Guide on the Chaplet of Saint Joseph.
(To be recited on the first Wednesday of each month)
The Chaplet to Saint Joseph comprises seven mysteries, inviting us to reflect on the seven sorrows and joys that Saint Joseph encountered during his earthly life. In a communication to Edson Glauber from Itapiranga, Brazil, Saint Joseph emphasized the significant importance and potent efficacy of this chaplet:
“Tell your brothers to pray the chaplet of my seven sorrows and seven joys because I wish to be their intercessor in their greatest difficulties. If you only knew how many graces God allows me to give you, you would not close your hearts and you would never stop praying this chaplet, so powerful.”
(St. Joseph 12/5/2007 Palermo, Franciacorta, Italy.)
“The chaplet of the seven sorrows and seven joys of St. Joseph has to be recited with the prayer “Hail Joseph”, so that we will benefit through his intercession, invoking his most holy and powerful name, a name that makes all of hell tremble, and the demons flee.”
(Jesus to Edson, 11/27/1997 Itapiranga, Brasil)
How to pray the St. Joseph Chaplet
For each mystery we pray: one Our Father, ten Hail Josephs, and one Glory be.
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
We honor you Saint Joseph and your Most Chaste Heart, chosen by God the Father, to be the foster-father of Jesus and the Protector of the Holy Church.
Hail Joseph, Son of David, the just and the chaste, wisdom is with you; Blessed are you among all men and blessed is Jesus,the fruit of Mary, your faithful spouse.
