As the earthly father of Jesus and the spouse of the Blessed Mother, St. Joseph is a powerful intercessor for those of us here on earth.
This full-color paper prayer card comes in packs of 100 so you can spread devotion to this holy saint.

The back of the prayer card contains the text of the Novena to St. Joseph that dates back to the year 50 AD.
This ancient prayer is often used to ask for a peaceful death or for a specific intention close to your heart. This prayer has seldom been known to fail.
On the back:
Oh St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires.
Oh St. Joseph do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that having engaged here below your Heavenly power I may offer my Thanksgiving and homage to the most Loving of Fathers.
Oh St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while He reposes in your arms. Press him in my name and kiss His fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath.
St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen
