Saint Joseph Prayer for Children Good Saint Joseph, foster father of Jesus, kindly watch over and care for me as you cared for the child Jesus. By your help, may I come to know your Son, and so grow in strength and wisdom and the favor of God. May I be granted the grace to follow your example as a humble servant to my family and to the world. Teach me to work as you did with patience and perseverance, and to listen to the guidance of our Heavenly Father. Please protect my family, and all families, just as you protected Mary and Jesus. Amen.
