Novena prayer to St. Joseph
(that was prayed by Mother Teresa and still is prayed by the Missionaries of Charity today)
O Glorious St. Joseph, faithful follower
of Jesus Christ, to you do we
raise our hearts and hands,/ to implore
your powerful intercession in obtaining
from the benign Heart of Jesus/ all the
helps and graces necessary for our spiritual
and temporal welfare,/ particularly
the grace of a happy death,/ and the special
favor we now implore.
O guardian of the Word Incarnate,/
we feel filled with confidence/ that your
prayers on our behalf/ will be graciously
heard before the throne of God./
O Glorious St. Joseph,/ through the
love you bear to Jesus Christ,/ and for
the glory of His name,/ hear our prayers
and obtain our petitions. (Repeat 7times)
Let us pray
O Glorious St. Joseph,/ spouse of the
Immaculate Virgin,/ obtain for us a
pure,/ humble, and charitable mind,/ and
perfect resignation to the divine Will./
Be our guide, father and model through
life,/ that we may merit to die as you
did,/ in the arms of Jesus and Mary.
