In the Litany of Saint Joseph, the Church invokes the most chaste Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the
foster father and Guardian of the Redeemer, and patron saint of the Universal Church. In May 2021, in
honor of the Year of Saint Joseph, Pope Francis added seven new invocations to the litany.

published in 1909), which also incorporates the new invocations and alternate introduction and
conclusion indicated by the Holy See. It may be freely published, and other English translations may also

mercy. Lord, have mercy.
