Prayer to St. JosephBlessed Joseph,loving husband of Mary, the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and foster-father of her Son, we turn to you with confidence as we pray for the Church throughout the world. Watch over the family of God bought by the precious blood of Christ, as you watched over the Holy Family of Nazareth. You once rescued the Child Jesus from danger of death. Protect now His mystical body from the powers of darkness and strengthen it in every trial. Give it your own courage in the struggle against evil, and keep it free from sin and error. Help us to follow your example, that we may live a holy life, die a holy death, and so share your joy for ever in Heaven. Amen. Prayer to St. John the EvangelistO Blessed John,beloved disciple of Jesus we, your brothers and sisters in Jesus and Mary, humbly ask you for your patronage and prayers, that we may follow your example in accepting the Blessed Virgin Mary into our lives; to learn from her, and to allow her to form us into the likeness of Jesus. May your holy Gospel inspire us to open our hearts to the infinite love of God our Father. Through your intercession may we always receive the consolation of the Holy Spirit. Amen Prayer for the Holy Souls in PurgatoryOur Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be....May the divine assistance remain always with us, and may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. |
