Oh, St.
Joseph, whose protection is so great,
so
strong, so prompt before the throne of God,
I
place in you all my interest and desires.
Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful
intercession
and obtain for me from your
divine
Son all spiritual blessings, through
Jesus
Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged
here
below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage
to the most loving of Fathers.
Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you, and Jesus asleep
in your arms: I dare not approach while He reposes near your
heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me
and ask him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath.
St. Joseph, Patron of departed souls - Pray for me.

This
prayer was found in the fiftieth year of Our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. In 1505 it was sent from the Pope to Emperor Charles
when he was going into battle. Whoever shall read this
prayer or hear it or keep it about themselves, shall never die a
sudden death, or be drowned, nor shall poison take effect on
them: neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy,
or shall be burned in any fire or shall be overpowered in battle.
Say
for nine mornings for anything you may desire. It has never
been known to fail, so be sure you really want what you ask.
