  1. One of my son’s has returned to our beautiful faith, bringing his wife and two younger sons.
    Every novena I would pray for all of my children and grand children would return after so many years not practicing their faith. This son has been coming off and on but would place the sports and other things first. They asked me about prayers I have and pray and they would be going back for good. Praying he will be a good influence on the others that are so far away from any faith.
    St Joseph has been working on this young man of mine. I have the sleeping St Joseph with that prayer request, it has been there for a few years.
    Thank you St Joseph for never giving up on this young man.

  2. I lost my job in November and recently received a declination letter for a position I really wanted, and was so I was going to get. The day after the Novena they called me in for a second interview! Someone decided to retire and I got the job! Jesus, Mary, & Joseph! I love you! Save souls!

  3. I prayed that God would take my terminally ill husband home and save him from his misery. He died March 6. Prayer answered.

  4. I 🙏st Joseph novena , it helped me get to finish my class and I will be getting the certificate April 11th saying we completed it

  5. Prayed for healing in my son and daughter-in-laws marriage and just today learned that they are both in counseling and there has been much mending. They are both also coming back to the practice of their Catholic faith. Thank you Saint Joseph and Mother Mary!

  6. With all the chaos going on in the world today, I was at potential risk for losing my job. As the days went on and I kept praying, I started receiving more clarity on what was going on. Now I’m on track for greater things for my family and I. These moments of prayer offer a great time for reflection and meditation to get things into prospective. And by having these reminders to continue our prayers is a real motivating factor to living a life on the path of righteousness.

  7. I prayed for healing of my nephew J and that he would realize that the love and support of his parents and brothers are always there for him. On the birthday of his mom a week after the St Joseph novena, J struggled a lot. But he eventually approached his mom, embraced him so tight and so long. They were both crying. That’s what I’ve prayed for, and truly, it is a start toward’s J’s healing. Thank you, dear St Joseph, thank you.

    I continue praying to St Joseph, and continue to thank and pray to our Lord God the Father, in Jesus’ Mighty Name.

    Thank you to this site, God’s blessings always.

  11. I prayed fory son to find welcoming people in Australia. He had not made any friends in 4 months and was very lonely. I was very worried because he had mental health issues and had already tried to take his own life here in South Africa. To make matters worse my own parents had not been very welcoming and loving and he is living with them. Right at the end of the novena my prayers were answered. 2 friends who I last saw 24 years ago all of a sudden got in contact. When they heard my son was over there they reached out and invited my son to the husband’s 50th birthday! When they met him they told me they had inherited a son and I was not to worry anymore. My prayers were fully answered. My family is blessed and I am grateful.

Another prayer answered was for motivation and strength to exercise and to strengthen my body (I have physical limitations) and so far physical therapy has been benefiting me! Thank You God for Your goodness and love!

  21. I left my home country for a new country with my husband and kids. I wanted my kids to attend a Catholic school but because we came after half term there was no space. After speaking to God we got called for them to resume. Coming to church to thank God.

I found favour on all aspects. St Joseph father of my redeemer..I adore you.

  22. I didn’t pray this Novena. I’m praying the 33 day “Consecration to St. Joseph”, by Fr. Don Calloway. There isn’t an intention, but I am using it as a 30 min. per day reading fundraiser for St. Jude’s Hospital. It’s on Facebook if anyone wants to donate. The reason I actually came here was to thank St. Joseph for all he’s done for all of you.❤

  23. Through St Joseph’s intercession:
    My husband successfully finished his father’s estate matters
    My son sold his townhouse and payed a student debt
    We are doing really well with our work

  30. I prayed for the peaceful passing of my college roommate’s mother. Although she was not Catholic or Christian I noticed she had a picture of St Joseph in her room on my final visit.

This was a answers prayer for both me and her daughter who has been her full time caretaker for over four years.

  31. I had prayed the St Joseph for help with my financial situation. I was in a very bad spot but I put my full trust in Jesus and St Joseph.

  33. I prayed the St. Joseph novena for my new born twin granddaughters who were born very prematurely at 23weeks. They are now 3 weeks and 2 days old fighting like the little warriors they are. Each day is a blessing. Each day brings different challenges, but each day is a gift not taken lightly. I will continue to pray for their strength and increasing health. May we all be blessed with answers to our prayers. All praise and glory to God our father.

    Not a fully answered prayer or a secure and good job but my son has been approved for unemployment and the state is helping. He has been owed money which has now bee received. Praise God!

  41. I began praying this novena and will often slack. I had had issues with the man I am in love with because he isn’t ready for a relationship. Then, God wanted me to pray for him to come closer to him first before anything else. Safe to say, he is inching closer to Christ daily now. We communicate better than before and things are looking up through St Joseph’s intercession.

