He is Holy Joseph,
Because no other saint but he
Lived in such and so long
Intimacy and familiarity
With the source of all holiness,
Jesus, God incarnate, and Mary,
The holiest of creatures.

Blessed be the name of Joseph Henceforth and for ever. Amen.

—John Henry Cardinal Newman

Thank you roonie, St. Joseph is one of my favorite saints; my oldest son "Joe" is named after him... here is my favorite prayer to St. Joseph... most powerful and effective...!

O St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. O St. Joseph do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that having engaged here below your Heavenly power I may offer my Thanksgiving and Homage to the most Loving of Fathers. O St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me.

This prayer was found in the fiftienth year of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In 1505 it was sent from the Pope to Emperor Charles when he was going into battle. Whoever shall read this prayer or hear it or keep it about themselves, shall never die a sudden death, or be drowned, not shall posion take effect of them; neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy; or shall be burned in any fire, or shall be overpowered in battle.

Linda praying
