Saint Joseph

Hail, guardian of the Redeemer
and husband of the Virgin Mary!

To you God entrusted his Son;
in you, Mary placed her trust;
with you, Christ became man.

O Blessed Joseph, show yourself a father to us too
and guide us on the path of life.

Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,
and defend us from all evil. Amen.

(Pope Francis, Patris Corde)
