The "Go to Joseph" Prayers invoke the intercession and protection of St. Joseph in three parts. It appeals to St. Joseph's roles as the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the foster father of Jesus, and the one entrusted with the care of the Son of God by the Eternal Father. Through these roles, the prayer pleads for St. Joseph's pity, refuge, and deliverance from misfortunes, afflictions, and the consequences of sin, seeking his powerful intercession through his great love for Mary, Jesus, and God.
"THE GO TO JOSEPH PRAYERS"
In the miseries of this vale of tears, to whom shall we have recourse, O blessed Joseph, if not to thee, to whom thy beloved spouse Mary entrusted all her rich treasures, that thou might keep them to our advantage?
“Go to my spouse, Joseph,” Mary seems to say to us, “and he will comfort you. He will deliver you from the misfortunes which now oppress you, and will make you happy and contented.”
Have pity on us, therefore, O St. Joseph; have pity on us through that love which thou didst cherish toward a spouse so worthy and amiable.
Our Father … Hail Mary … Glory Be …
II. We are fully conscious that we have offended the justice of God by our sins, and deserve His most severe chastisements. What shall be our place of refuge?
“Go to Joseph,” Jesus seems to say to us; “Go to Joseph, in whom I was well pleased, and whom I had for My foster father. To him, as to a father, I have communicated all power, that he may use it for your good according to his own desire.”
Pity us, therefore, O blessed Joseph, pity us for the great love thou didst bear toward a Son so admirable and so dear.
Our Father … Hail Mary … Glory Be …
III. Unhappily the sins we have committed call down upon the heaviest scourges: this we must confess. In what ark shall we take refuge in order to be saved? Where shall we find the blessed rainbow that shall give us comfort and hope in the midst of our afflictions?
“Go to Joseph,” the Eternal Father seems to say to us. “Go to him who took My place on earth with regard to My Son-made-man. I entrusted to his keeping My Son, Who is the unfailing source of grace.Therefore, every grace is in his hands.”
Pity us, then, dear St. Joseph, pity us by thy great love for Almighty God, Who has been so generous to thee.
Our Father … Hail Mary … Glory Be …
