LITANY OF ST. JOSEPH

LITANY OF ST. JOSEPH


Lord, have mercy;
Christ have mercy!
Christ, hear us;
Christ, graciously hear us!

God, the Father of Heaven
( have mercy on us )
God, the Son, Redeemer of the world,
God, the Holy Spirit,
Holy Trinity, One God,

Holy Mary
( pray for us )
Saint Joseph
Renouwned descendant of David,
Light of patriarchs,
Husband of the Mother of God,
Chaste guardian of the Virgin,
Foster father of the Son of God,
Watchful protector of Christ,
Head of the Holy Family,

Joseph most just,
Joseph most prudent,
Joseph most strong,
Joseph most obedient,
Joseph most faithful,

Mirror of patience,
Lover of poverty,
Model of workmen,
Glory of home life,
Guardian of virgins,
Protector of families,
Comfort of the distressed,
Hope of the sick,
Patron of the dying,
Terror of demons,
Protector of Holy Church,

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world;

spare us O Lord !

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world;
graciously hear us O Lord !
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world;
have mercy on us O Lord !

V. He made him lord of his house.
R. And prince of all his possessions.

Prayer

O God, elect Blessed Joseph
spouse of Thy most holy Mother: grant, we
beseech You, that we may have him whom we venerate
as our protector on earth as our intercessor in heaven.
You Who lives and reigns the world without end. Amen.
