Novena Prayer to St. Joseph

St. Joseph, you are the faithful protector and intercessor
of all who love and venerate you.
I have special confidence in you.
You are powerful with God and will
never abandon your faithful servants.
I humbly invoke you and commend myself with all
who are dear to me to your intercession.

By the love you have for Jesus and Mary,
do not abandon me during life
and assist me at the hour of my death.
Glorious St. Joseph, be my guide,
my father, and my model through life
that I may merit to die as you did in
the arms of Jesus and Mary.
Guardian of the Word Incarnate,
I am confident that your prayers on my behalf
will be graciously heard before the throne of God.

Through Christ, our Lord, Amen
