CROWN IN SAN GIUSEPPE

I. In the distresses of this valley of tears, to whom shall we miserable resort, if not to you, O lovable St. Joseph, to whom your beloved Bride Mary gave all her rich treasures, why did you keep them to our advantage? - Go to my Spouse Joseph, as Mary tells us, and He will console you and, relieving you from the evil that oppresses you, will make you happy and content. - Have mercy therefore, Joseph, have mercy on us for how much love you have towards such a worthy and lovable Bride.

Pater, Ave and Gloria.

St. Joseph, putative Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ and true Spouse of the Virgin Mary, pray for us.

II. We know that we have certainly irritated divine justice with our sins and deserve the most severe punishment. Now what will our refuge be? In which port will we be able to escape? - Go to Joseph, as Jesus tells us, go to Joseph, who was received and kept by Me in place of the Father. I have communicated all power to him as to father, so that he may use his talent for your sake. - Have mercy therefore, Joseph, have mercy on us, however much love you brought to such a respectable and dear Son.

Pater, Ave and Gloria.

St. Joseph, putative Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ and true Spouse of the Virgin Mary, pray for us.

III. Unfortunately, the faults committed by us, we confess, cause the heaviest scourges on our clothes. But in which ark will we shelter ourselves to save ourselves? What will be the beneficial iris that will comfort us in so much trouble? - Go to Joseph, it seems that the Eternal Father tells us, that my place on earth supported my human Son. I entrusted to him my Son, perennial source of grace; therefore every grace is in his hand. - Have mercy therefore, Joseph, have mercy on us for how much love you showed to the great God, so generous to you.

Pater, Ave and Gloria.

St. Joseph, putative Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ and true Spouse of the Virgin Mary, pray for us.
