In this hour of need and peril God sends a valiant captain to fight the battle of the Church: God sends a new Angel to breathe upon the face of the foe and to scatter them. The Captain and the Angel is St. Joseph.

-- Very Rev. Archdeacon Thomas Kinane (St. Joseph : his life, his virtues, his privileges, his power : a month of March in his honour)


Prayer to St. Joseph Patron and Protector of the Universal Church

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.

Very Rev. Archdeacon Thomas Kinane
