Oh, St. 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, St. Joseph do 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, St. 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.

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

Amen.
