Prayer to St Joseph to Obtain a Conversion

There a few things more gut-wrenching than the thought of our loved ones going to hell. And this is why we have to pray and fight for souls.

Sometimes it seems like our prayers are in vain because the person we’re praying for shows little interest and in hearing about God, let alone in wanting to convert. We must never give up.

St. Joseph is also described as the “Terror of Demons.”

“On earth, St. Joseph gazed upon the radiant face of Jesus for decades. The purity of his soul was unmatched except by the Blessed Virgin Mary. In fact, the pure white veil that covered the ark of the covenant, is likened by Church fathers to Joseph as protector of Mary, prefigured as the ark of the covenant. His authority as the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and father figure of the Child Jesus is thus unmatched. This measure of authority and purity explains the power behind his office as the Terror of Demons.”

St Joseph: Unleash the Terror of Demons

In the Autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila: The Life of St. Teresa of Jesus, the great Saint underscores how much trust she has in St. Joseph’s intercession:

“I cannot call to mind that I have ever asked him at any time for anything which he has not granted; and I am filled with amazement when I consider the great favours which God hath given me through this blessed Saint; the dangers from which he hath delivered me, both of body and of soul.”

The Autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila

We must pray for them without ceasing with all our hearts. We love this Prayer to St Joseph to Obtain a Conversion, as St Joseph is the Patron Saint of the Church.

Prayer to St Joseph to Obtain a Conversion

O Glorious Patriarch St. Joseph, who merited to be called “just’ by the Holy Ghost,

I urgently recommend to the soul of [Name], which Jesus redeemed at the price of His Precious Blood.Thou knowest how deplorable is the state and how unhappy the life of those who have banished this loving Savior from their hearts, and how greatly they are exposed to the danger of losing Him eternally.

Permit not, I beseech thee, that a soul so dear to me should continue any longer in its evil ways; preserve it from the danger that threatens it; touch the heart of the prodigal child and conduct him back to the bosom of the fondest of fathers.

Abandon him not, I implore thee, till thou hast opened to him the gates of the Heavenly city, where he will praise and bless thee throughout eternity for the happiness which he will owe to thy powerful intercession.

Amen.
