depositary of the most precious of all treasures, take under thy charitable conduct the affair which we recommend to thee. May its issue be for the glory of God and the benefit of our souls. Amen.
Three Pater and three Ave, with three Gloria Patri and three times Holy Joseph, pray for us.
JESUS, Mary, and Joseph, I offer you my heart and soul. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, assist me in my last agony. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, grant that I may expire in your holy company.
AVE JOSEPH.
HAIL, Joseph, favored with grace, Jesus and Mary are with thee ; blessed art thou among men, and blessed is Jesus, the Son of thy Spouse.
Holy Joseph, nursing father of Jesus, and spouse of the immaculate Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
ASPIRATIONS TO ST. JOSEPH FOR EVERY DAY IN THE WEEK.
An indulgence of three hundred days was granted by His Holiness, Pius VII., April 28, 1807, for repeating these Aspirations.
Three Glorias should be added to each Aspiration.
Sunday. My dear St. Joseph, I beseech thee to obtain for me a contrite and humble heart, and great purity of soul and body.
Monday. Most glorious St. Joseph, pray for me, that I may accomplish the will of God all the days of my life.
Tuesday. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! sweet objects of my love, in you, for you, with you, may I live, suffer, and die.
