Novena to St. Joseph, Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Day 4
Dear Family of Mary!
Today is Day 4 of our Novena to St. Joseph! Today we are going to ask for blessing. Our Lady has told us she wants to bless us. She wants to give us the blessing she has for us from God:
June 25, 1987 “Dear children! Today I thank you and I want to invite you all to God’s peace. I want each one of you to experience in your heart that peace which God gives. I want to bless you all today. I am blessing you with God’s blessing and I beseech you, dear children, to follow and to live my way. I love you, dear children, and so not even counting the number of times, I go on calling you and I thank you for all that you are doing for my intentions. I beg you, help me to present you to God and to save you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
What a beautiful message of blessing from Our Lady. She blesses us with God’s blessing. And she calls us to “live my way!” Her way is of course, holiness. She wants to “present you to God and to save you!”
St. Joseph wants to bless us as well, and to save us. He is a father! Here is a prayer asking for the blessing of St. Joseph which is think expresses the same sentiments as Our Lady’s message. We need the blessing of Holy Mary and the blessing of St. Joseph so much! We need all the graces they can provide for us in these difficult days.
Petitions for St. Joseph’s Blessing
Bless me, O dearly beloved Father, St. Joseph, bless my body and my soul; bless my resolutions, my words and deeds, all my actions and omissions, my every step; bless all that I possess, all my interior and exterior goods, that all may redound to the greater honor of God. Bless me for time and eternity and preserve me from every sin. Obtain for me the grace to make atonement for all my sins by love and contrition here on earth, so that after my last breath I may, without delay, prostrate at your feet, return thee thanks in Heaven for all the love and goodness thou, O dearest father, hast shown me here below. Amen.

(Now pray the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be 3 times, in thanksgiving to God for the graces and prerogatives bestowed on St. Joseph.)
The prayer to St. Joseph, for the Mary TV Family:
Remember, O most chaste spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who implored your help or sought your intercession was left unaided. Filled with confidence we implore you, O faithful St. Joseph: help us now in our turn not to leave the side of Mary, our Mother, Queen of Peace of Medjugorje, Queen of Divine Mercy.
Help us St. Joseph, to be like you, faithful to her in everything. Help us respond to her call. St. Joseph, Foster Father of us all, hear us and answer us. Amen.
Help us St. Joseph, to be like you, faithful to her in everything. Help us respond to her call. St. Joseph, Foster Father of us all, hear us and answer us. Amen.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
