  47. We found a new home to buy and our current home sold on the first day of the listing with 6 offers, but it turned out, the home inspection for the one we were purchasing revealed numerous concerns, so we were legally allowed to cancel. That was on Day 1, when my husband and I started this novena to St. Joseph, the protector of families and homes. We were definitely concerned about becoming homeless with all of our belongings in storage, and then we found our perfect home; we close and move April 25th. I truly believe it was through St. Joseph’s intercession on our behalf, that God answered our prayers!

I have been praying for my daughter Angel Merici for a good job that will not make her forget God; also praying for her to get married to an educated, disciplined God fearing man with whom they can be joined in Holy matrimony. I thank St Joseph that on the fifth day of the novena she got a call from one of the places where she submitted her application. They have not taken her yet but we are very optimistic. We shall wait on the Lord His timing is the best. I know both my intentions will be answered and i will testify for the Lord.
