O Lord God,
You who chose Saint Joseph, the chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary, to care for Your divine Son, Jesus Christ, and to protect His Mother,
we ask You today, with complete trust, to hear our prayer and to make Saint Joseph our protector throughout this life.
Through his intercession, may we obtain grace and blessing for our families and for the whole world.
May we serve Your Church faithfully and carry out our mission wherever You send us.
May we grow ever more deeply in love for the Lord Jesus and for His Mother, the Virgin Mary, and may we work for our own salvation and for the salvation of others until the end of our lives.
Amen.
