7 Prayers Given by Saint Joseph for the Last Weeks of 2020

In a recent message from Saint Joseph to a Latin American visionary (Lorena), we are given 7 prayers to pray every day from now until January 1st, 2021.

Speaking of the pandemic and the world-wide vaccination campaign, which he calls out as a "conspiracy of the antichrist to take control of all humanity," Saint Joseph names January 1st a "decisive day":

"Pray a lot, from today until January 1st, which is a decisive day. Your prayer in these last weeks of the year can make God intervene in a favorable way in this terrible situation. ...

"Pray all these prayers united with this intention, every day from today until January First, so that Heaven can intervene in a positive way, and help you to delay this vaccination campaign or make a direct Heavenly intervention."

I'll share the full message from St. Joseph to Lorena on December 18th, 2020 below. But first, here are the 7 prayers:

(If this feels overwhelming to you, read to the very end of this post for an easy method I came up with to say the prayers.)

4. Psalm 91

Bonum est confiteri. God is to be praised for his wondrous works.

A psalm of a canticle on the sabbath day. It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High. To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night: Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp. For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.

O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep. The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things. When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever: But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore. For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy. My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me. The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus. They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God. They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated,

That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.

5. Pope Leo XIII Exorcism Prayer

Published by Order of His Holiness Pope Leo XIII

The Holy Father exhorts priests to say this prayer as often as possible, as a simple exorcism to curb the power of the devil and prevent him from doing harm. The faithful also may say it in their own name, for the same purpose, as any approved prayer. Its use is recommended whenever action of the devil is suspected, causing malice in men, violent temptations and even storms and various calamities. It could be used as a solemn exorcism (an official and public ceremony, in Latin), to expel the devil. It would then be said by a priest, in the name of the Church and only with a Bishop’s permission.

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

✠ In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Most glorious Prince of the Celestial Host, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the conflict which we have to sustain against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places (Eph. 6.12). Come to the rescue of men whom God has created to His image and likeness, and whom He has redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil. It is thou whom Holy Church venerates as her guardian and protector; thou whom the Lord has charged to conduct redeemed souls into Heaven. Pray, therefore, the God of Peace to subdue Satan beneath our feet, that he may no longer retain men captive nor do injury to the Church. Present our prayers to the most High, that without delay they may draw His mercy down upon us. Seize the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, bind him and cast him into the bottomless pit, that he may no more seduce the nations (Apoc. 20.2-3). 

Exorcism

In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, strengthened by the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of Blessed Michael the Archangel, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and all the Saints, [and powerful in the holy authority of our ministry]*, we confidently undertake to repulse the attacks and deceits of the devil.

*Lay people omit this text

Psalm 67

Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered: and let them that hate Him flee from before His face.

As smoke vanishes, so let them vanish away: as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

V. Behold the Cross of the Lord! Flee, bands of enemies.
R. The Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Offspring of David has conquered.
V. May Thy mercy descend upon us.
R. As great as our hope in Thee. 

(The crosses (✠) below indicate a blessing to be given if a priest recites the Exorcism; if a lay person recites it, they indicate the Sign of the Cross to be made by that person.)

We drive you from us, whoever you may be, unclean spirits, Satanic powers, infernal invaders, wicked legions, assemblies, and sects. In the name and by the virtue of Our Lord Jesus Christ ✠. May you be snatched away and driven from the Church of God and from the souls redeemed by the Precious Blood of the Divine Lamb ✠.

Cease by your audacity, cunning serpent, to deceive the human race, to persecute the Church, to torment God’s elect, and to sift them as wheat ✠. This is the command made to you by the Most High God ✠, with Whom in your haughty insolence you still pretend to be equal ✠. The God Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth (I Tim. 2.4). God the Father commands you ✠. God the Son commands you ✠. God the Holy Ghost commands you ✠. Christ, the Eternal Word of God made Flesh, commands you ✠. He Who to save our race, outdone through your malice, humbled Himself, becoming obedient unto death (Phil. 2.8). He Who has built His Church on the firm rock and declared that the gates of hell shall not prevail against Her, because He dwells with Her all days, even to the consummation of the world (Matt. 28.20). The hidden virtue of the Cross requires it of you, as does the power of the mysteries of the Christian Faith ✠. The glorious Mother of God, the Virgin Mary, commands you ✠. She who by Her humility and from the first moment of Her Immaculate Conception crushed your proud head. The faith of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul and of the other Apostles commands you ✠. The blood of the Martyrs and the pious intercession of all the Saints command you ✠. 

