“Glorious and good St. Joseph,
You experienced many tribulations in finding a home for Mary and Jesus.
Remember how much you worried about them, of your undertakings and closed doors that you encountered when you accompanied the Infant Jesus on the way to being censured and then your exile and finally the return to your country.
During times of hardship, you made sure that their material comfort always reflected your love and concern, your faithful presence and protection towards Mary and Jesus.
Watch over my actions in finding a home, that they proceed smoothly and in clarity, and especially watch over my dealings with the owners and the lease terms.
May this new home be welcoming, peaceful, have good neighbors and relations between everyone.
May all those that come to my home (our home) feel welcomed by your presence. Fill this home with the love of Jesus and Mary. Amen.”
