17. The Chaplet of the Holy Family

It is important to invoke the Holy Spirit: Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love. V. Send forth Thy Spirit, and they shall be created. R. And Thou shall renew the face of the earth. Let us pray: O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that in the same Holy Spirit, we may be truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen. St. Joseph, Patron, guardian of Jesus and protector of the Holy Family, we invoke you to pray for all families to be renewed and united in the love of Jesus and to bring healing and wholeness to all families. May you assist us to imitate the example of your Holy Family so that we may share with them their eternal happiness, who now lives and rules with God the Father. Amen. Recite this chaplet on the beads of the Rosary as follows: On the large bead: O Divine Infant Jesus, who will reign over the whole world, have mercy on us. On the small beads: Our Lady of Divine love, pray for us. In conclusion say three times: Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I love you, save souls.
