The Blessed Virgin Mary helped St. Joseph become the great leader and protector of his family that he was.

He needed her prayers, love, and support.

So today let's pray for all mothers, wives, and future wives, that they will love, respect, support,

and pray for their husbands or future spouses.

Let's pray one more time for all families to grow in holiness, and for all families are single people who may be hurting or struggling right now.

Let's ask St. Joseph to pray for their healing and comfort. Here are the

prayers for today. Day 9. 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.
