You are invited to participate in the world Rosary prayer and October devotion, in honour of our Lady of the Rosary which will begin on October 1st to 31st. The target for this year is to collectively say at least one million decades of the Rosary.

All Catholics; familes, groups, marian societies, parishes and dioceses are admonished and encouraged to join in this prayer. You can say as many decades of the Holy Rosary each day, but a minimum of five (5) decades of the Holy Rosary should be said daily. Intentions and prayer points for each day can be found in the prayer page and prayer manual.

Blessed Pope Piux IX said: “If I had an army to say the Rosary, I could conquer the world.” Kindly join in this Rosary prayer because, through it, we shall conquer the world for our Lord Jesus and our blessed Mother.

There are various intentions for each day of the month of October. All daily prayers to be said before and after the Rosary are inside the prayer page/manual.

FIRST DAY MEDITATION
The Title Our Lady of perpetual HelpAmong the innumerable titles under which Christian piety is pleased to invoke the Blessed virgin, there are few that are as likely to lift our hearts and fill them with unlimited confidence as the sweet name of Mother of perpetual Help, a name that pleases Her so.
To convince you of this: consider, on one hand, what the life of man on earth is, and on the other hand, what the name of Our Lady of Perpetual Help means.
Truthfully, what is life but a chain of miseries, dangers, afflictions and labours? in the temporal order, who is exempt from illness or from poverty? who is there who does not have to weep? in the spiritual order, who knows how, on every occasion, to be on guard against the great misfortune of sin, against the snares of lukewarmness, against the coaxing of temptations? Who does not weaken from time to time in the service of God, in the practice of virtue, and who does not tire at times in the path of good? Finally, what Christian does not tremble at the thought of the decisive and difficult moment of death, of the purifying fire of purgatory? In view of such miseries and necessities, the soul, overwhelmed, feels itself weakening and would like to burst into tears. But upon hearing the sweet name of Mother of Perpetual Help, it becomes serene, it takes courage, and continues joyfully on its path toward eternity. Why? Because it then feels that its lamentations are not lost in a desert, but that they find a gracious echo in the heart of a Mother Who desires, and is able, to help it. In truth, the Virgin of Perpetual Help means: a remedy for all the evils that afflict us - a remedy not just for a day, but perpetual, from the cradle to Heaven, help in everything and help at all times. Perpetual Help means: consolation in afflictions, in poverty, in illness, in labours; strength to give up sin, whether mortal or venial, and not to fall into it again. Perpetual Help means: fidelity in the service of the lord and of the virgin Herself, and therefore, final perseverance. Perpetual Help means: courage in the practice of virtue; special protection in the terrible hour of death; prompt and efficacious relief in the dreadful prison where just souls, who are still indebted to Divine justice, suffer before entering the heavenly homeland. Perpetual Help means: that even when circumstances or situations occur where everything seems hopeless, there is still one certain recourse: the Protection of the Blessed Virgin.

Meditate and ask for what you wish to obtain from Our Lady of Perpetual Help

OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP NOVENA
https://maryourhelp.org/novena-to-our-lady-of-perpetual-help-day1.html

ACT OF CONTRITION
My Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true man, my father and redeemer, behold at Thy feet a poor sinner who has so grievously afflicted Thy loving Heart. O lovable Jesus, how could i have offended thee and filled with bitterness that Heart that love me so and that has spared no effort to attain my love? How great has been my in gratitude! But, O my saviour, be consoled, be consoled, I say to thee; now i find myself repentant, such grief i feel for the afflictions i have caused thee, that i would like to die of poor sorrow and contrition. O my Jesus! who could have make me weep for sin as Thou hast wept for them in Thy mortal life! My soul is oppressed for having offended Thee. Eternal father, in satisfaction for my offences I offer Thee the affliction and sorrow the Heart of Thy Divine Son has felt for them. And Thou, O Loving Jesus! give me such a horror for sin that from now on it may make me avoid even the most trifling of faults. Depart from my heart, earthly affections; I do not want to love anything now but my most bountiful Redeemer. O my Jesus, help me, strengthen me, and pardon me.
My Mother of perpetual help, intercede for me and obtain for me the pardon of my sins.
 
