Saint Joseph is invoked by many titles including Terror of Demons. Venerable Mary of Agreda writes in Mystical City of God that when we call on the powerful and holy name of St. Joseph it terrorizes the demons, “The intercession of St. Joseph is most powerful, filling the demons with terror at the mere mention of his name by his clients."

O St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interest and desires.

O St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.

O St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him close in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for me. Amen.
