O my Beloved St.
Joseph, adopt me as thy child, take care of my
salvation, watch over me day and night, preserve me from the occasion of
sin,
obtain for me purity of soul and body! Through thy intercession with
Jesus grant
me a spirit of sacrifice, of humility and self-denial, a burning love for
Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, and a sweet tender love for Mary, my
Mother.
St. Joseph, be with me living, be with me dying, and obtain for me a
favorable judgment from Jesus, my merciful Savior. Amen.
“Aside from the Blessed Virgin, Saint Joseph was the first and most
perfect
adorer of our Lord.” “Among the graces which Jesus gave to His
foster-father—and He flooded him with graces attached to every one of
His mysteries—is that
special to an adorer of the Blessed Sacrament. That is the one we
must ask of
Saint Joseph. Have confidence, strong confidence in him. Take
him as the
patron and the model of your life of adoration.” “Saint Joseph, first
and most
perfect of adorers, obtain for me the grace to love, adore, and serve
Christ
Eucharistic as you did.” (St. Peter Julian Eymard)
