How to pray the Chaplet of Saint Joseph

The Chaplet of Saint Joseph is prayed for family protection. In today's society, Satan is making every attempt, first of all and foremost, to destroy the family. As is well known, many marriages end up in divorce. But all that can change by the intercession of the adoptive father of Jesus through our praying of the Chaplet of Saint Joseph.                                                                                                                                                                                   On the large beads, say the following prayer:

"St. Joseph guardian of the Holy Family, bless our families."                                                                                                                                                                               On the small beads, say the following prayer:

"St. Joseph pray for us."                                                                                                                                                             Concluding prayer:

"Jesus, Mary and Joseph I give You my heart and my soul.
"Jesus, Mary and Joseph assist me now and in my last agony.
"Jesus, Mary and Joseph may I breathe forth my soul in peace with You.
Amen."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Saint Mary, Mother Of God, pray for us.
