Joseph
R.I.P.
December 20 2004 Eternal rest grant unto
him O Lord, and let perpetual light
shine upon him. May
he rest in peace. Amen
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 foster-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 departing souls, pray for us.
Amen.