Thus, cursed dragon, and you, wicked legions, we adjure you by the living God ✠, by the true God ✠, by the holy God ✠, by the God Who so loved the world, as to give up His only-begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him may not perish but may have life everlasting (St. John 3.16). Cease deceiving human creatures and pouring out to them the poison of eternal perdition. Cease harming the Church and hindering her liberty. Retreat, Satan, inventor and master of all deceit, enemy of man’s salvation. Cede the place to Christ in Whom you have found none of your works. Cede the place to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church acquired by Christ at the price of His Blood. Stoop beneath the all-powerful Hand of God. Tremble and flee at the evocation of the Holy and terrible name of Jesus; this Name which causes hell to tremble; this Name to which the Virtues, Powers and Dominations of Heaven are humbly submissive; this Name which the Cherubim and Seraphim praise unceasingly, repeating: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord, the God of Hosts. 

V. O Lord hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto Thee.
V. May the Lord be with thee.
R. And with thy spirit.

Let us pray.

God of Heaven, God of earth, God of Angels, God of Archangels, God of Patriarchs, God of Prophets, God of Apostles, God of Martyrs, God of Confessors, God of Virgins, God who has power to give life after death and rest after work, because there is no other God than Thee and there can be no other, for Thou art the Creator of all things, visible and invisible, of Whose reign there shall be no end. We humbly prostrate ourselves before Thy glorious Majesty and we supplicate Thee to deliver us from all the tyranny of the infernal spirits, from their snares, their lies, and their furious wickedness. Deign, O Lord, to protect us by Thy power and to preserve us safe and sound. We beseech Thee through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.

V.  From the snares of the devil,
R.  Deliver us, O Lord. 

V.  That Thy Church may serve Thee in peace and liberty,
R.  We beseech Thee to hear us. 

V.  That Thou would crush down all enemies of Thy Church,
R.  We beseech Thee to hear us. 

(Holy water is sprinkled in the place where we may be.) 

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the Divine Power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

6. Divine Mercy Chaplet

You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You! (3X)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Apostles' Creed.

On the large (Our Father) beads:

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

On the small (Hail Mary) beads:

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Concluding Prayer:

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. (3X)

7. Ephesians 6

Duties of children and servants. The Christian's armour.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is just. Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise: That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest be long lived upon earth. And you, fathers, provoke not your children to anger; but bring them up in the discipline and correction of the Lord. Servants, be obedient to them that are your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ:

Not serving to the eye, as it were pleasing men, but, as the servants of Christ doing the will of God from the heart, With a good will serving, as to the Lord, and not to men. Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man shall do, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be bond, or free. And you, masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatenings, knowing that the Lord both of them and you is in heaven; and there is no respect of persons with him. Finally, brethren, be strengthened in the Lord, and in the might of his power.

Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places¹. Therefore take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand in all things perfect. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of justice, And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace:

In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one. And take unto you the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit (which is the word of God). By all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the spirit; and in the same watching with all instance and supplication for all the saints: And for me, that speech may be given me, that I may open my mouth with confidence, to make known the mystery of the gospel. For which I am an ambassador in a chain, so that therein I may be bold to speak according as I ought.

But that you also may know the things that concern me, and what I am doing, Tychicus, my dearest brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known to you all things: Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose, that you may know the things concerning us, and that he may comfort your hearts. Peace be to the brethren and charity with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption². Amen.

1. "In the high places": or heavenly places. That is to say, in the air, the lowest of the celestial regions; in which God permits these wicked spirits or fallen angels to wander.

2. "In incorruption": That is, with a pure and perfect love.

Full Message of St. Joseph to Lorena on December 18, 2020:

(A Latin American visionary; translated from original Spanish. Source.)

The True Christians in these Last Times will be persecuted, humiliated, lacerated and Immolated, and they will be the New Generation of Faithful who with their blood will Renew the Church of Christ. This is hard and difficult to accept, but if you put your Trust in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, They will fill you with Their Power, Heaven will NOT abandon you ever. Many will go to jail; others will be Immolated; there will also be those who will be protected in places of Preservation to inhabit the New Heaven and Earth.

