O mighty patriarch, Saint Joseph, guardian of the universal Church that has called upon you in times of distress and sorrow; from the exalted position of your glory, kindly observe the Catholic community. May your fatherly heart be moved by the sight of Christ's mystical spouse and His representative, weighed down by grief and assailed by formidable foes. We implore you, through the deep afflictions you faced during your earthly journey, to compassionately dry the tears of our beloved pontiff, to protect and free him, and to intercede with the Source of peace and love, so that every adverse force may be vanquished and every falsehood eradicated, allowing the entire Church to serve the God of all grace in complete freedom. Amen.
