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 |
