Let us Pray.
O, God who didst make choice of holy St. Joseph, to be the spouse of the blessed Virgin Mary, the nurse and guardian of thy blessed Son Jesus, we humbly beseech thee to grant us, through his intercession, purity both of soul and body, that being free from all sin, and adorned with the wedding garment, we may be admitted to the nuptials of the Lamb in eternal glory, through the same Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
