Prayer for Peace
"Lord Jesus Christ, Who saidst to Thy Apostles, Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you; look not upon my sins, but upon the faith of Thy Church; and vouchsafe to grant her peace and unity according to Thy will: Who livest and reignest God for ever and ever. Amen."
Prayer to St. Joseph in Time of Need
To thee, O blessed Joseph, do we fly in our tribulation, and having implored
the help of thy most holy Spouse, we confidently invoke thy patronage
also. Through that charity which bound thee to the Immaculate Virgin Mother
of God, and through the paternal love with which you embraced the Child
Jesus, we humbly beseech thee graciously to regard the inheritance which
Jesus Christ has purchased by His Blood, and with thy 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 propitious
to us and from heaven assist us in this our struggle with the power of
darkness; and, as once thou 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 thy constant protection, so that,
supported by thy example and your aid, we may be able to live piously, to
die holily, and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen
