PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH Oh, St Joseph, whose protection is so great so strong, so prompt before the thone of God. I place in you all my interest 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 wary 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 rerun the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me. This prayer was found in the fifteenth year of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. In 1505 it was sent from the Pope to Emperor Charles when he was going into battle. Whoever shall read this prayer or hear it or keep it about themselves shall never die a sudden death, or be drowned, nor shall poison take them, neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy, or shall be burned in any fire or shall be empowered in battle. Say for nine mornings for anything you may desire. It has never been know to fail, so be sure you really want what you ask. JB
