Prayer to St. Joseph said during Mass: Glorious
Patriarch Saint Joseph, whose power makes the impossible possible, come
to my aid in these times of anguish and difficulty. Take under your
protection the serious and troubling situations that I commend to you,
that they may have a happy outcome (here state your request) My beloved
father, all my trust is in you. Let it not be said that I invoked you in
vain, and since you can do everything with Jesus and Mary, show me that
your goodness is as great as a power. Amen.
