  1. During this novena, I asked for help with 4 of the many prayers we always have. The 4th one was that our 6 1/2 yr old cat Mandy had not come home. She was last home the morning of the 8th. I prayed for her to come home. On the 19th I accepted that she was lost to us, had tragically passed. Tonight she came home, thin and hungry but home. God is awesome. Thank you Saint Joseph for your intercession.

  2. I am grateful for all the others answered prayers. Though i dont think my own intercesions were answered. Praise be to God. I will not tire in seeking you Lord.

  3. Glory be to GOD and many thanks to Saint Joseph! It reveals that my daughter has finally passed her master examination contrary to what have been said. She has just finished a two months’ internship and they want her to sign a three months’ contract for an essay. I still beg saint Joseph to bless my daughter’s everyday life, to guide and protect her, give her a good husband and a good job in relations with her studies. Many thanks once again. I am sure my others requests will be answered.

  7. My husband and I are going through difficult time in our marriage I felt emotionally and mentally abused.. To the point that I was ready to leave with our 12 year old daughter. ( who he hasn’t spoken to in over a month). He moved out of our bedroom during this last argument and we hadn’t spoken in over a week at this point. I prayed. I consecrated our Family. I joined my suffering to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. On day 6 of Novena he finally approached me to talk. Breaking down in tears. We are mending. We are forgiving. He still hasn’t spoken to daughter but I keep praying. Please St. Joseph heal our family. Thank you St. Joseph!

  8. Unemployment has been a difficult journey these past four months. But by the grace of God, I started this novena with an interview and ended this novena with a contract to start work! St. Joseph never fails!

  9. My nephew’s life spun out of control 2 years ago when his daughter became ill. I prayed he turn himself around. He called the day after the Novena ended to say he got a part time job. I am thanking St Josseph and am asking him to continue to help my nephew and all who are praying for his intercession.

God helped us plan the timing perfectly. However, with the virus we were seriously having to face the reality that he may not be physically home the day of our wedding, as they would push graduation back several weeks. Today, St. Joseph’s feast day, we found out they are continuing with graduation on the planned date :) We are getting married at the Shrine of St. Joseph. Praise God. We know it is all in His hands.

  19. I prayed that St. Joseph will give me more confidence as a father. I felt my prayer being answered every day when I prayed it, and observed its effects in my attitude and approach with my children. This spiritual gift was mine for the asking, apparently something Joseph, Mary and Jesus want for me so I can be more effective as a Dad and husband.

  31. I am glorifying my God for answering my prayers, today God gave my daughter a job. Am so grateful this prayer community for praying with me. My God continue giving you the strength to and ability to bring people closer to God. Amen

  32. Three years ago I said this novena for us to find a house and a neighborhood that would be a good community to raise our children with love and faith. The area where we were renting was wonderful but expensive. During the novena, we found it. So many pieces fell in place perfectly and we found our home just down the street from where we were renting. We actually walked by it every day taking my daughter to school and the park! And the parish here has been so wonderful for us and our children’s growing faith. I know St Joseph interceded for us for us to be here!

  33. My daughter is a student in her last semester of Occupational Therapy school and is doing her last rotation at Baton Rouge Children’s Hospital. She treated a child that was being tested for the corona virus. She was sent home and recorded her temperature morning and night on a hospital form. I prayed this Novena for all who were sick with the virus but especially for this child that she treated. My daughter found out this morning on St. Joseph’s day that the test was negative! Thank you St. Joseph and the Holy Trinity!

  34. Let’s not forget that St Joseph was the foster father of Jesus. I never saw “adoptive parent” mentioned in any of your daily novenas. St Joseph is a strong role model and guide to adoptive parents as well, not just fathers and wives. As an adoptive mother, I have his statue in my home and include him in my prayers on a regular basis. I generally ask for his intercession to be a wise, loving parent and make good choices as the protector and provider of my family. I feel strongly he has heard me.

  35. My comments are: Amen to all the prayer points and confidently trusting God in all things through the intercession of the saints mentioned in this novena and all other saints of God in heaven through Christ Our Lord Amen

  39. I had been praying for God to guide both my husband and I To be on same page of our children’s education. I wanted to take them out of school to homeschool Starting in the fall and to bring our family closer together. Now the whole world is doing it due to the virus. Although, this is a sad circumstance, I’m am so joyful And at peace to have my family home to homeschool now and that we can bring our family closer to each other and God(even if we are struggling to get along witH each other but that was the point to grow together and trust in God ).
