Blessed Joseph, loving husband of Mary, the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God,
and foster-father of her Son, we turn to you with confidence as we pray
for the church throughout the world.
Watch over the family of God, bought by the precious Blood of Christ,
as you watched over the Holy Family of Nazareth.
You once rescued the child Jesus from danger of death:
protect now His Mystical Body from the powers of darkness
and strengthen it in every trial.
Give it your own courage in the struggle against evil,
and keep it free from sin and error.
Help us to follow your example, that we may live a Holy life,
die a Holy death and so share your joy for ever in Heaven.
