1) Pri\u00e8re du pape L\u00e9on XIII – “Nous recourons \u00e0 vous dans notre tribulation”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We<\/span> re<\/span>run to you in our tribulation, O blessed Joseph, and, after imploring the help of your most holy<\/span> wife, we also confidently ask for your patronage.

Par l’affection qui vous a uni \u00e0 la Vierge immacul\u00e9e, M\u00e8re de Dieu ; par l’amour paternel dont vous avez entour\u00e9 l’Enfant J\u00e9sus, nous vous supplions de regarder avec bont\u00e9 l’h\u00e9ritage que J\u00e9sus-Christ a conquis au prix de son sang, et de nous assister de votre puissance et de votre secours dans nos besoins.

Prot\u00e9gez, \u00d4 tr\u00e8s sage gardien de la divine Famille, la race \u00e9lue de J\u00e9sus-Christ ; Pr\u00e9servez-nous, \u00f4 P\u00e8re tr\u00e8s aimant, de toute souillure d’erreur et de corruption ; soyez-nous favorable, \u00f4 notre tr\u00e8s puissant lib\u00e9rateur.

Du haut du ciel assistez-nous dans le combat que nous livrons \u00e0 la puissance des t\u00e9n\u00e8bres ; et, de m\u00eame que vous avez arrach\u00e9 autrefois l’Enfant J\u00e9sus au p\u00e9ril de la mort, d\u00e9fendez aujourd’hui la sainte Eglise de Dieu des emb\u00fbches de l’ennemi et de toute adversit\u00e9.

Cover each and every one of us with your perpetual protection, so that, sustained by your help, we may live holy, die piously and obtain eternal bliss in Heaven.

So be it.<\/span>

2) Pope St. Pius X's prayer to St. Joseph, model of workers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glorious Saint Joseph, model of all those who are dedicated to work, obtain for me the grace\u00a0
– de travailler en esprit de p\u00e9nitence pour l’expiation de mes nombreux p\u00e9ch\u00e9s;\u00a0
- to work conscientiously, putting the cult of duty above my inclinations;\u00a0
- to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop through work the gifts received from God;\u00a0
- to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, never backing down in the face of weariness and difficulty;\u00a0
– de travailler surtout avec puret\u00e9 d’intention et avec d\u00e9tachement de moi-m\u00eame ayant sans cesse devant les yeux la mort et le compte que je devrai rendre du temps perdu, des talents inutilis\u00e9s, du bien omis et des vaines complaisances dans le succ\u00e8s, si funestes \u00e0 l’oeuvre de Dieu.\u00a0

All for Jesus, all for Mary, all in imitation of you, patriarch Saint Joseph!\u00a0

That's my motto for life and death.\u00a0
So be it.<\/span>

3) Pope Pius XII's prayer to Saint Joseph the craftsman<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1955, Pius XII instituted the Feast of St. Joseph the Craftsman, to be celebrated on May 1 each year.

O glorious Patriarch Saint Joseph, humble and just artisan of Nazareth, who gave to all Christians, but especially to us, the example of a perfect life in constant work and in admirable union with Mary and Jesus, assist us in our daily task, so that we too, Catholic artisans, may find in it the effective means to glorify the Lord, to sanctify ourselves and to be useful to the society in which we live, the supreme ideals of all our actions.

Obtain for us from the Lord, O our most beloved protector, humility and simplicity of heart, a taste for work and benevolence towards those who are our fellow laborers, conformity to the divine will in the inevitable sorrows of this life and joy in bearing them, awareness of our particular social mission, and a sense of our responsibility, a spirit of discipline and prayer, docility and respect towards our superiors, brotherhood towards equals, charity and indulgence for our subordinates. Be with us in our moments of prosperity, when everything invites us to honestly taste the fruits of our labors; but sustain us in the hours of sadness, when heaven seems to close in on us and the very instruments of labor seem to rebel in our hands.

