Novenas to St. Joseph

Two nice novenas to St. Joseph:

O glorious St. Joseph,
friend of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
thou whose power renders impossible things possible,
come to our aid in our present trouble and distress.
Take these important and difficult affairs
which we recommend to your protection,
that they may end happily.

O dear St. Joseph,
all our confidence is in you.
Let it not be said that we have invoked you in vain,
and since you are so powerful with Jesus and Mary,
show that your goodness equals power.

Amen.

Say three times...

St. Joseph, friend of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
pray for us and for all who invoke your aid.


...and my favorite:
Oh Saint Joseph
whose protection is so great,
so strong,
so prompt before the Throne of God,
I place in you all my interests and desires.

Oh Saint Joseph,
assist me by your powerful intercession
and obtain for me from your Divine Son
all spiritual blessings
through Jesus Christ, Our Lord;
so that having engaged here
below your Heavenly power
I may offer my Thanksgiving
and Homage to the most loving of Fathers.

Oh Saint Joseph,
I never weary contemplating you
and Jesus asleep in your arms.
I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart.

Press Him in my name
and kiss His fine Head for me,
and ask Him to return the kiss
when I draw my dying breath.

Saint Joseph,
Patron of departing souls,
pray for us.

Amen


Good St. Joseph, pray for us.
