Oil Dedicated to Sleeping St Joseph
Sleeping St. Joseph is a beloved devotion that honors the silent protector of Jesus and Mary, who listened to God’s voice not in the noise of the world, but in the quiet of his dreams. In Scripture, St. Joseph receives divine direction during his sleep—messages from the angel guiding him to protect Mary, flee with the Christ Child to Egypt, and safely return to Nazareth. In his rest, Joseph’s heart remained fully attentive to God’s will.
This devotion reminds us to trust God’s plan, even when we do not understand it fully. Like St. Joseph, we are called to act with courage and faith when the time is right, but also to rest peacefully in God’s providence, surrendering our anxieties and fears to Him. Pope Francis himself keeps a statue of Sleeping St. Joseph by his bedside, placing written prayers beneath it, entrusting his concerns to the saint while he sleeps—trusting that Joseph, the protector of the Holy Family, also protects the Church and our families today.
Our Irish Blessing Oil dedicated to Sleeping St. Joseph is prayerfully prepared in the quiet spirit of his trustful surrender. Each bottle comes with a prayer card asking for his intercession—for restful sleep, clarity in difficult decisions, protection for families, and peaceful trust in God’s timing.
Lovingly prayed over by the team at A Blessed Call to Love. It invites you to lay down your worries, trusting that while you rest, St. Joseph intercedes before God for your needs and those of your loved ones.
May this oil remind you of God’s quiet work in your life, even when you cannot see the way forward. Just as Joseph awoke strengthened and guided by God’s voice, may you, too, find peace in resting your heart in the Father’s loving care.
Place your intentions under the protection of Sleeping St. Joseph, and sleep peacefully, knowing that God’s plan is unfolding in His perfect time.
