Day 2: Jesus custodian. During Jesus' terrestrial life, O Saint Joseph, you have not worried about making big things but to make the will of God with zeal and love, even in the simplest and humblest things. Teach me, O Saint Joseph, readiness to look for and to carry out the will of God. 

Day 3: Husband of the Mother of God.  After the initial doubts, O Saint Joseph, your yes to the will of God was clear and precise, accepting Mary as wife. Then, because of you, Jesus entered in the genealogy of David with full right before the law and society. We put in your custody, O Saint Joseph, all the parents so that following your example they accept the invaluable gift of  human life.

Day 4: The man of silence. You were used to silence, O Saint Joseph, being with Jesus and Mary. The house of Nazareth was a temple and in a temple, we pray!.  Teach me, O Saint Joseph, to dominate my loquacity and to cultivate a quiet spirit. 

Day 5: Man of faith. More than Abraham, O Saint Joseph, your faith was tried in what is humanly unthinkable: the maternity of a virgin, the incarnation of the Son of God. Fortify, O Saint Joseph, the disheartened souls and open our hearts to trust in the Providence of  God.

Day 9: Man of the discernment. With the eyes of the soul, O Saint Joseph, you  arranged your life of piety, your work, your nourishment, your rest, your deeper thoughts, your affections, your trials, your intentions in deeds, help me to advance in virtue by the action of the Holy Spirit that renovates the life in people and communities.

Day 10: Man of docility. Saint Thomas defines the docility as a constant and deferential attention to the teachings of the sages. You, O Joseph, always were very docile to the teachings of Jesus and of María, His Mother.  Take away from us, O Saint José, the presumption, the baseless overrating of our opinions and the obstinacy of following our ideas.

Day 11: Man of abnegation. You, O Saint Joseph, never wasted time in vain and useless things and you didn't work with displeasure or ill will. Help me, O Saint Joseph, in prayer, not to allow my soul to be tepid and help me reach a habitual disposition and fervor in my life.

Day 14: Man of peace. You, Joseph, were the custodian of He who brought  peace to the world and preached love, fraternity and  union. He who proclaimed " happy those that work for peace". O Saint Joseph, help me to promote peace where I live and work.

Day 15: Example of humility. You felt small in your own eyes, O Saint Joseph!, how you loved your littleness!. You didn't make miracles and you maintained your life so hidden that almost nothing is known about you. Help me, O Saint Joseph, to run away from  commendations and of  human glory. Make that I find pleasure in living hidden and not follow my personal interest.

Day 16: Example of strength.   O Saint Joseph, your strength reached a very high degree of perfection . It was particularly shown in bearing with serenity the exile in Egypt and the hardness of the work of every day. Help me O Saint Joseph, not  to yield in front of  temptations, fatigues and sufferings.

Day 17: Example of obedience. Your obedience, O Saint Joseph, was admirable, especially when you had to escape to Egypt, after an order that you had so many reasons for not carrying out.  Take away from me, O Saint Joseph, all the excuses that my selfishness outlines not to fulfil God's will.

Day 18: Example of justice. Living far from the things of the world, O Saint Joseph, you always practiced the virtue of  justice especially through your work of carpenter. Always with respect and love towards the King and the Queen of Heaven! Help me reach, O Saint Joseph, total purity of intentions and of heart and full adhesion to God and His will.

Day 19: Example of wisdom.

Day 20: Example of poverty. O Saint Joseph, you  that lived voluntary poverty, you that suffered the privations and the sorrows of  poverty, never wanted to change your condition for any treasure of this world.

Day 23: Example of missionaries. O, Saint Joseph, how great was your love for all the souls! How many prayers made for their salvation! And all that inspired by Christ that would die for the salvation of the world!. Make, O Saint Joseph that I could, with words and deeds help people to find Jesus, the Word that  give definitive answer to man's essential questions.

Day 24: Guardian of virginity. The Voice of the Holy Spirit found in you, O Saint Joseph total welcome, because your life was filled of  God and your force was only the love that you had for Him. Make, O Saint Joseph, that I leave my ways and follow only God that  calls me to participate of His life, and that I can make fructify His gifts.

Day 25: Comforter of sufferers. O Saint Joseph, all your life was marked by suffering: exile, work, poverty. But your heart was happy and your soul always serene. Help me O Saint Joseph, to realize that eternal  life and not  pain is man's true vocation. Preserve me now and always from the crying of those that don't have hope.

Day 26: Hope for the ailing people. In your life, O Saint Joseph, not everything was clear and easy of understanding. However you knew how to find your unique and irrepetible mission in history.

Help me, O Saint Joseph, to often think of heaven where we all are invited to the eternal banquet.

Day 28: Help for families. O Saint Joseph, the Gospel affirms that at your side and María's, Jesus "grew in age, wisdom and grace". I request from you, O Saint Joseph that children find in their families the ideal atmosphere to develop love and learn to keep real truth in their hearts.

Day 29: Domestic life model. O, Saint Joseph, you fully took your responsibility in the Family of Nazaret with spirit of collaboration and of evangelical humility.  Make, O Saint Joseph that parents know how to unite all the potential of human love to those of a healthy  and appropriate spirituality.

Day 30: Terror of demons. O Saint Joseph, fortified by the presence and the memory of Jesus you have been able to always conquer any attack against your faith by the demon. Clean,  O  Saint  Joseph,  my  heart  and  my  mind  of  all  wickedness so that I be a true Christian in my life redeemed by the blood of Christ.

Day 31: Patron of the Universal church.