  42. Thank you St. Joseph for opening a wholesome way filled with goodness and wholesomeness when we felt there was no hope in this family.
    Thank you for your Divine Intervention and for softening my partners Mother’s ways, heal her with genuine goodness and mercy and wholesomeness and turn her harshness into tenderness and her fears into loving kindness. Thank you for healing her combative position. Thank you for helping him turn towards me as his other team member, with compassion instead of the control that he feels and feeds off of from them with their constant control and pulls from every direction over him. Whomever is talking to him show us. Help him to stand up for his relationship respectfully as his priority and face Life and step up easily.
    Thank you St. Joseph for being a light in his healing especially with his generational emotional unavailability and disagreeable mindset. Thank you for opening up his mind to seeing that things can be done differently and simply and what worked before may not necessarily work today. Thank you for his apology and humility and compassion over pride and ego. Thank you for solutions for respectful inclusivity and enjoyment together as a couple with healthy boundaries. Thank you also for letting him see his ways and knowing him self honestly. Thank you for his Dad’s mental and emotional healing and wholesome support as well and his genuine sound mind in every thing he says and does from goodness with reasonable expectations. Thank you for his younger brother also being a huge positive wholesome support.
    Thank you for protecting us all and for your protection and Healing in and over this union. Amen.

  43. My son is diagnosed with depression and bipolar. His marriage was coming apart. I prayed for his mental health, his wife and my grandchildren. I didn’t think anything could save this family unit. But I prayed. Today they are in therapy and happiness is returning. They have a long road ahead but they are walking together. Thank you St. Joseph for the guidance and healing you have brought to this family.

  44. I prayed for the gift of peace of mind and it was granted before the Novena was over. Thank you, Jesus and thank you, St. Joseph.

  47. I prayed to St. Joseph for a friend to end an affair and repent and return to his wife and son and he did!!! It is truly a miracle! Thank you dear beloved St. Joseph.

  48. I prayed the Saint Joseph’s novena for a couple of family members who have been long time unemployed and were at the lowest ebb. One of them will start a new job in a couple of weeks! I know that God has a plan for the 2nd person and the miracle is on the way! Thank you St. Joseph for the intercession

  49. My son was heading down a narrow road as a young adult not 21 yet. I listened to my god mothers advice and asked for someone to come into his life that has similar family, religious, values as he and his family, someone that will love him like we love him and as he was faced with hitting rock bottom this girl became present in his life and is now his girlfriend today I continue to pray for them to keep a healthy relationship and experience happiness and gratefulness. Thank you

  50. I prayed this novena for help selling our condo, and for a dear friend to find a new job. Both prayers were answered–thank you St. Joseph!

  51. I’ve always had a strong connection to Saint Joseph, especially when it comes to soccer. Whenever I ask Saint Joseph for his intercession, if it may be Gods will, he finds a way to make things happen. I asked Saint Joseph that if the time was right, I would really like to get called into US Youth National Team Camp again. About a week ago, Saint Joseph answered my prayers and I’m going to camp next week! I know the time is right because that what I prayed for. I also know he will be by my side throughout my entire journey.

  52. When I started this Novena I had 3 intentions. 1 for my son to get a job
    2 for my Brother to find a suitable position in his profession.
    3 For the long drawn formalities & paperwork of our disputed matrimonial home be finalized. One individual was hesitant to provide crucial paperwork and refused but in the eight day of the Novena she agreed to send the paperwork authenticated and attested per requirements. St Joseph’s intercession is the sure answer to our prayers.
    I will continue to pray for the two other intensions still to come to fruition. I will not cease my prayers to St Joseph to intercede for my son n brother. I know he will do that and Jesus will answer. Praise n blessed be Jesus, Mary & Joseph

  53. Thank you, St. Joseph!❤ My prayers were answered. I had specific prayers and on St. Joseph’s Day, they were answered. I’m so blessed. God has richly blessed me and my family.

  54. My son has been going to court for better visitations with his daughter. Her mother was making it difficult. This last Thursday case settled and things went great and we couldn’t be happier.
    We give God all the glory, and acknowledge St Joseph intercession.

  55. Good Evening my brothers and sisters in Christ.
    I want to start by thanking God for journey mercies., peace of mind, good health of mind and body.
    Thanks be to God Almighty for restoring my relationship with my husband and children. I pray that God would perfect everything that concerns me, my marriage, my husband and children. May His presence continue to be with us, as well as His wisdom, sense of direction and Divine providence in Jesus Mighty name Amen 🙏

  56. I have been praying for three years for my son to return to school. He has stubbornly avoided this, even though he knew it was best for him. During this St Joseph Novina he called to tell us that he had seen the light and will be going back to school. I’m beyond thankful.

  57. Thank you St Joseph for helping me get an extension of my blue badge. I prayed this novena to you with that special intention.

  58. Thank you St. Joseph for bringing my husband back to the family. He’s much calmer than before and we don’t fight as much as we did before the Novena. He’s also attending daily Mass with me. Thank you Our Blessed Mother for your intercession. Thank you, Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, for your mercy on our family.

