Day 9
Go to Joseph
The line the Church borrows for him is what Pharaoh said of the other Joseph in a famine: go to Joseph, and do whatever he tells you.
It is the plainest instruction attached to any devotion. Nine days of asking ends by going and doing the next practical thing, which is what he would have said if he said anything.
Begin
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
Today’s petition
St. Joseph, I am going to go and do the next practical thing. Come with me.
Add your own intention here, in your own words. It is not stored anywhere.
Close
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
That closes it. Nothing about these 9 days is kept: your place is cleared and there is no record of what you asked for.
