NOVENA TO
SAINT JOSEPH
=====================================================================================
FEAST DAY: 19 MARCH
PATRON OF THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH
REMEMBER, O most pure spouse of Mary, ever Virgin, my loving protector,
Saint Joseph, that no one ever had recourse to your protection or asked
for your aid without obtaining relief. Confident, therefore, in your
goodness, I come before you and humbly implore you. Despise not my
petitions, foster-father of the Redeemer, but graciously receive them.
Amen.
FEAST DAY: 01 MAY
ST. JOSEPH, PATRON OF WORKERS
Glorious Saint Joseph, you are the patron of all who work. Obtain
for me, please, the grace to work conscientiously and to put devotion
to duty before my selfish inclinations. Help me to labor in thankfulness
and joy, for it is an honor to employ and to develop by my labor the gifts
I have received from Almighty God. Grant that I may work in orderliness,
peace, moderation and patience without shrinking from weariness and
difficulties. I offer my fatigue and perplexities as reparation for sin.
I shall work, above all, with a pure intention and with detachment from
self, having always before my eyes the hour of death and the accounting
which I must then render of time ill-spent, of talents unemployed, of
good undone, and of empty pride in success, which is so fatal to the
work of God. For Jesus through Mary, all in imitation of you, good
Saint Joseph. This shall be my motto in life and in death. Amen.
