How to be no-protagonist.
How we keep going, without trampling.
How we collaborate, without imposing.
How we love, without demanding.
Tell us dear Joseph,
How to live, being “the number two”.
How important things are done, from a second place.
Explain to us dear Joseph,
How to be great, without showing off.
How to fight, without applause.
How to progress, without advertising.
How we persevere and die, without expecting to be honored.
Amen
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To You, God entrusted His only Son; in You Mary placed Her trust; with You Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph to us too, show yourself a Father and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage and defend us from evil.
Amen
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.
Gracious St. Joseph, protect me and my family from all evil as you did the Holy Family. Kindly keep us ever united in the love of Christ, ever fervent in imitation of the virtue of our Blessed Lady, your sinless spouse, and always faithful in devotion to you. Amen.
O Blessed Saint Joseph, faithful guardian and protector of virgins, to whom God entrusted Jesus and Mary, I implore you by the love which you did bear them, to preserve me from every defilement of soul and body, that I may always serve them in holiness and purity of love. Amen.
