Prayer to Saint Joseph guardian of the Holy Family.

Why pray San Giuseppe? St. Joseph was the provident guardian of the Holy Family. We can entrust all our families to him, with the greatest certainty of being satisfied in all our needs. He is the just and faithful man whom God has placed as the guardian of his house, as the guide and support of Jesus and Mary: all the more will he protect our families, if we entrust them to him and invoke him from the heart.

Praying to St. Joseph: any grace one asks St. Joseph will certainly be granted, whoever wants to believe should make the test so that he is persuaded ”, said St. Teresa of Avila. I took the glorious Saint Joseph as my advocate and patron and commended myself to him with fervor. This father and protector of mine helped me in the needs in which I found myself and in many other more serious ones, in which my honor and the health of the soul were at stake. I saw that his help was always greater than I could have hoped for.

Any grace asked of St. Joseph will certainly be granted

Difficult to doubt it, if we think that among all the saints the humble carpenter of Nazareth is the one closest to Jesus and Mary: he was on earth, even more so in heaven. Because he was the father of Jesus, albeit an adoptive one, and of Mary he was the husband. The graces that are obtained from God by resorting to are truly numberless St. Joseph. Universal patron of the Church at the behest of Pope Pius IX, is also known as the patron of workers as well as of the dying and of the souls in purgatory, but his patronage extends to all needs, helps all requests. He is certainly the worthy and powerful protector of every Christian family, as he was of the Holy Family.

We pray every day thus entrusting ourselves to Saint Joseph: Into your hands, O Joseph, I abandon my poor hands; to your fingers I intertwine, praying, my fragile fingers. You, who nourished the Lord with daily work, give bread to every table and the peace that is worth a treasure. You, the heavenly protector of yesterday, today and tomorrow, launch a bridge of love that unites distant brothers. And when, obedient to the invitation, I return my hand to you, welcome my contrite heart and bring it to God slowly. Then although my hands are empty, tired and heavy, looking at them you will say: "So are the hands of the saints!"
