To you or blessed Joseph

To you or blessed Joseph, gripped by tribulation, we resort and confidently invoke your patronage after that of your most holy Bride. Deh! For the sacred bond of charity that held you close to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and for the paternal love that you brought to the Child Jesus, it concerns, we pray to you, with a benign eye the dear inheritance that Jesus Christ acquired with His Blood and with your power and help help our needs. Protect, or provident guardian of the divine Family, the chosen offspring of Jesus Christ, remove from us, O beloved Father, this plague of errors and vices that will make the world soull; assist us propitiously from heaven in this struggle with the power of darkness, O our very strong protector; and as you once saved from death the threatened life of the baby Jesus, so now defend the holy Church of God from hostile snares and from all adversity; spread your patronage over each one of us so that in your example and your help we can virtuously live, piously die and attain eternal bliss in heaven. So be it.
