Activity 2: Prayer
St. Joseph, Protector of Holy Church, Pray for us.
Pope Pius IX proclaimed St. Joseph ‘Patron of the Catholic Church’ on 8th December 1870, Feast of the
Immaculate Conception of Our Lady, his spouse. The Litany of St. Joseph invokes him under the title
‘Protector of Holy Church’. As a family, pray the prayer to St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church,
imploring St. Joseph’s powerful protection.
Prayer to St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church
Composed by Pope Leo XIII
Most powerful patriarch St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, which has always invoked thee in
anxiety and trouble, from the exalted seat of thy glory cast a loving glance upon the whole Catholic
world. Let thy fatherly heart be touched at the sight of the mystical spouse and the Vicar of Christ
overwhelmed with sorrow and persecuted by powerful enemies.
Oh! by the bitter anguish thou didst experience upon earth, dry the tears of the venerable Pontiff,
defend him, liberate him, intercede for him with the Giver of peace and charity, that, all adversity being
removed, and all error dissipated, the entire Church may serve God in perfect liberty: Ut destructis
adversitatibus et erroribus universis Ecclesia secura Deo serviat libertate. Amen.
