Prayer (§303)

REMEMBER, most pure spouse of Mary ever Virgin, my loving protector, St Joseph, that never has it been heard that anyone ever invoked thy protection, or besought aid of thee, without being consoled. In this confidence I come before thee, I fervently recommend myself to thee. Despise not my prayer, foster father of our REDEEMER, but do thou in thy pity receive it. Amen.

GUARDIAN of virgins, and holy father Joseph, to whose faithful custody CHRIST JESUS Innocence itself, and Mary, Virgin of virgins, were committed; I pray and beseech thee, by these dear pledges, JESUS and Mary, that, being preserved from all uncleanness, I may with spotless mind, pure heart and chaste body, ever serve JESUS and Mary most chastely all the days of my life. Amen.
