Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,  Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you God entrusted his only Son;
in you Mary placed her trust;  with you Christ became man.

Blessed Joseph, to us too,  show yourself a father
and guide us in the path of life.  Obtain for us grace, mercy, and courage,
and defend us from every evil.  Amen. 

 (PRayer to St. Jospeh that Pope Francis prays each morning and encourages all to pray)
