Novena to St. Joseph for the Electorate

“Build up the man, build up the family, build up the family, build up the church, build up the church, build up the culture. Voting is putting our manhood into action.

Let us take our discernment to prayer and ask St. Joseph, Patron of Canada and of the whole Church, to intercede for us and inspire every person of voting age to get out and vote.”

Richard Beaulieu of God Squad Canada

Nine daily prayers to our God and invoke St. Joseph for the Canadian Electorate and your personal intentions.

Then pray the devotion of the Day followed by the Our Father, a Hail Mary and the Glory Be.

Start below and play the audio for Day 1.

In the name of the Father,

and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen

Come to my aid, O God.

O Lord, make haste to help me.

Almighty God, Father of mercies and giver of all good gifts,

I come before you to honor you in your saints

and ask their help in my many needs.

You promised those who ask, would receive;

those who seek, would find;

those who knock, would have doors opened to them.

Hear the prayers of your church,

grant my requests, and pardon my sins.

Amen

St. Joseph,

just and true, with a father’s care

you raised the Child Jesus,

and with a husband’s love

you shared your life with Mary, his mother.

I entrust myself to your care and place in your hands these requests of mine.

Dear St Joseph,

Patron of Canada, Foster Father of the Son of God,
please intercede with our Lord Jesus Christ to keep our land Glorious and Free

by guiding the Canadian Electorate into voting for a government

that will respect your authority and to do your will;

and we offer you our personal intentions.

<State your personal intentions here.>

In quiet Nazareth long ago, the Holy Spirit spoke to your heart

and you followed God’s will with wonderful faith.

In the quiet of my days, and in the hard choices I must make,

help me follow

the Spirit’s guidance

and believe when I cannot see.

Day 1

O God, guide of those who listen and helper of those who hear your voice, speak to me, as you did to St. Joseph, and help me accomplish the things you give me to do.
