Prayers of Saint Joseph
A safe shoulder
To Joseph, the righteous man, God entrusted his holy family . Because his shoulder was safe, he made him the companion of the mother of God and the protector of his Son. To Joseph the carpenter, God entrusted the messiah who was to be born of the descendants of David.
The Church made the silent Joseph, not a single sentence of whom was reported in the Gospels, the protector of its growth. In the humble craftsman of Nazareth, it recognized its greatest saint with Mary.
Joseph is a descendant of King David.
The Catholic Church celebrates Saint Joseph on March 19 , his feast is prepared by a novena .
The entire month of March is dedicated to Saint Joseph.

The patron saint of families is invoked to solve all the various family problems: couple crisis, difficulty in having a child, education of children, and any difficult cause .
Joseph is the patron saint of workers, he intercedes for all artisans .
“ I greet you Joseph,
you whom divine grace has filled.
The Savior rested in your arms and grew before your eyes.
You are blessed among all men and Jesus,
the divine Child of your virginal wife is blessed.
Saint Joseph, given as father to the Son of God,
pray for us in our family worries,
health and work,
until our last days,
and deign to help us at the hour of our death.
Amen. »
