NOVENA FOR THE INTERCESSION OF SAINT JOSEPH

DAY SIX

Patron of the Church

O most powerful Patriarch, Saint Joseph,
Patron of the Universal Church,
which has always invoked you
in anxieties and tribulations.
From the lofty seat of your glory,
lovingly regard the Catholic Church.
Let it move your paternal heart
to see the mystical Spouse of Christ,
weakened by sorrow and persecuted
by powerful enemies.
We beseech you, by the merits of the
most bitter sufferings of Christ,
to wipe away the tears of His pilgrim people,
to defend and liberate them
and to intercede with the Giver of peace and charity,
that every hostile power be overcome
and every error be destroyed,
so that the whole Church
may serve the God of all blessings
in perfect liberty and peace.
We too raise our hearts to you,
to implore your powerful intercession,
in obtaining from the Divine Heart of Jesus,
all the graces necessary
for our spiritual and temporal welfare,
particularly the grace of a happy death,
and the special grace I now implore:
…………….. (Mention your request)
Guardian of the Word Incarnate,
We feel confident, that your prayers on our behalf,
will be graciously heard, before the throne of God
St Joseph Most Holy Patron of the One Holy Catholic Church,
Pray for us!
Amen

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father
