Concluding Prayers#
Oratio ad Finem Rosarii Dicenda#
O blessed Joseph, yours the praise the choirs of angels sing, the guardian of the Virgin blest, and of her Child and King. The prophets told of God to come: the Son of God on earth; yours was the glory then to be there at the Savior’s birth. To Him, the Father’s only Son, you served as father here; He was subjected to your will, He, whom the heavens revere. As once you sought and found again the Christ, the Lord of Light; so may we walk with Him, like you, all humble in His sight. O Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the God of truth and grace, by holy Joseph’s prayers grant that we may see Your face.
Pray for us O Blessed Joseph. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Almighty and eternal God, grant, we beseech Thee, that by meditating upon the mysteries of the Rosary of Saint Joseph, we may imitate his prayerful trust, and faithfully carry out Your holy will, despite difficulties, uncertainties, and fears. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