PREPARATORY PRAYER
(To be said everyday)
O Most Blessed Virgin Mary! Who to inspire us with boundless confidence has been pleased to take the sweet name of Mother of Perpetual help, I implore Thee to come to my aid always and everywhere, in my temptations, after my falls, in my difficulties, in all the miseries of life, and above all, at the hour of my death. Give me, O loving Mother, the desire, nay more, the habit always to have recourse to Thee, for i feel assured that if i am faithful in invoking Thee, Thou will be faithful in coming to my assistance. Obtain for me, then, this grace of graces, the grace to pray to Thee without ceasing, and with childlike trust, that, by means of my constant plea, I may ensure Thy Perpetual Help and final perseverance. Bless me, O tender and solicitous Mother, pray for me now and at the hour of my death. Amen

St Joseph Husband Of Mary Novena

 

NOVENA PRAYER

(THIS PRAYER IS SAID AT THE END OF EACH DAILY DEVOTION.)

Saint Joseph, I, your unworthy child, greet you. 
You are the faithful protector 
and intercessor of all who love and venerate you. 
You know that I have special confidence in you and that, 
after Jesus and Mary, 
I place all my hope of salvation in you, 
for you are especially powerful with God 
and will never abandon your faithful servants. 
Therefore I humbly invoke you and commend myself, 
with all who are dear to me and all that belong to me, 
to your intercession. 
I beg of you, 
by your love for Jesus and Mary, 
not to abandon me during life 
and to assist me at the hour of my death.

Glorious Saint Joseph, 
spouse of the Immaculate Virgin, 
obtain for me a pure, humble, charitable mind, 
and perfect resignation to the divine Will. 
Be my guide, my father, and my model through life 
that I may merit to die as you did in the arms of Jesus and Mary.

Loving Saint Joseph, 
faithful follower of Jesus Christ, 
I raise my heart to you 
to implore your powerful intercession 
in obtaining from the Divine Heart of Jesus 
all the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare, 
particularly the grace of a happy death, 
and the special grace I now implore:

(STATE YOUR SPECIAL NEED HERE.)

Guardian of the Word Incarnate, 
I feel confident that your prayers 
in my behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God.

Amen

 

MEMORARE

Remember, most pure spouse of Mary, 
ever Virgin, my loving protector, Saint Joseph, 
that no one ever had recourse to your protection 
or asked for your aid without obtaining relief. 
Confiding, therefore, in your goodness, 
I come before you and humbly implore you. 
Despise not my petitions, 
foster-father of the Redeemer, 
but graciously receive them.

Amen.

DAY ONE
FOSTER-FATHER OF JESUS

    Saint Joseph,
you were privileged to share in the mystery
of the Incarnation as the foster-father of Jesus.
Mary alone was directly connected with the fulfillment of the mystery,
in that she gave her consent to Christ's conception
and allowed the Holy Spirit to form
the sacred humanity of Jesus from her blood.
You had a part in this mystery in an indirect manner,
by fulfilling the condition necessary for the Incarnation -
the protection of Mary's virginity before
and during your married life with her.
You made the virginal marriage possible,
and this was a part of God's plan, foreseen,
willed, and decreed from all eternity.

    In a more direct manner you shared in the support,
upbringing, and protection of the Divine Child as His foster-father.
For this purpose the Heavenly Father gave you a genuine heart of a father -
a heart full of love and self-sacrifice.
With the toil of your hands you were obliged
to offer protection to the Divine Child,
to procure for Him food, clothing, and a home.
You were truly the saint of the holy childhood of Jesus -
the living created providence which watched over the Christ-Child.

    When Herod sought the Child to put Him to death,
the Heavenly Father sent an angel but only as a messenger,
giving orders for the flight;
the rest He left entirely in your hands.
It was that fatherly love
which was the only refuge
that received and protected the Divine Child.
Your fatherly love carried Him through the desert
into Egypt until all enemies were removed.
Then on your arms the Child returned to Nazareth
to be nourished and provided for during many years
by the labor of your hands.
Whatever a human son owes to a human father
for all the benefits of his up-bringing and support,
Jesus owed to you,
because you were to Him a foster-father,
teacher, and protector.

    You served the Divine Child with a singular love.
God gave you a heart filled with heavenly, supernatural love -
a love far deeper and more powerful
than any natural father's love could be.

    You served the Divine Child with great unselfishness,
without any regard to self-interest,
but not without sacrifices.
You did not toil for yourself,
but you seemed to be an instrument intended
for the benefit of others,
to be put aside as soon as it had done its word,
for you disappeared from the scene
once the childhood of Jesus had passed.

