Lord Jesus Christ, by your ineffable providence you chose Saint Joseph to be the spouse of your most holy Mother: grant, we beseech you, that we may have him for an intercessor in heaven, as we venerate him as our protector on earth. You who live and reign forever and ever. R: Amen.


At the conclusion of the Litany, the celebrant may light candles or place a bouquet of white lilies in front of an image or statue of Saint Joseph.


Celebrant: Let us now conclude the consecration with the prayer that Pope Francis has promulgated for the Year of Saint Joseph:

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.
