Prayer to St Joseph for a Happy Death

St Joseph is also known to be the Patron saint for the dying

History states that St. Joseph died when Jesus was a young man and that he passed his last breath lying on Jesus. This is the reason that, we pray to St. Joseph for a happy death.

Prayer to St Joseph for a Happy Death

O Blessed Joseph,
you gave your last breath
in the loving embrace of Jesus and Mary.
When the seal of death shall close my life,
come with Jesus and Mary to aid me.
Obtain for me this solace for that hour
to die with their holy arms around me.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I commend my soul,
living and dying, into your sacred arms. Amen.