    You were the shadow of the Heavenly Father
not only as the earthly representative of the authority of the Father,
but also by means of your fatherhood -
which only appeared to be natural -
you were to hide for a while the divinity of Jesus.
What a wonderfully sublime
and divine vocation was yours -
the loving Child which you carried in your arms,
and loved and served so faithfully,
had God in Heaven as Father and was Himself God!

    Yours is a very special rank among the saints of the Kingdom of God,
because you were so much a part of the very life
of the Word of God made Man.
In your house at Nazareth
and under your care the redemption of mankind was prepared.
What you accomplished, you did for us.
You are not only a powerful and great saint in the Kingdom of God,
but a benefactor of the whole of Christendom and mankind.
Your rank in the Kingdom of God,
surpassing far in dignity and honor of all the angels,
deserves our very special veneration, love, and gratitude.

    Saint Joseph,
I thank God for your privilege
of having been chosen by God
to be the foster-father of His Divine Son.
As a token of your own gratitude to God
for this your greatest privilege,
obtain for me the grace of a very devoted love for Jesus Christ,
my God and my Savior.
Help me to serve Him with some of the self-sacrificing love
and devotion which you had while on this earth with Him.
Grant that through your intercession with Jesus, your foster-Son,
I may reach the degree of holiness God has destined for me,
and save my soul.

    Here, recite the "Novena Prayer."

DAY TWO
VIRGINAL HUSBAND OF MARY

    Saint Joseph, I honor you as the true husband of Mary.
Scripture says: "Jacob begot Joseph, the husband of Mary,
and of her was born Jesus who is called Christ" (Matt. 1:16).
Your marriage to Mary was a sacred contract
by which you and Mary gave yourselves to each other.
Mary really belonged to you with all she was and had.
You had a right to her love and obedience;
and no other person so won her esteem, obedience, and love.

    You were also the protector and witness of Mary's virginity.
By your marriage you gave to each other your virginity,
and also the mutual right over it -
a right to safeguard the other's virtue.
This mutual virginity also belonged
to the divine plan of the Incarnation,
for God sent His angel to assure you that motherhood
and virginity in Mary could be united.

    This union of marriage not only brought you
into daily familiar association with Mary,
the loveliest of God's creatures,
but also enabled you to share
with her a mutual exchange of spiritual goods.
And Mary found her edification in your calm,
humble, and deep virtue, purity, and sanctity.
What a great honor comes to you from this close union
with her whom the Son of God calls Mother
and whom He declared the Queen of heaven and earth!
Whatever Mary had belonged by right to you also,
and this included her Son,
even though He had been given to her by God in a wonderful way.
Jesus belonged to you as His legal father.
Your marriage was the way which God chose
to have Jesus introduced into the world,
a great divine mystery from which all benefits have come to us.

    God the Son confided the guardianship
and the support of His Immaculate Mother to your care.
Mary's life was that of the Mother of the Savior,
who did not come upon earth to enjoy honors and pleasures,
but to redeem the world by hard work, suffering, and the cross.
You were the faithful companion, support,
and comforter of the Mother of Sorrows.
How loyal you were to her in poverty,
journeying, work, and pain.
Your love for Mary was based upon your esteem
for her as Mother of God.
After God and the Divine Child,
you loved no one as much as her.
Mary responded to this love.
She submitted to your guidance with naturalness
and easy grace and childlike confidence.
The Holy Spirit Himself was the bond
of the great love which united your hearts.

    Saint Joseph, I thank God for your privilege of being the virginal husband of Mary.
As a token of your own gratitude to God,
obtain for me the grace to love Jesus with all my heart,
as you did, and love Mary with some of the tenderness
and loyalty with which you loved her.

    Here, recite the "Novena Prayer."

DAY THREE
MAN CHOSEN BY THE BLESSED TRINITY

    Saint Joseph, you were the man chosen by God the Father.
He selected you to be His representative on earth,
hence He granted you all the graces
and blessings you needed to be His worthy representative.

    You were the man chosen by God the Son.
Desirous of a worthy foster-father,
He added His own riches and gifts, and above all, His love.
The true measure of your sanctity
is to be judged by your imitation of Jesus.
You were entirely consecrated to Jesus,
working always near Him, offering Him your virtues,
your work, your sufferings, your very life.
Jesus lived in you perfectly so that you were transformed into Him.
In this lies your special glory,
and the keynote of your sanctity.
Hence, after Mary, you are the holiest of the saints.

