Please make an effort to pray the Rosary every day this month (or if you already pray the Rosary daily, make an effort to pray it more attentively) along with the below Prayer to St. Joseph which Pope Leo XIII assigned to be prayed after the Rosary during the month of October.
Unto thee, O Blessed Joseph, do we fly in our tribulation and, having implored the help of thy most holy Spouse, we now confidently seek thy protection. By that charity which united thee to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and by thy fatherly love for the Child Jesus, we humbly beg thee to look graciously upon the inheritance which Jesus Christ hath purchased with His Blood, and in our need to help us by thy powerful intercession. Do thou, O prudent guardian of the Holy Family, watch over the chosen people of Jesus Christ. Keep us, O most loving father, from all blight of error and corruption. O most mighty protector, from thy place in Heaven, graciously help us in this our conflict with the powers of darkness. And as of old thou didst rescue the Child Jesus from the supreme peril of His life, so now defend God’s Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity. Extend to each one of us thy continual protection, that led on by thine example, and strengthened by thine aid, we may lead a holy life, and die in holiness, and obtain everlasting happiness in Heaven. Amen.
