Novena Prayer to St. Joseph:

"Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the
throne of God. I place in you all my interest and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do
assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your Divine
Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having
engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage
to the most loving of Fathers. Oh. St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating
you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near
your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to
return the kiss when I draw my last breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing
souls - Pray for me. Amen."

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
into battle. Whoever shall read this prayer or hear it or keep it about
themselves, shall never die a sudden death, or be drowned, nor shall poison
take effect on them; neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy, or
shall be burned in any fire or shall be overpowered in battle.

Say for nine mornings for anything you may desire. It has never been known to
fail, so be sure you really want what you ask. Smile