    You were chosen by the Holy Spirit.
He is the mutual Love of the Father and the Son -
the heart of the Holy Trinity.
In His wisdom He draws forth all creatures from nothing,
guides them to their end in showing them their destiny
and giving them the means to reach it.
Every vocation and every fulfillment of a vocation
proceeds from the Holy Spirit.
As a foster-father of Jesus and head of the Holy Family,
you had an exalted and most responsible vocation -
to open the way for the redemption of the world
and to prepare for it by the education
and guidance of the youth of the God-Man.
In this work you cooperated as the instrument of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit was the guide;
you obeyed and carried out the works.
How perfectly you obeyed the guidance of the God of Love!

    The words of the Old Testament which Pharaoh spoke
concerning Joseph of Egypt can well be applied to you:
"Can we find such another man,
that is full of the spirit of God,
or a wise man like to him?" [Gen. 41:38].
No less is your share in the divine work of God
than was that of Egypt.
You now reign with your foster-Son
and see reflected in the mirror of God's Wisdom
the Divine Will and what is of benefit to our souls.

    Saint Joseph,
I thank God for having made you the man specially chosen by Him.
As a token of your own gratitude to God,
obtain for me the grace to imitate your virtues
so that I too may be pleasing to the Heart of God.
Help me to give myself entirely to His service
and to the accomplishment of His Holy Will,
that one day I may reach heaven
and be eternally united to God as you are.

    Here, recite the "Novena Prayer."

DAY FOUR
FAITHFUL SERVANT

    Saint Joseph, you lived for one purpose -
to be the personal servant of Jesus Christ,
the Word made flesh.
Your noble birth and ancestry,
the graces and gifts,
so generously poured out on you by God -
all this was yours to serve our Lord better.
Every thought, word,
and action of yours was a homage to the love
and glory of the Incarnate Word.
You fulfilled most faithfully the role of a good
and faithful servant who cared for the House of God.

    How perfect was your obedience!
Your position in the Holy Family obliged you to command,
but besides being the foster-father of Jesus,
you were also His disciple.
For almost thirty years,
you watched the God-Man display a simple
and prompt obedience, and you grew to love
and practice it very perfectly yourself.
Without exception you submitted to God,
to the civil rulers,
and to the voice of your conscience.

    When God sent an angel to tell you to care for Mary,
you obeyed in spite of the mystery which surrounded her motherhood.
When you were told to flee into Egypt under painful conditions,
you obeyed without the slightest word of complaint.
When God advised you in a dream to return to Nazareth, you obeyed.
In every situation your obedience was as simple as your faith,
as humble as your heart, as prompt as your love.
It neglected nothing; it took in every command.

    You had the virtue of perfect devotedness,
which marks a good servant.
Every moment of your life was consecrated to the service of our Lord:
sleep, rest, work, pain. Faithful to your duties,
you sacrificed everything unselfishly, even cheerfully.
You would have sacrificed even the happiness of being with Mary.
The rest and quiet of Nazareth was sacrificed at the call of duty.
Your entire life was one generous giving,
even to the point of being ready to die
in proof of your love for Jesus and Mary.
With true unselfish devotedness you worked without praise or reward.

    But God wanted you to be in a certain sense
a cooperator in the Redemption of the world.
He confided to you the care of nourishing
and defending the Divine Child.
He wanted you to be poor and to suffer
because He destined you to be the foster-father of His Son,
who came into the world to save men by His sufferings and death,
and you were to share in His suffering.
In all of these important tasks,
the Heavenly Father always found you a faithful servant!

    Saint Joseph,
I thank God for your privilege of being God's faithful servant.
As a token of your own gratitude to God,
obtain for me the grace to be a faithful servant of God as you were.
Help me to share, as you did,
the perfect obedience of Jesus,
ho came not to do His Will, but the Will of His Father;
to trust in the Providence of God,
knowing that if I do His Will,
He will provide for all my needs of soul and body;
to be calm in my trials
and to leave it to our Lord to free me from them
when it pleases Him to do so.
And help me to imitate your generosity,
for there can be no greater reward here on earth
than the joy and honor of being a faithful servant of God.

    Here, recite the "Novena Prayer."

