O Mary, Immaculate Virgin of Nazareth, you loved and married Joseph, a descendant of David: with him, you lived through times of grace and hardships, determined to accomplish the Will of the Most High.

To You, Mary, I entrust my spouse (N.), for you are their Mother in Heaven. May they be filled with Your Son Jesus’ wisdom at your command. Grant, O Mary, that our engagement may live up to the Lord’s Plan.

O righteous Joseph, Guardian of the Word Incarnate, model for every man, your faith was exemplary and pure: you were not afraid to marry Our Mother Mary, pregnant with Jesus; you fled to Egypt, and you raised the Son of God as your own.

To You, Joseph, I come to ask for help. Watch over us, (N.) and (N.); grant us to be pure of heart and body, pure in our sight and gestures, for purity is the source of true joy. Help us be pure during our engagement, and throughout our married life! Help me, O Joseph, and help (him/her), grant us clarity in all our choices.

Most holy family of Nazareth, guard and guide us!

All ye holy angels, protect us!

All ye holy guardians, pray for us!

Amen.”
