Joseph, Litany of Saint
1910 New Catholic Dictionary
or
The latest litany to be added to the approved list for public devotion. It is a time-honored prayer in honor of the holy foster-father of Jesus Christ and was sanctioned in March, 1909, by Pius X, who was tenderly devoted to Saint Joseph whose name he bore from Baptism. It follows closely the form of the Litany of Loreto, and is one of the most charming and devotional of the litanies.