DAY FIVE
PATRON OF THE CHURCH

    Saint Joseph,
God has appointed you patron of the Catholic Church
because you were the head of the Holy Family,
the starting-point of the Church.
You were the father, protector,
guide and support of the Holy Family.
For that reason you belong in a particular way to the Church,
which was the purpose of the Holy Family's existence.

    I believe that the Church is the family of God on earth.
Its government is represented in priestly authority
which consists above all in its power over the true Body of Christ,
really present in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar,
thus continuing Christ's life in the Church. From this power, too,
comes authority over the Mystical Body of Christ,
the members of the Church -
the power to teach and govern souls,
to reconcile them with God, to bless them,
and to pray for them.

    You have a special relationship to the priesthood
because you possessed a wonderful power over our Savior Himself.
Your life and office were of a priestly function
and are especially connected with the Blessed Sacrament.
To some extent you were the means of bringing the Redeemer to us -
as it is the priest's function to bring Him to us in the Mass -
for you reared Jesus, supported, nourished,
protected and sheltered Him.
You were prefigured by the patriarch Joseph,
who kept supplies of wheat for his people.
But how much greater than he were you!
Joseph of old gave the Egyptians mere bread for their bodies.
You nourished, and with the most tender care,
preserved for the Church Him who is the Bread of Heaven
and who gives eternal life in Holy Communion.

    God has appointed you patron of the Church
because the glorious title of patriarch
also falls by special right to you.
The patriarchs were the heads of families of the Chosen People,
and theirs was the honor to prepare for the Savior's incarnation.
You belonged to this line of patriarchs,
for you were one of the last descendants of the family of David
and one of the nearest forebears of Christ according to the flesh.
As husband of Mary, the Mother of God,
and as the foster-father of the Savior,
you were directly connected with Christ.
Your vocation was especially concerned with the Person of Jesus;
your entire activity centered about Him.
You are, therefore, the closing of the Old Testament
and the beginning of the New,
which took its rise with the Holy Family of Nazareth.
Because the New Testament surpasses the Old in every respect,
you are the patriarch of patriarchs,
the most venerable, exalted,
and amiable of all the patriarchs.<

    Through Mary, the Church received Christ,
and therefore the Church is indebted to her.
But the Church owes her debt of gratitude
and veneration to you also,
for you were the chosen one who enabled Christ
to enter into the world according to the laws of order and fitness.
It was by you that the patriarchs
and the prophets and the faithful reaped the fruit of God's promise.
Alone among them all,
you saw with your own eyes
and possessed the Redeemer promised to the rest of men.

    Saint Joseph,
I thank God for your privilege of being the Patron of the Church.
As a token of your own gratitude to God,
obtain for me the grace to live always
as a worthy member of this Church,
so that through it I may save my soul.
Bless the priests, the religious,
and the laity of the Catholic Church,
that they may ever grow in God's love
and faithfulness in His service.
Protect the Church from the evils of our day
and from the persecution of her enemies.
Through your powerful intercession
may the church successfully accomplish its mission in this world -
the glory of God and the salvation of souls!

EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE 
PSALM 51
Have mercy on me, oh lord for i have sinned. In your compassion blot out my offence. O wash me more and more from my guilt and cleanse me from my sins, my offences truly I know them, my sin is always before me, against you, you alone, have I sinned, what is evil in your sight I have done; that you may be justified when you give sentence and be without reproach when you judge, oh see, in guilt I was born, a sinner was I conceived indeed you love truth in the heart, then in the secret of my heart teach me wisdom, oh purify me, then I shall be clean, wash me, i shall be whiter than snow, make me hear rejoicing and gladness, that the bones you have crush my trill. From my sins turn away your face, and bloth out all my guilt. A pure heart create for me, oh God, put a steadfast spirit within me, do not cast me away from your presence, nor deprive me of your holy spirit, give me again the joy of your help, with a spirit of favour sustain me, that I may teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you. Oh rescue me, God, my helper, and my tongue ring out your goodness. O lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare your praise. For a sacrifice to take no delight, burnt offering from me you would refuse, my sacrifice, a contrite spirit. A humbled, contrite heart you will not spurn. In your goodness, show favour to zion, Rebuild the wall of jerusalem, then you will be pleased with lawful sacrifice (burnt offering wholly consumed) then you will be offered young bull on your altar. Glory to the father, to the son, and to the holy spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
