Prayer to St. Joseph (over 1900 years old)
Posted by Angel on 03 Sep 2007 at 2:57 pm | Filed under: Prayers
“O St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in thee all my interests and desires. O St. Joseph, do assist me by thy powerful intercession and obtain for me from thy Divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that, having engaged here below thy heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.
O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating thee and Jesus asleep in thy arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near thy heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen.”
Note: “This prayer was found in the fiftieth year of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In 1505 it was sent from the Pope to Emperor Charles when he was going to battle.
Whoever reads this prayer or hears it or carries it, will never die a sudden death, nor be drowned, nor shall poison take effect on them; neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy, nor be burned in any fire, nor shall they be overpowered in battle.
Make this prayer known everywhere.”
this entry made me smile… my late nephew’s complete name was Joseph Pyro
and I just know that he interceded for us all those months before when my pregnancy was difficult and we were still reeling from grief over him…
From Angel: Hi! Thanks for always dropping by. Pyro, the brave boy who wanted to meet the wrestler? Am sure he is in a much better place now.
the promise to prevent sudden death worked for tthe Marines in Iraq -
had no deaths for six months.
nascar drivers had no deaths for three years.
