3x Glory Be *
(* To the Holy Trinity, giving thanks for having ‘exalted St. Joseph to
a position of such exceptional dignity.’)
OFFERING I:
O Glorious Patriarch St. Joseph, I humbly prostrate myself before Thee.
I beg the Lord Jesus, thine Immaculate Spouse, the Blessed Virgin Mary,
and all the Angels and Saints in the Heavenly Court, to join me in this
devotion. I offer thee this precious cloak, while pledging my sincerest
faith and devotion. I promise to do all in my power to honour thee
throughout my lifetime to prove my love for thee.
Help me, St. Joseph. Assist me now and throughout my lifetime, but
especially at the moment of my death, as thou wert assisted by Jesus and
Mary, that I may join thee one day in Heaven and there honour thee for
all eternity. Amen.
•••••••
OFFERING II:
O Glorious Patriarch St. Joseph, prostrate, before thee and thy Divine
Son, Jesus, I offer thee, with heartfelt devotion, this precious
treasury of prayers, being ever mindful of the numerous virtues which
adorned thy sacred person. In thee, O Glorious Patriarch, was fulfilled
the dream of thy precursor the first Joseph, who indeed seemed to have
been sent by God to prepare the way for thy presence on this earth. In
fact, not only wert thou surrounded by the shining splendour of the rays
of the Divine Sun, Jesus, but thou wert splendidly reflected in the
brilliant light of the mystic moon, the Blessed Virgin Mary. O Glorious
Patriarch, if the example of the ancient Jacob, who personally went to
congratulate his favourite son, who was exalted on the throne of Egypt,
served to bring all his progeny there, should not the example of Jesus
and Mary, who honoured thee with their greatest respect and trust, serve
to bring me, thy devoted servant, to present thee with this precious
cloak in thy honour.
Grant, O Great St. Joseph, that the Almighty God may turn a benevolent
glance toward me. As the ancient Joseph did not reject his guilty and
cruel brothers, but rather accepted them with love and protected and
saved them from hunger and death, I beseech thee, O Glorious Patriarch,
through thine intercession, grant that the Lord may never abandon me in
this exiled valley of sorrows. Grant that He may always number me as one
of thy devoted servants who dost live serenely under the patronage of
thy Holy Cloak. Grant that I may live always within the protection of
this patronage, every day of my life and particularly at that moment
when I draw my dying breath. Amen.
•••••••
PRAYER I:
Hail O Glorious St. Joseph, thou who art entrusted with the priceless
treasures of heaven and earth and foster-father of Him Who doth nourish
all the creatures of the universe. Thou art, after Mary, the Saint most
worthy of our love and devotion. Thou alone, above all the Saints, wert
chosen for that supreme honour of rearing, guiding, nourishing and even
embracing the Messiah, Whom so many kings and prophets would have so
desired to behold.
St. Joseph, save my soul and obtain for me from the Divine Mercy of God
that petition for which I humbly pray.
And for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, grant a great comfort from their
pain. Amen.
3x Glory Be *

PRAYER II:
O powerful St. Joseph, thou wert proclaimed the Patron of the Universal
Church, therefore, I invoke thee, above all the other Saints, as the
greatest protector of the afflicted, and I offer countless blessings to
thy most generous heart, always ready to help in any need.
To thee, O Glorious St. Joseph, come the widows, the orphans, the
abandoned, the afflicted, the oppressed. There is no sorrow, heartache
or anguish which thou hast not consoled. Deign, I beseech thee, to use
on my behalf those gifts which God hast given thee, until I too shall be
granted the answer to my petition. And thou, Holy Souls in Purgatory,
pray to St. Joseph for me. Amen.
3x Glory Be *
•••••••
PRAYER III:
Countless are those who have prayed to thee before me and have received
comfort and peace, graces and favours. My heart, so sad and sorrowful,
cannot find rest in the midst of this trial which besets me. O Glorious
St. Joseph, thou knowest all my needs even before I set them forth in
prayer. Thou knowest how important this petition is for me. I prostrate
myself before thee as I sigh under the heavy weight of the problem which
confronts me.
There is no human heart in which I can confide my sorrow; and even if I
should find a compassionate creature who would be willing to assist me,
still he would be unable to help me. Only thou can help me in my sorrow,
St. Joseph, and I beg thee to hear my plea.
Has not St. Teresa left it written in her dialogues that the world may
always know “Whatever you ask of St. Joseph, you shall receive.”
O St. Joseph, comforter of the afflicted, have pity on my sorrow and
pity on those Poor Souls who place so much hope in their prayers to
thee. Amen.
3x Glory Be *

