St. Joseph Protector of Homes

St. Joseph Protector of Homes

May 1st is dedicated to St. Joseph the worker. While laboring as a carpenter, he was also protecting the Child Jesus and the Blessed Mother. Now an ancient prayer for his protection has been translated into English. It is suggested for any feast day of St. Joseph or any day.

St. Joseph Protector of Homes

“St. Joseph,
Please protect our home. Pour forth Heaven’s
blessings on our family.
Remain in our midst. Help us to live in love
and harmony, in peace and joy.
May the wholesome fear of God strengthen
us that virtue may adorn what we do and
our way may lead to Heaven.

To you this day I give the key to our dwelling
place. Lock out all things that could do us harm.
Lock my home and my loved ones with me
in the hearts of Jesus and Mary.
This I beg of you that our days may be like
your days in the Holy Home of Nazareth.
Amen.”
