"Holy Saint Joseph, who art that good and faithful servant to whom God committed the care of His Family; whom He appointed guardian and protector of the life of Jesus Christ, the comfort and support of His Holy Mother, and co-partner in His great design of the redemption of mankind; thou who had the happiness of living with Jesus and Mary, and of dying in their arms; chaste spouse of the Mother of God; model and patron of pure souls; humble, patient and reserved! Be moved by the confidence we place in thy intercession, and accept with kindness this testimony of our devotion.We give thanks to God for the signal favors He hath been pleased to confer on thee; and we beseech Him, by thy intercession, to make us imitate thy virtues. Pray for us, O great saint! And by that love which thou had for Jesus and Mary, and by the love which Jesus and Mary had for thee, obtain for us ----, and the incomparable happiness of living and dying in the love of Jesus and Mary. Amen."
If you start on 3/11 the Novena will end on his feast day of 3/19.
