Prayer To St. Joseph (in the fiftieth year of our Lord)

[Your_Brother]

Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interest and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Oh, 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 heart for me and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me.

This prayer was found in the fiftieth year of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In 1505 it was sent from the pope to Emperor Charles when he was going into battle. Whoever shall read this prayer or hear it or keep it about themselves, shall never die a sudden death, or be drowned, nor shall poison take effect on them; neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy, or shall they be burned in any fire or shall be overpowered in battle.

Say for nine mornings for anything you may desire. It has never been known to fail, so be sure you really want what you ask.=============================================================================================
This is an exact reprint of a small flyer I had saved that was distributed a few years ago at a Catholic Mass. I am curious what is thought about what is said that whoever reads it shall never die in the hands of the enemy ect… and if this in fact a valid way for Catholics to pray? I sincerely hope nobody takes offense to me posting this reprint, but am real curious.

I sort of have a hard time picturing Jesus in Heaven asleep in Joseph’s arms. You know what I mean?

Your Brother:

Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine heart for me and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. .

In Revelation 19:11-13 Jesus appears as a mighty strong leader as opposed to a little baby in Joseph’s arms in Heaven. “And I saw the heaven opened, and, look! a white horse. And the one seated upon it is called Faithful and True, and he judges and carries on war in righteousness. His eyes are a fiery flame, and upon his head are many diadems. He has a name written that no one knows but he himself, and he is arrayed with an outer garment sprinkled with blood, and the name he is called is The Word of God”.
