The Sign of the Cross:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
2. The Our Father: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen
3. The Hail Mary: Hail Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
4. The Apostles’ Creed: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day, He rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen

10. Ending Prayer:
Oh, God on High, who did create St. Joseph to be a model of fatherhood, spouse, model of workers, and protector of virgins, look kindly on those who have a special devotion to the Most Chaste and Humble Heart of St. Joseph, that they may receive the help, protection, and graces that they ask for, for we know from Church teaching that you did look favorably upon St. Joseph and His Most Chaste and Humble Heart, for you prepared him to be the spouse of the Holy Virgin and foster father of Your only begotten Son Jesus Christ. You who also did increase in his heart certain graces such as reasoning, virginity, charity, poverty, and sympathy for the dying, who made his heart so similar to the hearts of Jesus and Mary, look with love on the Most Chaste and Humble Heart of St. Joseph and grant to him who loved and served your only begotten Son so faithfully, his request that he makes on our behalf. He desires us to be charitable and to defend us from the evil one. Let him be charitable, especially to poor sinners, and help us in our needs and trials. And in the sweet name of Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, grant us the graces to serve God, and as an act of love and refuge, hide us in the heart of St. Joseph where we will be protected from the dark and stormy night. Let the heart of St. Joseph shine forth as a pillar for the Church, to strengthen it and to give it the light of Christ. And let the heart of St. Joseph which is filled with the love and mercy of God be given to every sinner, including me. In the name of Jesus Christ, My Savior and the only Son of God, I pray and ask this. Oh Most Chaste and Humble Heart of St. Joseph, I love and trust in thee. Amen
