This chaplet is divided into 15 groups of four beads consisting of one
white and three purple beads. The white beads symbolize St. Joseph's purity, and the
purple his saintly piety. A mystery of the rosary is considered on each white bead and two
"Hail Marys" are said. The purple beads say "Praised and blessed be Jesus,
Mary and Joseph."The chaplet is ended with the following prayer:
V. Pray for us, 0 Holy St. Joseph.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let Us Pray
O God, Who has predestined St. Joseph from all eternity for the service of Thine eternal
Son and His blessed Mother, and made him worthy to be the spouse of this blessed Virgin
and the foster-father of Thy Son: we beseech Thee, through all the services he has
rendered to Jesus and Mary on earth, that Thou wouldst make us worthy of his intercession
and grant us to enjoy the happiness of his company in heaven. Through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
