We address you, Oh blessed Saint Joseph, our protector on earth, as one who knows the value of work and the response to our call. Through your Holy Spouse, the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and knowing the fatherly love you had for our Lord Jesus, we ask you to assist us in our needs and strengthen us in our work.
By the promise of carrying out our daily tasks with dignity, free us from falling into sin, from greed, from a corrupt heart. Be the caring guardian of our work, our defender and strength against injustice and error.
We follow your example and seek your help. Help us in all our efforts, so that we may obtain eternal rest with you in Heaven. Amen.
