The Memorare to St Joseph

Remember, O most pure spouse of the

Blessed Virgin Mary, my great protector, Saint Joseph, that no one ever had

recourse to your protection, or implored

your aid without obtaining relief. Confiding therefore in your goodness, I come before you. Do not turn down my petitions, foster

father of the Redeemer, but graciously receive them. Amen.

My Lord, my God, died for me. I did not know it, I did not ask for it. But when I knew, when I found out, it changed my life. How could I not love the God who suffered, who was mocked, who was spat on, who hung there… for me. I did not know what love was. I did not know that I could be loved with such an intense passion. That I, with my selfishness, with my sin, with my stupidity, could be worth so much. That He, He who made me, He who knew me, would do this for me. My Lord, never leave me. Never let me be alone, wherever I turn, be there. Even if I do not see you, be there… for me, to love me, to die for me. What else will I ever need… but you.

‘Year of St Joseph’ Indulgences In the “Year of St Joseph,” which began on 8th December 2020

until the same feast in 2021, the Apostolic Penitentiary grants special indulgences “to perpetuate the entrustment of the whole Church to the powerful patronage of the Custodian of

Jesus.” The plenary indulgence is granted under the usual conditions:

If you pray for at least 30 minutes on the Lord’s Prayer, or take part in a Spiritual Retreat of at least one day that includes a meditation on St. Joseph.

Following St. Joseph’s example, if you perform a spiritual or corporal work of mercy.

If you entrust your daily activity to the protection of St.

Joseph, and if you invoke the intercession of St. Joseph so that those seeking work can find dignifying work.

If you recite the Litany to St. Joseph, or the Akathistos to St. Joseph, or any other prayer to St. Joseph proper to the other liturgical traditions, for the persecuted Church, and

for the relief of all Christians suffering all forms of persecution.

The recitation of the Holy Rosary in families and among

engaged couples, in order that “all Christian families may be stimulated to recreate the same atmosphere of intimate communion, love and prayer that was in the Holy Family.”

S ince God wanted to obey you [St. Joseph],

allow me to be in your service, to honour you and love you as my Lord and Master.

Saint Rose’s School in Stroud is seeking to raise £1.5 million to build Quentin House, a specially-adapted residential home-

from-home for some of its children. Saint Rose’s is unique within our diocese for the help it gives children and young people with complex physical and other needs to fulfil their potential and achieve their ambitions. Quentin House, named after Sister Quentin, the former long-serving, dedicated and inspirational headteacher, will help Saint Rose’s continue its mission. For more

information about this project and how to donate or fundraise please visit https://stroses.org.uk/quentin-house/ or contact the appeals office at the school (01453 763793 ext 225 or gail.mattocks@stroses.org.uk).

Ad te, beate

Ioseph

To you, O blessed Joseph, do we come in our

afflictions, and having implored the help of your most holy Spouse, we confidently invoke your patronage also.

Through that charity which bound you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the

paternal love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you graciously to regard the inheritance which Jesus Christ has purchased by his Blood, and with your power and strength to aid us

in our necessities. O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family,

defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ; O most loving father, ward off from us every contagion of error and corrupting influence; O our most mighty

protector, be kind to us and from heaven assist us in our struggle with the power of darkness.

As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, so now protect God’s Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity; shield,

too, each one of us by your constant protection, so that, supported by your example and your aid, we may be able to live piously, to die in holiness,

and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen.

The Year of Saint Joseph

The Memorare to St Joseph

Remember, O most pure spouse of the

Blessed Virgin Mary, my great protector, Saint Joseph, that no one ever had

recourse to your protection, or implored

your aid without obtaining relief. Confiding therefore in your goodness, I come before you. Do not turn down my petitions, foster

father of the Redeemer, but graciously receive them. Amen.

The Morning Offering

through St Joseph

Receive me, dear and chosen Father, and the offering of every

movement of my body and soul, which I desire to present through thee to my blessed Lord.

Purify all! Make all a perfect holocaust! May every pulsation of my heart be a Spiritual Communion, every look and thought an act of love, every action a sweet sacrifice,

every word an arrow of Divine love, every step an advance toward Jesus, every visit to Our Lord as

pleasing to God as the errands of Angels, every thought

of thee, dear Saint, an act to remind thee that I am thy child.

I recommend to thee the occasions in which I usually fail,

particularly . . . [Mention these]. Accept each little devotion of the day, though replete with imperfection, and offer it

to Jesus, Whose mercy will overlook all, since He

regards not so much the gift as the love of the giver.

Amen.

Prayer before work

to St Joseph the worker O Glorious Saint Joseph, model of all those who

are devoted to labour, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work

conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations; to work with thankfulness and joy, considering it an honour to

employ and develop by means of labour the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation, and patience, never shrinking from weariness and trials; to work above all with

purity of intention and detachment from self, keeping unceasingly before my eyes death and the account that I must give of time lost, talents

unused, good omitted, and vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God.

All for Jesus, all through Mary, all after thy example, O Patriarch, Saint Joseph. Such shall be my watch-word in life and in death. Amen.

(Composed by Pope St. Pius X)

℣. He made him the lord of His household, ℟. And prince over all His possessions.

Let Us Pray O God, Who in Thine ineffable Providence didst vouch-

safe to choose Blessed Joseph to be the spouse of Thy most holy Mother, grant, we beseech Thee, that he whom we venerate as our protector on earth may be

our intercessor in Heaven. Who lives and reigns forever and ever.

Amen.

Consecration to St Joseph O dearest St Joseph, I consecrate myself to

thy honour and give myself to thee, that thou mayest always be my father, my protector, and my guide in the way of salvation.

Obtain for me a great purity of heart and a fervent love of the interior life. After thine 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!

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

Amen.

A Triduo to St Joseph

by St John Henry Newman First day: Consider. He was the true and worthy Spouse of Mary,

supplying in a visible manner the place of Mary’s Invisible Spouse, the Holy Ghost. He was a virgin, and his virginity was the faithful mirror of the virginity of Mary. He was the Cherub, placed to guard the new

terrestrial Paradise from the intrusion of every foe. ℣. Blessed be the name of Joseph.

℟. Henceforth and forever. Amen. Let us pray. God, who in Thine ineffable Providence didst vouchsafe to choose

Blessed Joseph to be the husband of Thy most holy Mother, grant, we beseech Thee, that we may be made worthy to receive him for our intercessor in heaven, whom on earth we venerate as our holy

Protector: who livest and reignest world without end. Amen. Second day: Consider. His was the title of father of the Son of God,

because he was the Spouse of Mary, ever Virgin. He was our Lord’s father, because Jesus ever yielded to him the obedience of a son. He was our Lord’s father, because to him were entrusted, and by him

were faithfully fulfilled, the duties of a father, in protecting Him, giving Him a home, sustaining and rearing Him, and providing Him with a trade.

℣. Blessed be the name of Joseph. ℟. Henceforth and forever. Amen.

Let us pray. {prayer as on the First Day}

Third day: Consider. He is Holy Joseph, because according to the opinion of a great number of doctors, he, as well as St. John the Baptist, was sanctified even before he was born. He is Holy Joseph, because his office, of being spouse and protector of Mary, specially

demanded sanctity. He is Holy Joseph, because no other Saint but he lived in such and so long intimacy and familiarity with the source of all holiness, Jesus, God incarnate, and Mary, the holiest of creatures.

℣. Blessed be the name of Joseph. ℟. Henceforth and forever. Amen.

Let us pray. {prayer as on the First Day}
