Blessed be the Divine Providence of God, who in this age of trials has appointed the great St. Joseph Patron of the Universal Church.
Infinite praise, honor, glory and thanksgiving, at every moment, from every creature, and for all eternity, be to Jesus,
who is ever with His Church, and protects her in every trial and in every necessity.
Foster-father Joseph, our guide, protect us and holy Church.
O most holy Patriarch St. Joseph! ever protect the holy Church of Jesus; humble her enemies, confound their wisdom, and defeat their plots.
O great St. Joseph! obtain from Jesus, for His Church, holy Popes, holy prelates, holy priests, and holy religious. Amen.
