Novena Prayer to St. Joseph:
St. Joseph, you are the faithful protector & intercessor of all who love & venerate you. I have special confidence in you. You are powerful with God and will never abandon your faithful servants. I humbly invoke you & commend myself with all who are dear to me to your intercession.
By the love you have for Jesus & Mary, do not abandon me during life & 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 & 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.
Memorare to St. Joseph:
Remember, O Most Chaste Spouse of the Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, my spiritual father, and beg your protection. O Foster Father of the Redeemer, despise not my petitions, but in your goodness hear & answer me. Amen
