O glorious St. Joseph, chosen by God to be the foster father of Jesus, the chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary,
and the head of the Holy Family.

I come to you with humble and trusting heart.

You who knew what it meant to labor with your hands, to provide in times of uncertainty, to protect what was most precious and sacred, hear my prayer today.

I bring before you my need:
(moment of silent personal intention)

You who never refused anything to those who came to you with faith, intercede for me before the throne of God.

Obtain for me from Jesus, your Son, the grace I need in this moment.

St. Joseph, I trust in your powerful intercession.

Just as you sheltered the Christ Child from danger, shelter me now under your fatherly protection.
Just as you provided for the Holy Family in Egypt, provide for me in my time of need.

I place this intention entirely in your hands.

O St. Joseph, patron of the universal Church, patron of workers, guardian of families, terror of demons, pray for me, and for all who seek your help today.

May your intercession bring me closer not to comfort alone, but to the will of God.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. Joseph, after Jesus and Mary, you are my greatest hope.
Do not abandon me.
Amen.