I, Saint Joseph, will protect you with My Mantle and I will give you the lineament and guidelines to follow before this begins in full swing; the application of the Covid Vaccine is a persecution against the People of God.

And this disease created by the World Elite, is a conspiracy of the antichrist, to take control of all humanity. Great interest moves behind this Pandemic and this World-wide Vaccination Campaign. You as the Remnant must open your eyes to this reality and be aware of it, and that you are facing a monster that with its tentacles seeks to devour Souls. Heaven will intervene in this situation if you JOIN in Prayer for this purpose from now on. Do not waste time, all from your houses Pray, Pray Much, Prayer is very POWERFUL, Fast and make Sacrifices. It is very important that in your Prayers you put in your requests, the urgency of achieving a SPIRITUAL UNION of the Remaining People So Great, that like David against Goliath they can win this giant, who wants to devour them with his tentacles.

You as the People of God and a Faithful Remnant have the Power to change the course of events, but if instead of uniting you dedicate yourself to attack each other and divide, evil will catch you off guard and will destroy part of this Remnant Church. That is why today more than ever you must be UNITED IN PRAYER, since Heaven can intervene in a favorable way before this event. That is why I call you to unity among yourselves and to Community Prayer, from where each one of you is to Pray so that in this Vaccination Campaign God intervene and Save Souls. TODAY more than ever you must be UNITED IN PRAYER for this intention so that God can intervene in a favorable way in favor of all humanity. You are the Force that makes the darkness stop and slow down its plans; you are the Light that illuminates the darkness; They are David against Goliath and I, as the Adoptive Father of Jesus Christ, ask you to join strongly in Prayer – the persecution has already begun and you must strengthen yourselves from the Graces of Heaven with the help of the entire Triumphant Army. Remember that the most valuable thing you have is your Souls, fight for them with Prayer, Fasting and Penance, since these are the MOST POWERFUL WEAPONS that can stop Wars and Catastrophes.

PRAY A LOT, from TODAY until January 1st, which is a decisive day. Your Prayer in these last weeks of the Year can make God intervene in a favorable way in this terrible situation.

PRAY THESE PRAYERS:

1. The normal Rosary

2. Rosary to the Holy Wounds

3. Rosary to the Most Precious Blood

4. Psalm 91

5. Pope Leo XIII exorcism

6. Chaplet of Mercy

7. Ephesians 6

Pray all these Prayers united with this intention, every day from Today until January First, so that Heaven can intervene in a positive way, and help you to delay this Vaccination Campaign or make a direct Heavenly intervention.

People of God, the threats against you are Great and you must constantly UNITE in Prayer, that this is your Soul that will defend you and will keep you safe from the clutches of the enemy. I return and say Pray these Prayers for this intention, JOIN as brothers since your Prayer will cause Miracles where I cover you with My Mantle and I protect you from all evil and perverse plan of the adversary. You are the Hope and Light of the World, JOIN IN PRAYER, please this week and a half that remains before the year begins.

Prayer does Miracles. CRY TO HEAVEN so that this situation that threatens your Physical and Spiritual integrity can be lessened or detained for a time in this fierce struggle for Souls; join with these Prayers before said, these days and you will see Miracles and Prowess. I say goodbye with My Holy Blessing of Adoptive Father of My Son Jesus Christ. Amen.

Easy Method of Saying these Prayers

Since many of us are already very busy and/or may be in the middle of several other novenas, here is an "easy way" I have come up with to honor St. Joseph's request.

Instead of praying each of the 7 prayers every day, simply say one of the prayers per day. If you start on December 25th (Christmas Day), then at least you will be able to say each of the prayers once by the end of 2020.

So here's the breakdown:

December 25: Rosary

December 26: Chaplet of the Holy Wounds

December 27: Chaplet of the Most Precious Blood

December 28: Psalm 91

December 29: Pope Leo XIII Exorcism Prayer

December 30: Divine Mercy Chaplet

December 31: Ephesians 6

I hope this helps.

Thank you for praying together with me. Merry Christmas, and God bless!
