NOVENA PRAYERS TO ST. JOSEPH

NOVENA PRAYERS TO ST. JOSEPH

DAY 1:

ST. JOSEPH’S
ROSARY
(This prayer is to be said during this period of Novena
to St. Joseph)

This is the hour of involving ourselves
(practical) in the catholic faith which we’ve been experiencing here…

The rosary may be prayed
just as Marian rosary, substituting the following prayer for the “Hail Mary”:

Joseph,
son of David, and husband of Mary; we honor you, guardian of the Redeemer, and
we adore the child you named Jesus.
Saint Joseph,
patron of the universal church, pray for us, that like you we may live totally
dedicated to the interests of the Savior. Amen.

Mysteries of the Rosary of
St. Joseph

1. Betrothal to Mary (Mt
1:18).
2. Annunciation to Joseph (Mt1:19-21).
3. Birth and Naming of Jesus (Mt1:22-25).
4. Flight into Egypt (Mt 2:13-15).
5. Hidden Life at Nazareth 
(Mt 2:23; Lk2:51-52).

CONCLUDING PRAYER
To you, O blessed Joseph do we come in our tribulation,
and having implored the help of your most holy spouse,
we confidently invoke your patronage also.

Through that charity which
bound you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the paternal love
with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you graciously to regard
the inheritance which Jesus Christ has purchased by his Blood, and with your
power and strength to aid us in our necessities.
O most watchful Guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen children of
Jesus Christ; 
O most loving father, ward off from us every contagion of error and corrupting
influence; 
O our most mighty protector, be propitious to us and from heaven assist us in
our struggle with the power of darkness; and, as once you rescued the Child
Jesus from deadly peril, so now protect God’s Holy Church from the snares of
the enemy and from all adversity;
shield, too, each one of us by your constant protection, so that, supported by
your example and your aid, we may be able to live piously, to die holily, and
to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen.
