Prayer to Saint Joseph
To You, O Blessed Joseph, held in tribulation, let us turn, and confidently invoke Your patronage after that of Your Most Holy Bride.
For that sacred bond of charity which bound you to the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and for the fatherly love which you brought to the child Jesus, consider, We pray to you, with a benign eye, the beloved inheritance which Jesus Christ acquired with his Blood, and with your power and help you help our needs.
Protect, O provident guardian of the Divine Family, the elect offspring of Jesus Christ: remove from us, O most beloved Father, the errors and vices that beset the world; assist us propitiously from heaven in this struggle against the power of darkness, O our mighty protector; and as you once saved from death the threatened life of the little boy Jesus, so now defend the holy Church of God from hostile snares and from all adversity; and spread every hour over each of us your patronage, so that by your example and by your help, we can live virtuously, piously die and attain eternal bliss in heaven. So be it

Triduum to St. Joseph
To obtain a grace
« I do not remember so far have pleaded St. Joseph for anything, that he has not comforted me ...»
(Saint Teresa)
I.
O St. Joseph, my protector, I resort to you, so get me out of the Heart of Jesus this grace. For my sins I do not deserve to be heard. I beg you to my shortcomings and, as powerful as you are, that is obtained through your intercession the longed-for grace; I may come at your feet to thank you and make gifts of gratitude.
Our father, Ave Maria and Glory.
II.
Do not forget, dear St. Joseph that no person in the world resorted to you, being disappointed in the trust and the hope placed in you. Do not allow, or great saint, that I alone be deprived of the grace that I ask you. Shown powerful and generous even to me; and my tongue, thanking you, in you will enhance the goodness and mercy of God.
Our father, Ave Maria and Glory.
III.
O St. Joseph, head of the Holy Family, I will deeply revere and wholeheartedly invoke you. The afflicted, who prayed to you before me, you have given comfort and thanks,. Deign, therefore, to console also my grieved soul. Thou, Oh great Saint, see God in all my needs. You then, you know how much I needed the grace that I ask you. From Thee I hope to be comforted, and I promise to spread devotion to you and to help the works that, in your name, rise to the relief of so many unhappy and dying. O St. Joseph, comforter of the afflicted, have pity on me!
Our father, Ave Maria and Glory.
Supplication
Remember, Oh most pure spouse of Mary the Virgin, Oh sweet my patron St. Joseph, who never heard anyone have invoked your protection and asked for your help, without being consoled.

To achieve a good death
O Glorious Patriarch St. Joseph, benevolent protector of the dying, my special counsel, for happiness, for the love with which you served in all the days of your life as the Bridegroom to Mary, as Father to Jesus, for the pain that you were suffering with so much resignation, for the joys that you received with much humility from the God who knows nothing now deny to your questions, as always I was obedient here on earth, obtain for, please, a plenary remission of all my past failings, and always ready will to serve it better in the future, so always living like you in virtue and holiness can like you deserve to be dead assisted by Jesus and Mary, that in this world you did try anticipated joys of Paradise. Keep watch over me in the whole course of my life, as you took care over Jesus, when tender child was entrusted to your care. Defend me from every enemy onslaught, and never allow that death will seize me to a point where I have forfeited with a less Christian conduct your protection.
So be it.
Jesus, Joseph and Mary - I give you my heart and my soul.
Jesus, Joseph and Mary - assist me in my last agony.
Jesus, Joseph and Mary - breathes in peace with you my soul.

Three invocations to Saint Joseph
- Or Saint Joseph, my protector and lawyer, to you I turn, so that & eacute; implores me the Grace for which you see me to moan and to beg in front of you. It is true that the present sorrows and bitterness that I feel are perhaps the just punishment of my sins. By acknowledging my guilt, must I therefore lose hope of being helped by the Lord? " Ah! no - i answers your great devoted Saint Teresa no sure, or poor sinners. Turn in any need, however grave, to the effective intercession of Patriarch Saint Joseph; go to him with true faith and you will certainly be heard in your questions".
