We suggest you continue to pray the Prayer of Protection each day, the Holy Rosary and Psalm 91. Add the Memorare to St. Joseph and the Act of Consecration to St. Joseph.
This will be led through the Rosary on the Coast Social Media alongside the media of Bishop Keenan & Sancta Familia Media.
Here is the link to the pdf of the Protection Prayer on the Rosary on the Coast website.

Memorare to St. Joseph
Remember, O Most Chaste Spouse of the Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, my spiritual father, and beg your protection. O Foster Father of the Redeemer, despise not my petitions, but in your clemency hear and answer me.
Amen.
Act of Consecration to St. Joseph
O Glorious Patriarch and Patron of the Church! O Virgin Spouse of the Virgin Mother of God! O Guardian and Virginal Father of the Word Incarnate! In the presence of Jesus and Mary, I choose you this day to be my father, my guardian, and my protector.
O great St. Joseph, whom God has made the Head of the Holy Family, accept me, I beseech you, though utterly unworthy, to be a member of your “HOLY HOUSE”. Present me to your Immaculate Spouse; ask her also to adopt me as her child. With her, pray that I may constantly think of Jesus, and serve him faithfully to the end of my life. O Terror of Demons, increase in me virtue, protect me from the evil one, and help me not to offend God in any way. Watch over me at all times, but especially at the hour of my death. Console and strengthen me with the presence of Jesus and Mary so that, with you, I may praise and adore the Holy Trinity for all eternity. Amen.
St. Joseph, patron & protector of the Universal Church, pray for us. Amen
