To Saint Joseph to obtain devotion to Jesus Crucified

Saint Joseph did not witness the infinite sufferings of Jesus during His Passion and death on the Cross. But Saint Joseph knew that Jesus had come to earth to redeem men at the price of His Blood. All his life, Saint Joseph meditated on the future sufferings of his divine Son.

Prayer of Leo XIII to Saint Joseph for the Needs of the Holy Church

Saint Joseph fulfilled his role as father, protector and provider of the Holy Family to perfection. All his attention was constantly focused on Jesus. The Church is the continuation of Christ on earth. Saint Joseph is therefore the Father, Patron, Protector of the Holy Church.

Saint Joseph

Saint Joseph perfectly fulfilled his role as putative Father of the Child God and he watched over the Blessed Virgin Mary with such diligence. He is our great protector and his power does not disappoint those who confide in him.

To Saint John the Baptist, Precursor of the Savior

Preparatory Prayer

O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
