Candlemas Day, A little prayer

A Prayer to Obtain a Special Favour through Saint Joseph

O blessed Saint Joseph, tender-hearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, we pray and beseech thee to offer to God the Father His Divine Son, bathed in blood on the Cross for sinners, and through the thrice-holy Name of Jesse, obtain for us from the Eternal Father the favour we implore.

(Name your request)

Appease the Divine anger so justly inflamed by our crimes, beg of Jesus mercy for thy children. Amid the splendors of eternity, forget not the sorrows of those who suffer, those who pray, those who weep; stay the Almighty arm which smites us, that by thy prayers and those of thy most holy spouse, the Heart of Jesus may be moved to pity and to pardon. Amen.

St. Joseph, Pray for Us.

Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Anne, Therese; I love You; Save Souls!

Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori.

Jesu mitis et humilis corde, fac cor nostrum secundum Cor tuum. (ter)
