Prayer to Saint Joseph to find work and for an urgent need
O St. Joseph, my protector and lawyer, I appeal to you, so that I may implore the grace, for which you see me moaning and begging before you. It is true that the present sorrows and bitterness which are perhaps the just punishment of my sins. Recognizing myself guilty, will I have to lose hope of being helped by the Lord for this? "Ah! No!" - your great devout Saint Teresa replies - “Certainly not, poor sinners. Turn in any need, however grave it may be, to the effective intercession of the Patriarchs of St. Joseph; go with true faith to him and you will certainly be answered in your questions ". With such confidence, therefore, I present myself before You and implore mercy and mercy. Oh, as far as you can, or St. Joseph help me in my tribulations. Make up for my lack and, as powerful as you are, ensure that, obtained by your pious intercession the grace that I implore, I can return to your altar to pay you homage of my gratitude.
Our Father - Ave Maria - Gloria.
Do not forget, or merciful St. Joseph, that no person in the world, for the great sinner that he was, has turned to you, remaining disappointed in the faith and hope placed in you. How many graces and favors you have obtained for the afflicted! Sick, oppressed, slandered, betrayed, abandoned, resorting to your protection have been granted. Deh! do not allow, O great Saint, that I have to be the only one among many to remain without your comfort. Show yourself good and generous also towards me, and I, thanking you, will exalt in you the goodness and mercy of the Lord.
Our Father - Ave Maria - Gloria.

No human heart can console me; I hope to be comforted by you, give, or glorious Saint. If you grant me the grace that I insistently ask for, I promise to spread devotion to you, to help and support the works that, in your Name, arise to the relief of so many unhappy and dying poor people.
