ST JOSEPH’S TRIDUUM FOR GAINING SOME SPECIAL GRACE

Most loving spouse of Mary ever Virgin, and my dearest advocate, St Joseph, I humbly have recourse to thee through those seven most bitter sorrows which transfixed thy heart during the course of thy mortal life, and with tears in my eyes, I commend to thee this affair which I have so much at heart. Obtain for me, O great Saint, this ardently desired favour, in memory of the most affectionate care thou didst receive from Mary during the agony which preceded thy previous death. Present me before her throne of pity, and say to her: “Have pity, O Mary, on this poor creature, for the love which I bore to thee as my beloved Spouse.” Pater, Ave, and Gloria.
Most loving foster-father of Jesus, my Redeemer, I suppliantly fly to thee by the seven joys which overflowed thy heart, and I recommend to thee this affair which so occupies my thoughts. Obtain for me, O great Saint, this much desired favour, in memory of that wonderful consolation which Jesus gave thee during the last hours of thy life on earth. Present me before His most kind and generous throne, and say to Him: “Have pity, O Jesus, have pity on this poor creature, for the love which I bore to thee as my most dearly beloved Son.” Pater, Ave, and Gloria.
O most faithful guardian on earth of heavenly treasures, my most loving father and advocate, St Joseph, I have devout recourse to thee, through the riches and splendour of the high gifts and favours thou hast received in heaven. I recommend to thee with full and open heart this affair which is before me. Obtain for me, O great Saint and blessed father, this favour, which I implore in memory of the ineffable glory into which thou wast taken by the Blessed Trinity, as soon as heaven was opened to thee by Jesus. Present me before the most clement throne of God, and say: “O Blessed Trinity, pity this poor creature, for the humble reverence and love I bore thee on earth, and for this most sublime degree of glory with which it has pleased thee to honour me in heaven. Pater, Ave, and Gloria – From: St Anthony’s Treasury, Laverty and Sons, Leeds, 1922