Grant that, following your example, we may keep our eyes fixed on Mother Mary, your most gentle wife, who, in a corner of your modest workshop, spun silently, letting the most gracious smile wander across her lips; grant also that we may not take our eyes off Jesus, who toiled at your carpenter's bench, so that we may thus lead a peaceful and holy life on earth, a prelude to the eternally happy one that awaits us in heaven, for ever and ever.\u00a0

So be it.<\/span>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Prayer to Saint Joseph by Saint Fran\u00e7ois de Sales<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gl<\/span>orious Saint Joseph, husband of Mary, grant us your paternal protection, we beseech you through Jesus Christ. O you whose power extends to all our needs and knows\u00a0MAKE THE MOST DIFFICULT THINGS POSSIBLE<\/strong>\u00a0IMPOSSIBLE<\/strong>,\u00a0take<\/strong>\u00a0paternally the interests of your children: we turn to you with confidence. Grant that, under your paternal guidance, all our concerns may turn to the glory of God and the good of his devoted servants.\u00a0

So be it<\/span>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5). Prayers to Saint Joseph by St Alphonsus de Liguori<\/strong> <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My holy Patriarch, I beg you, in the name of the sorrows you experienced when you saw the divine Word born in a stable, in such a state of poverty, without fire, without linen, and when you heard him weep through the suffering caused by the rigors of the cold; I beg you, I say, to obtain for me true sorrow for my sins, by which I was the cause of the tears shed by Jesus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, in the name of the consolation you felt when, for the first time, you saw Jesus as an infant, born in a manger, so beautiful, so gracious, so that from that moment your heart began to burn with a more ardent love for this lovable and beloved child, obtain for me the grace to love him with a great love on earth too, so that one day I may be admitted to possess him in heaven.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you, O Mary, mother of God and my mother, recommend me to your son, and obtain for me forgiveness for all the offenses I have committed against him, and the grace not to offend him again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you, my beloved Jesus, forgive me for the love of Mary and Joseph, and grant me the grace to be able one day to see you in heaven, to praise you there, and to love your divine beauty, and your goodness that made you a child for the love of me. I love you, infinite beauty.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love you, my Jesus. I love you, my God, my love, my all.<\/span>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 ) Cantique of Saint Teresa of Avila<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph, your admirable life
Se passa dans l’humilit\u00e9\u00a0;\u00a0
But of Jesus and Mary,\u00a0
You were contemplating beauty!\u00a0

Joseph, O tender Father,\u00a0
Protect Carmel!\u00a0
That your children, on this earth,\u00a0
Taste the peace of heaven.\u00a0

The Son of God, in his infancy,\u00a0
Plus d’une fois, avec bonheur,\u00a0
Subject to your obedience,\u00a0
S’est repos\u00e9 sur votre c\u0153ur\u00a0!\u00a0

Like you, in solitude,\u00a0
We serve Mary and Jesus;\u00a0
Pleasing them is our only study;\u00a0
We want nothing more.\u00a0<\/span>

Saint Theresa, our Mother,\u00a0
She always confided in you;\u00a0
She assures us that her prayer,\u00a0
Vous l’exauciez d’un prompt secours.\u00a0

Quand l’\u00e9preuve sera finie,\u00a0
We have the sweet hope
Close to the divine Mary,\u00a0
Saint Joseph, we'll come and see you.\u00a0

Bless you, tender Father,\u00a0
Our little Carmel ;\u00a0
Apr\u00e8s l’exil de cette terre
Bring us together in heaven.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":2101,"template":"","class_list":["post-2100","prieres","type-prieres","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/salve-corda.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prieres\/2100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/salve-corda.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prieres"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/salve-corda.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/prieres"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/salve-corda.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prieres\/2100\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2102,"href":"https:\/\/salve-corda.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prieres\/2100\/revisions\/2102"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/salve-corda.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/salve-corda.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
