To thee, O Blessed Joseph, we have recourse in our affliction, and having implored
the help of thy thrice holy Spouse, we now with hearts filled with confidence earnestly beg
thee also to take us under thy protection.

By that charity wherewith thou wast united to  the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and by that fatherly love with which thou didst cherish the Child Jesus, we beseech thee and we humbly pray that thou wilt look down with gracious eye upon that inheritance which Jesus Christ purchased by His blood, and wilt succor us in our need by thy power and strength.

Defend, O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen offspring of Jesus Christ. Keep from us, O most loving father, all blight of error  and corruption. Aid us from on high, most valiant defender, in this conflict with the powers of darkness. And even as of old thou didst rescue the Child Jesus from the peril of His life, so now defend God’s Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and all adversity. Shield us ever under  thy patronage that, following thine example and strengthened by thy help, we may live a holy  life, die a happy death and attain to everlasting bliss in heaven. Amen.

Indulgence of 3 years – 7 years, during the month of October, after the recital of the Holy Rosary. Plenary, on the usual conditions, if this prayer is recited every day for a month.
