Prayers to always carry with you
to the Virgin and the saints of our medals
Here we bring together the prayers you ask for most, to the Virgin and the saints of our medals. Praying and wearing the medal go hand in hand: the medal is not an amulet, it is a reminder of faith that you carry close to your heart, to always carry their devotion with you. Every time you touch it, say a prayer.
Each prayer is on a handwritten card: you can share it with someone who needs it or download and print it to carry in your bag or purse. Below you have an official source to consult it (the Vatican or COPE), more prayers on our blog and their medals, designed by us and handmade in Spain.

Prayer to Saint Joseph
Prayer to Saint Joseph (Leo XIII)
For that charity that united you with the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and for the paternal love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beseech you to turn your benevolent eyes to the inheritance that Jesus Christ acquired with His Blood, and with your power and help succor our needs.
Protect, oh most provident Guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen offspring of Jesus Christ; remove from us every stain of error and corruption; assist us graciously, from Heaven, our most powerful liberator, in this struggle against the power of darkness; and, as in other times you delivered the Child Jesus from the imminent danger of his life, so now, defend the Holy Church of God from the snares of its enemies and from all adversity, and protect each one of us with perpetual patronage, so that, following your example and sustained by your help, we may live worthily and die piously and attain eternal happiness in Heaven.

Hail Mary,
Give them, Lord, eternal rest.
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.
Amen.
Mary, Queen of Purgatory: I pray to you for the most abandoned and forgotten souls, whom no one remembers; you, Mother, who remembers them, apply to them the merits of the Passion of Jesus, your own merits, and those of the saints, so that they may attain eternal rest.
Hail Mary,
Give them, Lord, eternal rest.
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.

Mary, Queen of Purgatory: I pray to you for those souls who are to leave that place of suffering sooner, so that they may as soon as possible go to sing the eternal mercies of the Lord in your company.

Give them, Lord, eternal rest.
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.

Give them, Lord, eternal rest.
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.

Hail Mary,
Give them, Lord, eternal rest.
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.
Amen.
Most Holy Virgin, I ask you that, just as I remember the blessed souls in Purgatory, the others may remember me, if I am to go there to make satisfaction for my sins. In you, my Mother, I place all my trust as a child, and I know that I shall not be disappointed.
Amen.
