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 this prayer for nine
mornings
for anything you may desire.
It has never been known to
fail,
so be sure you really want what you ask.
O Saint 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, Saint Joseph, do assisit me by your powerful
intersession,
and obtain for me from your devine 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 Saint 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 Him when I draw my dying
breath. Saint Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me.In the
name
of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen and Amen
