Prayer to the “Blessing St Joseph”   Dear St Joseph,   God the Father anointed your hands to provide for and protect the Holy Family, bless our family in our spiritual and material needs..   God the Son, Jesus, grasped your hand and walked with you in trust, bless us with faith and fidelity to Him as our Lord and God…   God the Holy Spirit, poured into your hands the gifts of obedience, chastity and peace, bless us with a lively response to the call to a holy life…   Mary, your Most Chaste Spouse, took your hand in love and respect, bless our relationships to be pure and pleasing in God’s sight.   St Joseph, take into your hands the petitions I now bring (mention your petition) and offer them to Jesus and Mary, and make me feel your fatherly hands blessing me and my loved ones. Amen.       Explanation of the image:   The “Blessing St Joseph” adorns a special chapel in the crypt of the largest church in the world dedicated to the foster-father and legal father of the Only Son of God, Our Lord Jesus Christ while on earth. In the Oratory of St. Joseph in Montreal, through the prayers of St André Bessette to St Joseph his patron, many miracles and favors were granted. This “Blessing St Joseph” (inspired by the Oratory image) brings to our homes the spirit of devotion to the Saint who is second only to the Blessed Virgin Mary as the most powerful intercessor before the throne of God because of his intimate relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ.   (get your special image of “The Blessing St. Joseph” from Claude,  0917 876 2745.
