In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Come to my aid, O God.
O Lord, make haste to help me.
Almighty God, Father of mercies and giver of all good gifts,
I come before you to honour you in your saints
and ask their help in my many needs.
You promised those who ask, would receive;
those who seek, would find;
those who knock, would have doors opened to them.
Hear the prayers of your church,
grant my requests, and pardon my sins.
Amen.
St. Joseph,
just and true, with a father’s care
you raised the Child Jesus, and with a husband’s love
you shared your life with Mary, his mother.
I entrust myself to your care and place in your hands these requests of mine.
Dear St. Joseph, wrap your holy cloak of protection around God Squad Canada, our speakers, volunteers and family; we ask for your prayers and guidance so that we may obtain the funds necessary to undertake the work God Squad has been called to complete. Send the Holy Spirit to open the hearts of the men we want to reach, and open your Church to embrace them.
In quiet Nazareth long ago, the Holy Spirit spoke to your heart
and you followed God’s will with wonderful faith.
In the quiet of my days, and in the hard choices I must make,
help me follow the Spirit’s guidance
and believe when I cannot see.
O God, guide of those who listen and helper of those who hear your voice, speak to me, as you did to St. Joseph, and help me accomplish the things you give me to do.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
"I wish I could persuade everyone to be devoted to the glorious St Joseph, for I have great experience of the blessings which he can obtain from God. I do not remember that I have ever asked anything of him which he has failed to grant. I am astonished at the great favours which God has bestowed on me through this blessed saint, and at the perils from which he has delivered me, both in body and in soul."
St. Teresa of Avila
