Remember, O most chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who implored your help and sought your intercession was left unassisted.

Full of confidence in your power, I fly unto you and beg your protection.

Despise not, O Guardian of the Redeemer, my humble supplication, but in your bounty, hear and answer me.

O dearest St. Joseph, I consecrate myself to your honor and give myself to you, that you may always be my father, my protector and my guide in the way of salvation.

Obtain for me a greater purity of heart and fervent love of the interior life.

After your example may I do all my actions for the greater glory of God, in union with the Divine Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

O Blessed St. Joseph, pray for me, that I may share in the peace and joy of your holy death.

Amen.

God, our Father, protector of the poor  and defender of the widow and orphan, 

you called your priest, Blessed Michael McGivney, 

to be an apostle of Christian family life and to lead the young to the generous service of their neighbor. 

Through the example of his life and virtue, may we follow your Son, Jesus Christ, more closely,  fulfilling his commandment of charity and building up his Body which is the Church. 

Let the inspiration of your servant prompt us  to greater confidence in your love so that we may continue  his work of caring for the needy and the outcast.  We humbly ask that you glorify 

Blessed Michael McGivney on earth according to the design of your holy will.  Through his intercession, grant the favor I now present (here make your request).
