My dear friends in Christ. I want to ask St Joseph to intercede for me and my daughter.

I have looked at different intercessionary prayers to St Joseph but none seemed to fit so, using one i found i altered it to suit my particular need.

Firstly, is it ok to alter a prayer?

Secondly, what do you think of it. Could i have worded it better? Thanks


Oh glorious St. Joseph, who, through the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, hast the power to render possible even things which are considered impossible, please come to my aid. I implore thee to intercede for me and help me to find a lovely home for me and my daughter.

Oh St. Joseph, I have great confidence in thee, please hear my prayer.

I see nothing wrong with that prayer. Prayers for both of you and your intentions!

I have always seen set prayers as something for community ease or as a personal go-by and not a have-to. After all, it would be weird to say a rosary at a funeral if everyone was saying their own things. I just try to remember that prayer does not change God but rather it changes me.
