Saint Joseph, happy man, who had the fortune to see and hear God himself, whom many kings wished to see and did not see, hear and did not hear; and not only to see and hear, but also to bring him in your arms, kiss him, clothe him and guard him!
V. Pray for us, blessed Saint Joseph.
R. That we may be worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray. O God, who granted us the royal priesthood, we ask you that, just as Saint Joseph deserved to care for and bring in his arms with affection your Only Begotten Son, born of the Virgin Mary, make us serve you with a clean heart and good works, so that today we worthily receive the most holy Body and Blood of your Son and in the future life we deserve to reach the eternal prize. Amen.
