Prayer to St. Joseph, Hope of the Sick

Benevolent St. Joseph, the Son of God placed his life in your hands.
   With Mary, you cared for Him who is the force of life.
       May your compassion enfold our fragility, bringing us the comfort
                 of the Divine Presence.

   We join with you in prayer, saying :
      " Lord, Jesus, Son of the Living God, say a word for our healing "
  
Make us sensitive to the illnesses of those close to us, support our efforts and grant us
    courage in the fight against all evil.
Help us to find meaning in God's great project for humanity beyond the sicknesses and
    sufferings that blind our sight.

 
  May the love of God be with us, as our hope lies with Him !
        Amen

   St. Joseph, hope of the sick, pray for us and obtain for us our request !
