Coronilla a San José / The Chaplet of St. Joseph

Coronilla a San José
Al igual que con devoción a la Virgen María, los católicos podemos rezar el
Santo Rosario a San José para meditar sobre la vida de Jesús bajo la
paternal mirada del Santo Custodio, pedirle su intercesión y encomendarnos
a la protección del patrono de la Iglesia universal.
Con esta coronilla le pedimos a San José las cosas que para nosotros son imposibles pero
no para él; pedimos con fe y sencillez, pedimos que ponga su corazón en nuestro corazón,
para que amemos a Jesús con toda la entrega, con todo el amor y con todo el desinterés.
La Corona consta de 8 misterios con 7 cuentas pequeñas cada uno, al final de cada 7 se
reemplaza el Gloria por una jaculatoria.

CHAPELET OF ST. JOSEPH
Jesus chose to enter the world through the human family. He came as an infant born into
the marriage and home of the two holiest people who ever lived: Joseph and Mary.
Although  Jesus was God, He was obedient to Mary and Joseph as a child. Scripture says
that under their watchful care “Jesus advanced in wisdom, and age, and grace with God
and men” (Luke 2:51-52).
In this, Jesus gave us an example. We too as His disciples are meant to entrust ourselves to
Joseph and Mary, learning from them how to grow in holiness. As Christians, we are
blessed to have Mary as our spiritual mother and Joseph as our spiritual father. Just as
Mary guides us from heaven with loving devotion, and so too St. Joseph diligently provides for
the needs of the family of God. The Chaplet of St. Joseph is divided into 8 groups of seven
beads. The white bead symbolizes St. Joseph’s purity.
