MEMORARE PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH

A great way to prepare ourselves for the Solemnity of St. Joseph on March 19 is to learn this beautiful prayer and say it devoutly asking St. Joseph’s help not only for our personal intentions, but also for all the fathers in the world, for the holiness and fidelity of all the priests, and abundant vocations to priesthood, religious life and apostolic celibacy.

Remember, O most chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who implored your help
and sought your intercession were left unassisted.
Full of confidence in your power I fly unto you and beg your protection.
Despise not O Guardian of the Redeemer my humble supplication, but in your bounty, hear and answer me. Amen.
