"My Darling Joe": A Reflection on a Personal Relationship with Saint Joseph

Prayer to St. Joseph

Hail Sweet and Darling Joe!

Your love for your Son, Jesus and your spouse, Mary is so efficacious!

Teach me to love them!

Help me to serve Jesus as you did.

In times of pain and doubt, may I feel your protection and closeness,

And guide me in the right path.

Intercede for me to your Son, the Incarnate Word!

At the hour of my death, take me to your Son, my Beloved,

So that I may die with your holy arms around me,

And rejoice in heaven with you, your Son, Mother Mary and all the saints forever.

Amen.
