Novena prayer

Glorious Saint Joseph of Saint Francis de Sales

Glorious St. Joseph, Spouse of Mary, grant us, we beseech thee, thy paternal protection, we beseech thee by the Heart of Jesus Christ. O thou, whose power extends to all of our needs, and can render possible for us the most impossible things, look with favor upon the concerns of thy children with fatherly countenance. In the troubles and distress which afflict us, we confidently have recourse to thee. Deign to take under thy charitable charge this important and difficult matter, cause of our worries, may its happy outcome be for God's glory and for the good of His devoted servants. Amen.
