O glorious Patriarch St. Joseph, who merited to be
called "just" by the Holy Spirit, I urgently recommend to you the soul of
(Name), which Jesus redeemed at the price of His Precious Blood.
You know how
deplorable is the state and how unhappy the life of those who have banished this
loving Savior from their hearts, and how greatly they are exposed to the danger
of losing Him eternally.
Permit not, I beseech you, that a soul so dear to me
should continue any longer in its evil ways; preserve it from the danger that
threatens it; touch the heart of the prodigal child and conduct him/her back to
the bosom of the fondest of fathers. Abandon him/her not, I implore you, till
you have opened to him/her the gates of the Heavenly city, where he/she will
praise and bless you throughout eternity for the happiness he/she will owe to
your powerful intercession. Amen.
