March, the month dedicated to St. Joseph
J.M.J.
CONSECRATION TO ST. JOSEPH
O, my beloved St. Joseph, adopt me as thy child, take care of my salvation, watch
over me day and night, preserve me from the occasion of sin, obtain for me purity of
soul and body! Through thy intercession with Jesus grant me a spirit of sacrifice, of
humility and self-denial, a burning love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, and a
sweet tender love for Mary, my Mother. St. Joseph, be with me living, be with me
dying and obtain for me a favorable judgment from Jesus, my merciful Savior. Amen
PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH
(Ad te beate Joseph - prayer of Pope Leo XIII)
To thee, O blessed Joseph, do we have recourse in our tribulation, and having
implored the help of thy thrice holy Spouse, we confidently invoke thy patronage
also. By that charity wherewith thou wast united to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of
God, and by that fatherly affection with which thou didst embrace the Child Jesus, we
beseech thee and we humbly pray, that thou wouldst look graciously upon the
inheritance which Jesus Christ hath purchased by His Blood, and assist us in our
needs by thy power and strength.
Most watchful Guardian of the Holy Family, protect the chosen people of Jesus Christ;
keep far from us, most loving father, all blight of error and corruption: mercifully
assist us from heaven, most mighty defender, in this our conflict with the powers of
darkness; and, even as of old thou didst rescue the Child Jesus from the supreme
peril of his life, so now defend God's Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and
from all adversity; keep us one and all under thy continual protection, that we may
be supported by thine example and thine assistance, may be enabled to lead a holy
life, die a happy death and come at last to the possession of everlasting blessedness
in heaven. Amen.
Pope Leo XIII prescribed the recitation of this prayer in his encyclical on
Devotion to St. Joseph ("Quamquam Pluries" -

A partial indulgenced is attached to the prayer.
