COME to thec, 0 blessed Joseph, in our sore disrn
tress and having sought the help of thy most
blessed spouse, maow confidently implore thy assistance
also. We humbly beg that, mindful of the dutiful
affection which bound thee to the immaculate,
virgin Mother of God and of the fatherly love whem
with thou didst cherish the Child Jesus, thou wilt
lovingly watch over the heritage which Jesus Christ
purchased with His blood, and of thy strength and
power help us in our urgent need.
0 most provident Guardian of the Divine Family,
protect the chosen race of Jesus Christ; drive far
from us, most loving Father, every pest of error and
corrupting sin; from thy place in heaven, most powerful
Deliverer, graciously come to our aid in this con-
0ict with the powers of darkness; and as of old thou
didst deliver the Child Jesus from supreme peril of
life, so now defend the holy Church of God from the
snares of her enemies and from all adversity; have
each of us always in thy keeping that following thine
example, and borne up by thy strength we may be
able to live halily, die happily, and so enter into the
everlasting bliss of heam. Amen.
