Third Sunday after Easter.
-
Most glorious St. Joseph, by the exalted privilege which you possessed of being the spouse of the Mother of God, and of having over her Son, our Saviour, the rights and authority of a father: intercede with them, we pray you, that we may esteem nothing in this world but the grace of Jesus and the protection of Mary, and thus make ourselves worthy of your and their company in heaven. Gloria.
-
O most loving patriarch, by that inestimable title of just man which you received from the divine oracles: obtain for us the grace to live justly before God, seeking only His glory; justly with our neighbours, loving all men as brethren; and justly towards ourselves, aiming only at our own sanctification. Gloria.
-
O most happy patriarch! by that inexpressible happiness which you enjoyed at the end of your life, of sweetly yielding up your soul amidst the chaste embraces of Jesus and Mary: obtain for us a similar grace, that, being consoled at the hour of death by the most Holy Sacraments, our last words may be, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, to you I recommend my soul. Gloria.