    I ask that you bring reconciliation, forgiveness and peace to mend the relationship between my husband and my son. They haven’t talk with each other for over 3 years now.

    Also, please pray for my brother, Hung, who passed away unexpectedly on 3/26. He was away from the Church and the Sacraments over 40 years. May God have mercy on his soul to forgive all his sins and bring him to heaven with You on the Divine Mercy Sunday. Amen. Thank you, Jesus!!

  59. I am thankful that through the intercession of Holy St Joseph my boyfriend has finally gotten the job he is been waiting and praying for for a very long time.

    God bless you all

  64. I pray to st Joseph to make my husband reconsider our holy marriage and don’t file for divorce. For him to fear God and work our issues as a couple

  65. I plead to you Saint Monica to consider my prayers for my son . Your son, Augustine, wandered, and eventually he found the faith, and came to believe. So I ask you to ask Jesus to bring my son back to us and our faith . Resurrect him from the clutches of ungodly unchristian H, I ,P, M, M. Open his eyes to see Jesus now !! Jesus visit him and enlighten him. Cover him with your precious blood and keep him away from H,I and P, who are snatching him away from our Christian faith, prayers and Godly ways. Help Jesus come to my son’s rescue. Resurrect him from these Ungodly friends and people. AMEN.

  66. Dear Lord,
    Thank you for helping Patrick and I sort out our relationship and to make the right decision about our future. We live in different countries. Thank you for our many blessings. In Jesus name. Amen.

  67. I’ve been praying for a friend with cancer. She was just told her cancer is completely gone and she needs no treatments. Thank you St Joseph and all those who prayed the novena . God bless you all.

  68. A couple of weeks ago, I asked for prayers for a special intention. We’re moving this summer and I was praying the novena to St. Joseph to find our dream home. On March 14, a house came on the market and we fell in love with it. On March 16, we put an offer in, got into a bidding war, and GOT THE DREAM HOUSE on March 18th! This meant we had to sell our current house sooner than we anticipated, but after 21 offers, we sold our house on my birthday (I think God really loves me!). Thank you all for your prayers, to St. Joseph for coming through, and GOD for fulfilling the desires of our hearts because He is soooooo GOOD! 🙌🏽

  69. Thank you for Pray More Novenas…I’ve prayed the St. Joseph Novena for several years now. I’ve been praying for my husband to be. Two years ago I messaged a man on the feast day of St. Joseph. This year he proposed on March 19th.

  70. Thank you, dear St. Joseph, for your intercession on behalf of my son-in-law! For a few years now he has applied for new jobs – but without success. This time I feel he was being lead through the entire employment process by your loving presence at the phone interview, in-person interview, etc. Your strength and guidance helped him to finally acquire a new position in a different locality. God is good! A true answer to prayer. MP.

  71. I prayed to St. Jossph and also attended the Novena intentions here in our country for nine consecutive days and got the job I had wished for.
    I will continue to pray Novenas and right now I am praying the Novena for Our Lady of Fatima.
    Thank you very much for Praying for Me!

    GOD Bless you and all those around you!

    Simon

  72. Thank you St Joseph, my son JMW got good news today and was offered a job at a bigger more established company. Our heartfelt GRATITUDE & we continue to pray for his success so he can eventually soon join us here in AU.

    Father of the fatherless, pray for us. Thank you for ever keeping us in your intercessions to Our Lord Jesus
    Amen

  74. I prayed the St Joseph Novena together with my family praying for my dad’s recovery as the doctors couldn’t identify his disease. He is now doing fine.

  75. Thank you for praying for my son Curt, today he got good news, a promotion in his job.

    Please pray for him to be free from all temptations.

    Thank you.

  76. My family had a safe and wonderful destination wedding
    My Husband’s employment is not an issue anymore
    My daughter has the vacation time approved for another family celebration
    My other daughter’s health is not a worry
    God is good all the time

  77. All praise and glory to you almighty God and father! Thank you St. Joseph for interceding on my behalf. For years both my son and daughter had struggled with employment insecurity. Contacts, term and part time positions for the past 20 years …. Today, just days after the St Joseph novena, both my children have been offered full time positions! Praise God for all His many Blessings! And thank you St. Joseph for your constant faithfulness and intercession! Praise God, father, son and Holy Spirit!🙏💕

  78. I implored Saint Joseph to locate a new home in the favorite areas my wife and I were searching.
    These particular areas are very hard to come by; they are extremely desirable. As soon as a property comes onto the selling market, it’s gone that same day!
    Well, the last day of the the novena, I told my Catholic friends I was expecting a miracle from Saint Joseph. They exclaimed: “Absolutely!”
    5 hours later my real estate agent sent me an email concerning a Condominium that just came out on the market. It is located in the area my wife and I have been searching high and low for.
    Two days from the last day of Saint Joseph’s Novena the seller took our offer!

    Thank you Sacrosant Trinity!
    Thank you Saint Joseph and Mother Mary!
    Thank you, John-Paul and Annie!
