Farmer's Prayer to Saint Joseph

O glorious St. Joseph,


foster father of Jesus,


you did provide for the Holy Family.


We commit to your protection all our crops and farm 


industries.


Deign, we beseech you, to intercede in our behalf


with Almighty God, 


Who rules the seasons,


so that our fields being safe from pests and favored by 


the weather


may yield abundant crops


that will allow us to supply the wants of life.


Thus freed from earthly worries


may we after your example


apply all our thoughts to eternal life.


We beseech you


to instill a love of the land into the hearts of our youth


for their own salvation and that of Christian unity


so that we may all share hereafter


in the same blissful life you enjoy in heaven.


Amen.
