St. Joseph was a working man, a carpenter.

He's also the patron saint of the unemployed.

So today let's pray for everyone who is unemployed and underemployed. Let's pray for all of those who are working nonstop to make ends

meat, and for those who struggle to provide food and shelter for their families. Here are the prayers for

today. Day 5.

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.

Guardian of the word incarnate, I feel confident that your prayers on my behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God.

St. Joseph most obedient.

Pray for us.
