Prayer to Saint Joseph, Protector of the Church

St. Joseph, husband of Mary and foster father of Jesus,
you have been charged with the protection of the universal Church
so that you might care for all the children of the Kingdom
in the same way you lovingly cared for the members of the Holy Family.

From heaven, where you now live with Jesus and Mary,
Guide and protect the people of God walking toward fullness of life.
Bring together from the four corners of the world all your children
so that they may live in one Spirit. Lead all Christians to unity in the same faith.

Obtain for the Holy Father, for all our bishops, and for all the faithful,
who with them, form the Church community, the graces of
enlightenment and strength so that all may live in the teaching
of Jesus Christ.

Amen.
