This 2.5"x4.25" holy card features an image of St. Joseph, and a novena to him that is never known to fail.
It reads:
"O St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong,
so prompt before the Throne of God,
I place in you all my interests 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 contemplating you
and Jesus asleep in your arms.
I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart.
Press him 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 us. (Mention your Intention) Amen.

Whoever shall read this prayer or hear it, or keep it about
themselves, shall never die a sudden death or be drowned, nor
shall poison take effect on them; neither shall they fall into the
hands of the enemy, or shall be burned in any fire or shall be
overpowered in any battle. Say for nine mornings in a row for
anything you may desire. It has never been known to fail."
