Thank you for joining us in praying today.

As we start this novena, let's pray for all husbands that they may be great leaders and

faithful protectors of their families as St. Joseph was for his. Let's also remember all engaged

couples in our prayers today, as well as those who are discerning marriage and praying to meet

a future spouse. We're praying for you. Here are the prayers for today.

Day one. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen. St. Joseph,

you are the faithful protector and intercessor of all who love and venerate you.

You know that I have confidence in you, and that after Jesus and Mary, I come to you as an example

for holiness, for you are especially close with God. Therefore, I humbly commend myself

with all who are dear to me and all that belong to me to your intercession.

I beg of you by your love for Jesus and Mary not to abandon me during life and to assist me at the hour of my death.

Glorious St. Joseph, spouse of the Immaculate Virgin, pray for me to have a pure, humble, charitable mind,

and perfect resignation to the divine will. Be my guide, my father, and my model through life,

that I may die as you did in the arms of Jesus and Mary. Loving St. Joseph, faithful follower of Jesus Christ, I raise my heart to you to

implore your powerful intercession in obtaining from the divine heart of Jesus all the grace

is necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare, particularly the grace of a happy death

and the special grace I now implore.

Mention your intentions here.
