JOSEPH, PATRON OF THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH
O
most powerful patriarch, Saint Joseph,
patron of that universal Church which has always invoked thee
most powerful patriarch, Saint Joseph,
patron of that universal Church which has always invoked thee
in anxieties and
tribulations; from the lofty seat of thy glory lovingly regard the Catholic
world. Let it move thy paternal heart to see the mystical spouse of Christ and
His vicar weakened by sorrow and persecuted by powerful enemies. We beseech
thee, by the most bitter suffering thou did experience on earth,
to wipe away in mercy the tears of the revered pontiff, to defend and liberate
him, and to intercede with the Giver of peace and charity, that every hostile
power being overcome and every error being destroyed, the whole Church may
serve the God of all blessings in perfect liberty.
Amen.
