I've a request, St. Joseph,
Help me have integrity,
Help me express daily,
Reverence and charity.
Help me think right with clearness,
As you did while on the earth:
Help me to be more like you,
Help me so I'll show my worth.
Help me not be aggressive
To others but kind and meek:
The good that is in others,
St. Joseph, it help me seek.
A life that pleases God most,
Help me so it I'll pursue:
To Jesus the Good Shepherd,
Help me always to be true.
