Third Prayer

O GLORIOUS St. Joseph, thou to whom God didst confide His Only Son. By the grief which possessed thy heart at the sight of the blood which the Divine Infant shed at the circumcision, and, by the joy thou didst experience when the Angel commanded thee to give Him that sacred and mysterious name “Jesus”, obtain that the merits of this Precious Blood may be applied to us, and that this divine Name may be engraved upon our hearts.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.

St. Joseph, pray for us!

Second Prayer

O GLORIOUS St. Joseph, Foster Father of Jesus. By the bitter grief thy heart endured when thou didst behold the Divine Infant laid in a crib, and by the joy thou didst feel in seeing the Magi recognize and adore Him, pray for us and obtain that our hearts, purified by thine intercession, may become living cribs, where the Saviour of the world shall receive and bless our homage.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.

St. Joseph, pray for us!

First Prayer

O GLORIOUS St. Joseph, chaste spouse of the Most Holy Mother of God. By the Sorrow with which thy heart was pierced when Mary returned from Hebron, and by the joy thou didst feel when the Angel revealed unto thee the Mystery of the Incarnation, obtain for us from Jesus, through the Heart of Mary, the grace o surmount everything that might trouble the peace of our souls, and let us obtain this peace from the adorable Heart of Thy Son Jesus, the prince and source of all true peace.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.

St. Joseph, pray for us!
