Pristine spouse of the mother of God
Powerful protector of the Holy Church
I place myself before you and humbly ask for your special protection.
You ignored worldly pleasures and looked only to the glory of God and the wellbeing of those around you.
Saint Joseph, you have already helped so many others, I place my confidence in you.
The light of God shows you what is missing from my life, you see my worries, my difficulties, my sorrows.
I pray to your paternal thoughtfulness to help me find employment
I place this request in your hands, the same hands that saved the Child Jesus
Help me to live in God's presence, to know and love Jesus Christ, to worship His holy mother the Virgin Mary and when all is done, to join you in adoration of God for eternity
Amen.”
