour us in some of our necessities, but of this glorious saint my experience is that he succours us in them all . . .”
