Sacred mantle in honor of St. Joseph, a devotion to have graces

Patron and Guardian of Christian families

SACRED COAT IN HONOR OF SAN GIUSEPPE

It is a particular homage paid to St. Joseph, to honor his person and to place us under the mantle of his protection. It is advisable to recite these prayers for thirty consecutive days, in honor of the thirty years of life lived by Saint Joseph in the company of Jesus Christ. The graces that are obtained from God by resorting to St. Joseph are without number.

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Jesus, Joseph and Mary, I give you my heart and soul.

3 Glory to the SS. Trinity.
(thanking her for exalting St. Joseph to a completely exceptional dignity.)

OFFER:

1. Here I am, O Grand Patriarch, devoutly prostrated before you. I present this precious mantle to you and offer you the purpose of my faithful and sincere devotion. All that I will be able to do in your honor, during my life, I intend to do it, to show you the love I bring you. Help me, St. Joseph! Assist me now and in all my life, but above all assist me in the hour of my death, as you were assisted by Jesus and Mary, so that I may one day honor you in the heavenly homeland for all eternity. Amen.

2. O glorious Patriarch St. Joseph, prostrate before you, I present my gifts with devotion and begin to offer you this precious collection of prayers, in memory of the innumerable virtues that adorn your holy person. In you the mysterious dream of the ancient Joseph, who was an anticipated figure of yours, was fulfilled: not only, in fact, the divine Sun surrounded you with its shining rays, but I also illuminated your mystical Moon, Mary with its sweet light. Oh, glorious Patriarch, if the example of Jacob, who went personally to rejoice with his beloved son, exalted over the throne of Egypt, served to drag his children there too, the example of Jesus and of Mary, who honored you with all their esteem and all their trust, to draw me as well, to weave this precious mantle in your honor? Oh, great Saint, make the Lord turn a look of benevolence on me. And as the ancient Joseph did not drive away the guilty brothers, on the contrary he welcomed them full of love, protected them and saved them from hunger and death, so you, o glorious Patriarch, through your intercession, make the Lord never want abandon myself in this valley of exile. In addition, obtain the grace to always keep me in the number of your devoted servants, who live peacefully under the mantle of your patronage. I wish to have this patronage for every day of my life and at the moment of my last breath. Amen.

PRAYERS:

1. Hail, glorious St. Joseph, custodian of the incomparable treasures of Heaven and putative father of the One who supports all creatures. After Mary Most Holy, you are the most worthy saint of our love and deserving of our veneration. Of all the Saints, you alone had the honor of raising, nurturing and embracing the Messiah, whom so many Prophets and Kings had desired to see. St. Joseph, save my soul and obtain for me from divine mercy the grace that I humbly implore. And for the blessed Souls of Purgatory you get great relief in their pains.

3 Glory be to the Father.

2. O mighty St. Joseph, you were declared universal patron of the Church, and I invoke you among all the saints, as a very strong protector of the poor and I bless your heart a thousand times, always ready to help all sorts of needs. To you, dear St. Joseph, the widow, the orphan, the abandoned, the afflicted, all sorts of unfortunate people appeal; there is no pain, distress or disgrace that you have not mercifully helped. Therefore, deign to use in my favor the means that God has placed in your hands, so that I may attain the grace that I ask of you. And you, holy souls of Purgatory, beg St. Joseph for me.

3 Glory be to the Father.

3. To the many thousands of people who prayed to you before me, you have given comfort and peace, thanks and favors. My soul, sad and pained, does not find rest in the midst of the anguish by which it is oppressed. You, oh dear saint, know all my needs, even before I expose them with prayer. You know how much I need the grace that I ask of you. I prostrate myself in your presence and sigh, oh dear St. Joseph, under the heavy weight that oppresses me. No human heart is open to me, to which I can confide my pains; and, even if I were to find compassion with some charitable soul, it still could not help me. Therefore I turn to you and I hope that you will not reject me, since St. Teresa said and left written in her memoirs: "Any grace asked of St. Joseph will certainly be granted". Oh! St. Joseph, comforter of the afflicted, have mercy on my pain and mercy on the holy souls in Purgatory who hope so much from our prayers.

3 Glory be to the Father.

4. O exalted Saint, for your most perfect obedience to God, have mercy on me.
For your holy life full of merits, grant me.
For your dearest Name, help me.
For your very heart, help me.
For your holy tears, comfort me.
For your seven pains, have compassion on me.
For your seven rejoices, console my heart.
Free me from all evil of body and soul.
From every danger and misfortune escape me.
Help me with your holy protection and beg for me, in your mercy and power, what is necessary for me and above all the grace that I particularly need. To the dear souls of Purgatory you get the prompt liberation from their pains.

3 Glory be to the Father.

5. O glorious St. Joseph the graces and favors that you obtain for the afflicted poor are innumerable. Sick of every kind, oppressed, slandered, betrayed, deprived of all human comfort, miserable in need of bread or support, they implore your royal protection and are granted in their requests. Deh! do not allow, dear St. Joseph, that I have to be the only one, among so many benefited persons, that I remain without the grace I have asked of you. Show yourself also to me powerful and generous and I will thank you by blessing you for ever, glorious Patriarch St. Joseph, my great protector and particular liberator of the holy souls in Purgatory.

3 Glory be to the Father.

6. O eternal divine Father, by the merits of Jesus and Mary, deign to grant me the grace that I implore. In the name of Jesus and Mary, I prostrate myself reverently in your divine presence and I pray to you devoutly to accept my firm decision to persevere in the ranks of those who live under the patronage of St. Joseph. So bless the precious mantle, which I dedicate to him today as a pledge of my devotion.

3 Glory be to the Father.

INVOCATIONS TO SAN GIUSEPPE

I. Remember, O most pure husband of Mary, or my dear protector St. Joseph, that no one was ever heard to invoke your protection and asked for your help without having been consoled. With this trust I turn to you and I fervently recommend you. O St. Joseph, listen to my prayer, accept it pitifully and grant it. Amen.

II. Glorious St. Joseph, husband of Mary and virginal father of Jesus, think of me, watch over me. Teach me to work for my sanctification and take under your compassionate care the urgent needs that today I entrust to your paternal concerns. Remove obstacles and difficulties and ensure that the happy outcome of what I ask you is for the greater glory of the Lord and for the good of my soul. And as a sign of my most grateful gratitude, I promise you to make your glories known, while with all affection I bless the Lord who wanted you so powerful in heaven and on earth.

CLOSURE OF THE SACRED MANTLE.

O Glorious Saint Joseph, who by God has been placed at the head and guardian of the holiest of families, deign to be my soul guardian from heaven, who asks to be received under the mantle of your patronage. From this moment on, I elect you as father, protector, guide, and I place under your special custody my soul, my body, what I have and what I am, my life and my death. Look at me as your son; defend me from all my visible and invisible enemies; assist me in all my needs: console me in all the bitterness of life, but especially in the agonies of death. Speak a word for me to that lovable Redeemer, whom you Child carried in your arms, to that glorious Virgin, of whom you were most beloved spouse. Request for me those blessings that you see are useful for my true good, for my eternal salvation, and I will do everything to not make myself unworthy of your special patronage. Amen.
