prayer to St. Josepb.

(Father von Cochem.)

In this my illness and need, I fly to thee, O most faithful foster-father of Christ, St. Joseph, and confidently invoke thy assistance. Thou art appointed by God to be the special patron of the dying, and as such thou art honored by every pious soul. Therefore I also venerate thee as my advocate and recommend to thee my perilous passage out of this world. O dear St. Joseph, under thy care take my poor soul and my last hour. I beseech thee through thy great love for Jesus and Mary, and through all the joys and sorrows thou didst share with them, let my great necessity move thy heart and fill it with compassion for me, thy poor client. Protect me against the evil one and strengthen me in my grievous temptations. Cheer me in my despondency, strengthen me with consolation, that I may not despair. As Jesus and Mary did faithfully assist thee in thy death, sweetly consoling and encouraging thee, so mayest thou with Jesus and Mary faithfully assist, console and support my anguished soul. Into thy holy hands, into thy loving arms, on which thou didst so frequently bear the dear little Jesus, do I recommend my sinful soul, imploring thee to receive it into thy holy hands and embrace it with thy loving arms. Amen.
