To Saint Joseph
To Saint Joseph
O Saint Joseph,
foster father of Jesus Christ and true Spouse of Mary ever Virgin,
pray for us and for the dying of this day (night).
To Saint Joseph for vocations
O Saint Joseph,
we beseech You that religious vocations to this work of mercy be multiplied,
and that those who are called for help be eager to respond for the glory and honor of God,
and the relief of many who suffer in misery and abandonment.
(by Fr. Mauro Mastropasqua, S.C., 1949)
