The words in the gold mandorla (the full halo around their bodies) translate into "Go to Joseph. He is powerful by the Heart of Jesus." And the words at the bottom say "Saint Joseph, Model and Patron (for) the Friends of the Sacred Heart." In parenthesis it says, "100 days of indulgence," which meant if you did some prayers on the back of the card, for a certain length of time, the act would fulfill an item from the Vatican-issued Enchiridion Indulgentarium (Handbook of Indulgences) and allow you 100 days less in purgatory.
On the back of the holy card, we have included an ancient prayer to St. Joseph dating back as early as 50 AD.
We have restored it and reprinted it in holy card size (2.75 x 4.25 inches) and priced it affordably to help you spread devotion to St. Joseph and the Sacred Heart!
O Saint Joseph, whose protection is so great, so
strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I
place in you all my interests and desires,
including (add any specific intentions).
O Saint Joseph, do assist me by your powerful
intercession and obtain for me from your divine
Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ,
Our Lord, so that having experienced here
below your heavenly power, I may offer my
thanksgiving and homage to you,
most loving of fathers.
O Saint Joseph, I never weary of contemplating
you and Jesus asleep in your arms. Hold Him
close and kiss His fine head for me, and ask Him
to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath.
St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for me.
When prayed as a novena, say it daily for 9 days. Add an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.
This prayer dates back at least 500 years, perhaps even back to 50 AD.
