A prayer to Saint Joseph asking for his intercession to keep our hearts, bodies, and minds pure. An image of St. Joseph walking with the young boy Jesus is on the front of the card and on the back the printed prayer.
Saint Joseph, father and
guardian of virgins, into whose
faithful keeping were entrusted
Innocency itself, Christ Jesus,
and Mary, the Virgin of
virgins, to pray and beseech
thee through Jesus and Mary,
those pledges so dear to thee, to
keep me from all uncleanness,
and to grant that my mind may
be untainted, my heart pure
and my body chaste; help me
always to serve Jesus and
Mary in perfect chastity. Amen.

conditions, for month's recitation).
