Glorious St. Joseph,
model of all those who are devoted to labor,
obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously,
putting the call of duty above my many sins;
to work with thankfulness and joy,
considering it an honor to employ and develop,
by means of labor, the gifts received from God;
to work with order, peace, prudence and patience;
to work, above all, with purity of intention.
All for Jesus, all for Mary,
all after Your example,
O Patriarch Joseph.
Such shall be my motto in life and death.
