Ave Maria Meditations
Oh glorious Saint Joseph, faithful follower of Jesus Christ, to you do we raise our hearts and hands to employ your powerful intercession in obtaining from the benevolent Heart of Jesus all the helps and graces necessary for our spiritual and temporal welfare, particularly the grace of a happy death, and a special favor we now implore for the protection of God’s precious unborn children.
Oh Guardian of the Word Incarnate, we feel animated with confidence that your prayers on our behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God. Oh glorious Saint Joseph, through the love you bear to Jesus, and for the glory of His Name…Hear our prayers and obtain our petitions.
Let us pray: O glorious Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Immaculate Virgin, obtain for us a pure, humble, and charitable mind, and perfect resignation to the divine Will. Be our guide, father, and model through life that we may merit to die as you did, in the arms of Jesus and Mary. Help us, Saint Joseph, in our earthly strife, ever to lead a pure and blameless life. Amen.
