Novena to Saint Joseph

Saint Joseph, protector of the Catholic Church, is also the model for fathers and men. He obeyed his God in all his decisions: to receive Mary and her child, to go to Egypt, to settle in Nazareth. The above makes him an example of humility, sweetness and fidelity. In fact, Saint Joseph is a much-praised saint, a great intercessor before Godwho can not forget to respond when we invoke him!

Praying a novena to Saint Joseph demonstrates its full meaning: to show our fidelity to this man, a model of loyalty.

Why pray a novena to Saint Joseph?

Saint Joseph is a very special saint, being the father of the Holy Family, the husband of the Virgin Mary, and the first man who saw Christ, who knew him. In fact, he raised him, protected him and loved him all his life. Therefore, all these unique characteristics make it an example and a reference figure in many areas of our lives.

Saint Joseph is also a saint who has a reputation for never failing in his prayers. The same Saint Teresa of Avila entrusted us that “The glorious Saint Joseph, and I know it from experience, unfolds his power to all needs (…) Knowing now the surprising resource of this great saint before God, I would like to convince everyone to honor him in a particular way (…) For several years, I have asked him, on his feast day, a particular favor and I have always seen my wishes granted.”

Let us not hesitate to ask the mighty father of the Holy Family for help. Let us pray to him, whether for housing, work, family, partner, or simply to ask for his intercession in our day to day life.
