Novena to Saint Joseph 2017 | Day 3

Saint Joseph

March 13, 2017

Today is the third day of the novena to Saint Joseph, the husband of Mary. We continue to pray for all husbands and fathers, that they increase in purity and strength. Let us pray especially for the ability and grace to practice chastity so that we may all grow in perfect love with God, in imitation of our Savior, Christ.

Day 3 – St. Joseph, Husband of Mary Novena

Saint Joseph, you are the faithful protector and intercessor of all who love and venerate you. You know that I have confidence in you and that, after Jesus and Mary, I come to you as an example for holiness, for you are especially close with God. Therefore, I humbly commend myself, with all who are dear to me and all that belong to me, to your intercession. I beg of you, by your love for Jesus and Mary, not to abandon me during life and to assist me at the hour of my death.

Glorious Saint Joseph, spouse of the Immaculate Virgin, pray for me to have a pure, humble, charitable mind, and perfect resignation to the divine Will. Be my guide and model through life that I may die in the arms of Jesus and Mary.

Loving Saint Joseph, faithful follower of Jesus Christ, I raise my heart to you to implore your powerful intercession in obtaining from the Divine Heart of Jesus all the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare, particularly the grace of a happy death, and the special grace I now implore:

(Mention your request.)

Guardian of the Word Incarnate, I feel confident that your prayers on my behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God. Amen.

St. Joseph, Most Faithful, Pray for us!

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
