Prayer for the Rhode Island Men of St. Joseph    

O Blessed Joseph,

faithful guardian of the Redeemer, Jesus Christ,

protector of the Mother of our Lord,

we choose you this day

to be our patron and advocate.

As Men of St. Joseph, we humbly ask you

to receive us as your cause,

leading us to Jesus for instruction in doubt,

comfort in affliction,

strength in times of testing.

Obtain for us, and for all, the knowledge

and love of the Heart of Jesus Christ.

May men of good faith turn to you, Joseph.

May you defend and protect us and our families

as we grow more like Jesus by your example,

now, and all the days of our lives.

Amen
