PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH, TERROR OF DEMONS, PROTECTOR OF THE CHRISTIAN FAMILY
(Catholic handbook of prayers for spiritual liberation and exorcisms)
This prayer is recommended for all kinds of diseases. Also to keep away the demon of impurity and of temptations against chastity. Many other evil spirits disdain this prayer, especially those that cause discord among married couples and families. It can also be prayed for those members of the family who have gone astray from the true faith or right morals.
~We turn to you in our tribulation,
O Blessed Father Joseph, and after having implored the help of your Holy Bride, we likewise solicit your patronage with confidence. By the affection that has united you to the Immaculate Virgin, Mother of our God, and by the paternal love with which you have surrounded the Infant Jesus, we beg you to look with kindness at the inheritance that Jesus Christ has won at the price of His Blood, and to assist us in our needs.
Protect, O most wise guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen race of Jesus Christ. Preserve us, O loving Father, from all taint of error and corruption; be favorable to us, O our very powerful liberator. From heaven, protect us in the fight we deliver against the power of darkness.
And just as you once snatched the Infant Jesus from the peril of death, today defend the holy Church of God against the pitfalls of the enemy and all adversity. Cover each of us with your perpetual protection, so that, by your example, and supported by your help, we may live holy and virtuous lives.
Grant us that we may have a holy and peaceful death, and be able to reach eternal bliss in the Kingdom of God. Protect all the members of my family,
(especially N.). To you, I entrust them all that they may be saved from their present sorrow and from eternal ruin. Amen.
