Objective of the Ninth

Tip for this novena:

What does Saint Joseph tell us?
The great discretion with which Joseph carried out the function entrusted to him by God, highlights his faith, which consisted of always listening to the Lord, trying to understand his will, to fulfill it with all his heart and with all his strength. For this reason, the Gospel defines him as a “just” man (Matthew 1:19). Indeed, the just is a person who prays, lives by faith and tries to do good in all the concrete circumstances of life. – John Paul II, March 17, 2002, Vatican.
💡🙏
Let us pray that with the intercession of Saint Joseph, God favors the development of a generation of pious people who are not only desirous of accept the challenge and the call to be godly husbands and fathers, but also to be able to live their mission, bear witness and pass on their example to future generations!
As concrete action let us pray for all those who suffer from loneliness, spiritual bitterness and pain due to estrangement from their loved ones.
