St. Joseph Angelus
The St. Joseph Angelus
Leader The angel of the Lord said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home…
All … for it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.” Blessed Saint Joseph, husband of Mary, come to my aid, especially in times of anguish and difficulty.
Leader “She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus…
All …because he will save his people from their sins.” Blessed Saint Joseph, husband of Mary, come to my aid, especially in times of anguish and difficulty.
Leader “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son…
All … and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means ‘God with us.’” Blessed Saint Joseph, husband of Mary, come to my aid, especially in times of anguish and difficulty.
(Conclude with Grace if prayed before a meal or with the following:)
Leader: Let us pray. All: Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord, your grace into our hearts; that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ, your Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by his Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of his Resurrection through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
