Prayer for the Year of St Joseph

​

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

on the path of life.

Obtain for us grace,

mercy and courage,

and defend us 

from every evil.

Amen.