PRAYER IV:
O Sublime Patriarch St. Joseph, because of thy perfect obedience to God,
thou mayest intercede for me.
For thy holy life full of grace and merit, hear my prayer.
For thy most sweet name, help me.
For thy most holy tears, comfort me.
For thy seven sorrows, intercede for me.
For thy seven joys, console me.
From all harm of body and soul, deliver me.
From all danger and disaster, save me.
Assist me with thy powerful intercession and seek for me, through thy
power and mercy, all that is necessary for my salvation and particularly
the favour of which I now stand in such great need. Amen.
3x Glory Be *
•••••••
PRAYER V:
O Glorious St. Joseph, countless are the graces and favours which thou
hast obtained for afflicted souls. Illness of every nature, those who
are oppressed, persecuted, betrayed, bereft of all human comfort, even
those in need of their life bread — all who imploreth thy powerful
intercession are comforted in their affliction.
Do not permit, O dearest St. Joseph, that I alone be the only one of all
who hast appealed to thee, to be denied this petition which I so
earnestly beg of thee. Show thy kindness and generosity even to me, that
I may cry out in thanksgiving, “Eternal glory to our Holy Patriarch St.
Joseph, my great protector on earth and the defender of the Holy Souls
in Purgatory.” Amen.
3x Glory Be *

PRAYER VI:
Eternal Father, Who art in Heaven,through the merits of Jesus and Mary,
I beg Thee to grant my petition. In the name of Jesus and Mary I
prostrate myself before Thy Divine presence and I beseech Thee to accept
my hopeful plea to persevere in my prayers that I may be numbered among
the throngs of those who live under the patronage of St. Joseph.
Extend Thy blessing on this precious treasury of prayers which I today
offer to him as a pledge of my devotion. Amen.

Section III: Invocations to St. Joseph
i) Remember O most chaste spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, my good
protector St. Joseph, that never was it known that anyone who came to
thy protection, and sought thy intercession was left unaided.
Confidently I prostrate myself before thee and fervently beg for thy
powerful intervention. O foster-Father of our dear Redeemer, despise not
my petition, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.

father of Jesus, look upon me and watch over me; lead me on the path of

envelop within the folds of thy fatherly cloak. Dismiss those obstacles
and difficulties standing in the way of my prayer and grant that the
happy answer to my petition may serve for the greater glory of God and
my eternal salvation. As a pledge of my undying gratitude, I promise to
spread the word of thy glory while offering thanks to the Lord for
having so blessed thy power and might in heaven and earth. Amen.

On December 8th Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Prostrate before thy throne of grace, O Queen of the Most Holy Rosary,
we intend to fulfill, inasmuch as it lies within our power, the request
which thou didst make when appearing to us at Fatima.
The abominable sins of the world, the persecutions directed against the
Church of Jesus Christ, and still more, the apostasy of nations and of
Christian souls, and the forgetfulness, in fine, of thy maternity of
grace by the greater part of mankind overwhelms thy Sorrowful and
Immaculate Heart, which is so united in its compassion to the sufferings
of the Sacred Heart of thy Divine Son.
That so many crimes might be atoned for, thou didst ask for the
establishment of the devotion of reparation to thy Immaculate Heart,
and, in order to hold back the scourges of God which thou hast foretold,
thou hast made thyself the messenger of the Most High, requiring of the
Vicar of Jesus Christ, in union with all the bishops of the world, the
consecration of Russia to thy Immaculate Heart. Alas, the message has
not yet been heeded.
That is why we desire to anticipate the happy day on which the Sovereign
Pontiff will finally accede to the request of thy Divine Son. Without
attributing to ourselves an authority which we do not possess, but
penetrated with solicitude for the lot of the entire church, by a humble
supplication addressed to thy Immaculate Heart, and united to the
faithful bishops, priests and faithful, we have resolved to comply for
our part with the wishes of Heaven.
Deign, therefore, O Mother of God, to accept first of all the solemn act
of reparation which we present to thy Immaculate Heart for all the
offenses by which, with the Sacred Heart of Jesus, It is assailed on the
part of sinners and the wicked.
Secondly, as much as it is within our power, we give, deliver and
consecrate Russia to thy Immaculate Heart: we beseech thee, in thy
maternal mercy, to take this nation under thy maternal protection, to
make of her thy domain, where thou reignest as Queen, to make this land
of persecutions a land of election and benediction. We implore thee to
render this nation so submissive unto thee that, converted from her
legalized godlessness, she might become a new kingdom for Our Lord Jesus
Christ, and a new inheritance for His gentle scepter. May she, moreover,
having returned from her schism of old, enter anew the unity of the One
Sheepfold of the Eternal Shepherd, and thus submitted to the Vicar of
thy Son, may she become an ardent apostle of the Social Reign of Our
Lord Jesus Christ over all the nations of the earth.
Likewise we implore thee, O Mother of Mercy, by this manifest miracle of
thy all-powerful intercession, to make known to the world the truth of
thy universal mediation of grace. Deign, in fine, O Queen of Peace, to
bring to the world that peace which the world cannot give: peace of arms
and peace of souls; the peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ, and
the Kingdom of Christ through the reign of thy Immaculate Heart, O Mary.
Amen.
