St. Joseph—Adorer of Jesus

Patron of the Universal Church

Feast Day, March 19 

“The Blessed Sacrament and St. Joseph. Behold our hope in these perilous times!” (Bishop Pichenot) 

O my beloved St. Joseph, adopt me as thy child, take care of my salvation, watch over me day and night, preserve me from the occasion of sin, obtain for me purity of soul and body! Through thy intercession with Jesus grant me a spirit of sacrifice, of humility and self-denial, a burning love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, and a sweet tender love for Mary, my Mother.

          St. Joseph, be with me living, be with me dying, and obtain for me a favorable judgement from Jesus, my merciful Savior. Amen.

 “Aside from the Blessed Virgin, Saint Joseph was the first and most perfect adorer of our Lord.” “Among the graces which Jesus have to His foster-father—and He flooded him with graces attached to every one of His mysteries—is that special to an adorer of the Blessed Sacrament. That is the one we must ask of Saint Joseph. Have confidence, strong confidence in him. Take him as the patron and model of your life of adoration.” “Saint Joseph, first and most perfect of adorers, obtain for me the grace to love, adore, and serve Christ Eucharistic as you did.” (St. Peter Julian Eymard)
