Prayer for a Father to Repel Storms and Protect His Home and Family

Posted on by Jeff Cassman
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
O Lord God of Hosts, Creator of Heaven and Earth, who set the boundaries of the sea and command the winds and the waves, I come before Thee as the head of this household, entrusted with the care of my family and the protection of our home. In humility and trust, I beg Thee, stretch forth Thy mighty hand against the storm that threatens us. Let not the tempests of the air or the powers of darkness bring harm to those whom Thou hast given me to protect.
O Christ, King of all Creation, who rebuked the storm upon the sea and brought peace to the fearful hearts of Thy disciples, command now, I pray Thee, that these winds be stilled, that this storm be turned aside, that destruction pass us by. Send Thy holy angels to stand guard over this house, to drive away all dangers, and to keep us in safety beneath the mantle of Thy Sacred Heart.
(The father now takes holy water and sprinkles it around the home, saying:)
In the Name of Jesus Christ, the King of Kings, I bless and protect this home with this holy water, a sign of God’s power over the elements. May all storms and dangers flee before the Cross of Christ. May this dwelling be marked as a place of faith, of refuge, and of peace. By the intercession of the Blessed Virgin

Prayer to St. Joseph When You Need a Miracle

Posted on by Jeff Cassman

Pray this daily for thirty days:

Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so prompt, so strong,
before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires.
Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession,
and obtain for me from your Divine Son
all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power,
I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of fathers.

Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms;
I dare not approach while he reposes near your heart.
Press him in my name and kiss his fine head for me and
ask him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath.

St. Joseph, patron of departing souls – pray for me.
Amen.
