Litany of Saint Joseph

The Litany of Saint Joseph (Latin: Litaniae Sancti Ioseph) is a formal prayer in the Catholic Church dedicated to Saint Joseph, the Prince and Patron of the Universal Church.

Praying the Litany of Saint Joseph grants partial indulgence.

[2] The Litany of Saint Joseph was translated in the English form as:[3] Lord, have mercy.

O God, who in Thine unspeakable providence didst vouchsafe to choose blessed Joseph to be the spouse of Thine own most holy Mother: grant, we beseech Thee, that we may deserve to have him for our intercessor in heaven, whom we reverence as our defender on earth: who livest and reignest world without end.

The 2004 Enchiridion Indulgentiarum grants the partial indulgence to the faithfuls of Christ who piously pray the Litanies.
