O Lord God…
You who chose Saint Joseph, the chaste spouse, to raise
Your divine Word, Jesus Christ, and to protect His Mother, the Virgin Mary,
we ask You today, with complete trust,
to hear this prayer of ours
and to make Saint Joseph our protector in this life.
Through his intercession may we obtain grace and blessing for our families and for the whole world;
may we work faithfully for our Church
and carry our mission everywhere;
may we grow in love for the Lord Jesus and His Mother, the Virgin Mary,
and work for our own salvation and that of others until the end of our lives.
Amen.
