O glorious descendant of the kings of Judah, Inheritor of the virtues of all the patriarchs. Just and happy St. Joseph, listen to my prayer. Thou art our glorious protector, and shall ever be, after Jesus and Mary, the object of our most profound veneration and confidence. Thou art the most hidden, though the greatest Saint, and art particularly the patron of interior souls. 

In union with all those who have ever been most devoted to thee, we now dedicate ourselves to thy service, beseeching thee, for the sake of Jesus Christ, Who vouchsafed to love and obey thee as a son, to become a father to us; and to obtain for us the filial respect, confidence and love of a child towards thee.

O powerful advocate of all Christians, whose intercession, as St. Teresa assures us, has never been found to fail, deign to intercede for us now, and to implore for us the particular intentions of this Novena. (Specify them.)

Present us O great Saint to the adorable Trinity, with Whom thou hast so glorious and so intimate a correspondence. Obtain that we may never efface by sin the Sacred Image according to the likeness of which we have been created. Beg for us that our divine Redeemer would enkindle in our hearts and in all hearts, the fire of His Love, and infuse therein the virtues of His adorable infancy: His purity, simplicity, obedience, and humility.

Obtain for us likewise a lively devotion to thy virgin spouse, and protect us so powerfully in life and death that we may have the happiness of dying as thou didst, in the friendship of our Creator, and under the immediate protection of the Mother of God. Amen.

Lord, have mercy. 
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.  Christ, hear us. 
Christ, graciously hear us. 

God, the Father of Heaven, have mercy on us. God the Son, Redeemer of the world, have mercy on us. 
God the Holy Spirit, have mercy on us. 
Holy Trinity, One God, have mercy on us.

Let Us Pray

O God, Who in Thine ineffable Providence didst vouchsafe to choose Blessed Joseph to be the spouse of Thy most holy Mother, grant, we beseech Thee, that he whom we venerate as our protector on earth may be our intercessor in Heaven. Who lives and reigns forever and ever.
Amen.

Let us pray:
O God, Who in Thine ineffable providence didst choose Blessed Joseph to be the spouse of Thy most Holy Mother, grant that as we venerate him as our protector on earth, we may deserve to have him as our intercessor in Heaven, Thou Who livest and reignest forever and ever. Amen.

Saint Joseph, pray for us.
