Memorare of St. Joseph

MEMORARE OF ST. JOSEPH - DIARY, 1203

Saint Joseph had urged St. Faustina to have a constant devotion to him. He himself told her to recite three prayers (Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be) and the Memorare once a day. He looked at her with great kindness and gave her to know how much he is supporting this work (of mercy). He has promised her this special help and protection. She recited the requested prayers every day and felt his special protection. The memorare is a prayer that is said by the whole Congregation (St. Faustina's religious community).

MEMORARE TO ST. JOSEPH

Remember, O most pure spouse of Mary, and my dearly beloved guardian, St. Joseph, that never was it known that anyone who invoked your care and requested your help was left without consolation.

Inspired with this confidence, I come to you, and with all the ardor of my spirit I commend myself to you. Do not reject my prayer, O Foster Father of the Savior, but graciously receive and answer it. Amen.
