Collect
O God, who in thine ineffable providence vouchsafed to choose blessed Joseph as the spouse of thy holy Mother: grant, we beseech thee; that we may be worthy to have him as our intercessor in heaven, whom we venerate as our protector here upon earth. Who with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit livest and reignest God, world without end.
℟.Amen.
