your honor and give myself to you,

that you may always be my father,

my protector and my guide in the way of salvation.
Obtain for me a greater purity of heart and

fervent love of the interior life.
After your example may I do all my actions

for the greater glory of God,

in union with the Divine Heart of Jesus and

the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
  O Blessed St. Joseph, pray for me,

that I may share in the peace and joy of your holy death.

Amen.
