  1. Since being born on February 1 (a month early), my newborn baby girl has been in NICU with a host of health problems. An immeasurable amount of health care professionals have examined my sweet Charlotte, and for six weeks, we were given over and over again the answer of “I don’t know” by all of these doctors and nurses. While saying this novena, a medical diagnosis of congenital myotonic dystrophy was finally made. Thank you, God, for hearing our prayers and finally giving us an answer to what will be a life-long affliction for my baby girl. With your strength, she will be able to live a long, happy, and healthy life. Thank you for guiding our path. Amen.

  2. My life was in turmoil. My prayers to St Joseph have already shown me some of the answers I need. I will keep praying to him.

  3. I always pray for the happiness of my daughter and her family. My prayers are always answered as they continue to enjoy God’s grace through my prayers, rosary, and the intersession of the saints. May God always bless each and every one of you!

  4. Imagine my husband now plays gospel only in his car. To me this is. Answered prayer. My son has really improved in school too. Igive glory to God.
    I pray that God will bless my family to be devout followers of christ. I also got a promotion this week. Also some deliverance from some grudges. I give glory to God mother mary His saints for their intercession.

  5. Thanks to everyone praying this beautiful novena to St. Joseph.
    This was a beautiful day for our family. My husband, Robert, who passed away a year ago had great devotion to St. Joseph. He was his “buddy” in all of his building and woodworking projects. I got a St. Joseph, the worker statue, and it was placed in the Cathedral of the Risen Christ Church garden and blessed today, on the feast of St. Joseph. My family, my nieces, their families and some friends joined us for the blessing on this beautiful morning. Thank you, St. Joseph, for always interceding for us.

    Peace & Prayers,

  6. Today, i was called for a job offer. Thank you Lord God Almighty, Thank you my Lord Jesus Christ and Thank you Blessed Saint Joseph for your prayers and intercession. As this novena comes to an end, i pray that the rest of my prayer request will be granted in Jesus Name.Amen

  7. Thank you Jesus Mary and Joseph and all the Saints Angeles for intercedeing and be being there for ne. I want thank my nephew is trying to be a better person and things are working out for him but he has a long way yet to go, please continue to guide him on the right path. Amen

  8. I have been making the novena to St Joseph as my son had been out of full time work for 4 years, on Friday he text me to tell me he starts a full time job on Monday St Joseph’s feast day. His name is also Joseph and he has been working as a part time carpenter. Thank you St Joseph for answering prayers

  9. Thank you to St. Joseph for hearing one of my prayer intentions. I had prayed for peace in my family, especially since we were all gathering for a meal, and St. Joseph helped that happen. Not only did things run smoothly, but my very impatient husband, was incredibly calm and understanding and did not fly off the handle! Everyone got along very well and there were no conflicts.
    Thank you St. Joseph! ( and Mary too!)

  10. I requested more financial security and immediately during the novena more business started coming my way. I thank God for all of our blessings.

  11. My family and I have recently taken up the practice of choosing a patron saint for our family each New Year’s Day. This year, we chose St. Joseph, so his Novena took on a special significance for us this year.

    My husband had applied for a new job position within his company. He had become dissatisfied with the work he was doing and was very interested in this new position. On the third day of praying this Novena, he received the news that he had gotten the job. Thank you, St. Joseph, for your intercession on our behalf!

  12. I’ve been praying these “pray more novenas” for about a year. I know God answers all prayers. I’ve been praying for many years to be able to forgive my husband of all the little hurts that build up over the years resulting in my resentment. I’ve not known how to “let go.” I believe that praying through a man, a father, like St. Joseph, and especially during this Lenten season, I have experienced little miracles of healing and forgiveness, not only with my husband, but with my sons. These miracles came after resisting the devil’s tactics to thwart the efforts of forgiveness and mercy. Believe me….I have fought the devil this Lent! But through the intercession of our great saints, like St. Joseph, and through Jesus and Mary, who have triumphed over the devil, we can and will prevail.

  13. I received blessings from St Joseph in my novena. I have gotten projects that will help sustain my family in the next month and good laboratory results of my grandmother. Thank you St Joseph.

  14. Thankful that my grown son passed his kidney stone so he could continue to care for his young family. He has missed to much work lately because of illness.

  15. Thank you Saint Joseph for Jason’s promotion.

    Thank you for being with us during the difficult time of Jason’s work. His hard work finally pays off.

    Thank you for your prayers and intercessions. In Jesus name I pray and I give thanks. Amen

  16. I prayed that my husband’s bladder biopsy and colonoscopy would be clear from Cancer and we got good news. No Cancer. Thank you St Joseph

  17. Thank you Annie for all the wonderful prayers. The prayers have been a blessing to me and my family.

    The prayers have taught me how to pray to God. My prayer life have improved . Thank you and God Bless you.

    Below is my story…. It true

    I can’t recall the day or year but I was probably 3 or 4 years of age. I woke up in the middle of the night and there was this ghostly figure in the bedroom I shared with my sisters . The ghost had resembled the image of my dad and was dressed in a black suit.

    It was tossing a ball up and down saying “throw a ball, throw a ball”. I was peeping through the blackets when another child walked through the door (without opening it). There was the adult ghost, 3 kids ghost, bird perching on the ceiling etc. That is all I remember.

    Before I could scream the ghost came to where I was sleeping, I was numb couldnt scream, move etc. and put a sign of my right side of the belly.

    The next thing I remember is waking up in the morning.

    My parents were very strict and tough. I was in fear and I decided never to disclose this to anyone but all through I knew something was wrong and when i had the means would sort help.

    My life changed from then whenever was alone in the house, I would turn on loud music, start jumping. I would fold anything e.g pieces of clothes etc into ball and begin jumping. I would jump to the extent of not attending to my chores,delay in work, sleeping late etc.

    This happened till I was 26 years of age. My life and that of my immediate family was full of problems we couldn’t explain such as;
    1. Difficult getting jobs- mind you we are very educated.
    2. Mistreatment in work.
    3. Financial difficulties.
    4. Not getting married.
    5. Being hated or mistreated by others etc.
    6. Always whining etc.
    7. I would get raped at night by demons . I would wake up feeling pain in my genitals.
    8. Scary dreams.
    9. Sleep paralysis etc

    An incident happened in the year 2015 all because of God Almighty.

    It was disclosed to me that I was possed by demons that why I kept jumping.
    The ghost image I saw was a demon.
    The difficulties I was undergoing through was as a result of this.

    In short my aunt had bewitched us because she hated my mother. She wanted my mother to be always in sorrow. She was also very bitter because my parents had educated all of us.

    The solution was to pray to God with faith. It was only by faith that I would be healed and my family also.

    I started praying asap. The devil would attack me at night, I would get strangled, raped, sleep paralysis etc.

    On my side of the belly I would feel the demons moving.

    I continued praying. In all the prayers I prayed asking God to protect me from these demons and the knots which were tied to be untied.

    Believe me, the attack reduced , got a job with peace of mind, all the financial difficulties I had diminished, my family is in unity. I started getting attracted to men before no one had interest in I.

    I warned my parents, siblings about my aunt. I asked and pleaded with them to pray to Almighty God for our rescue.

    They believed in me and we have been constantly praying since then for God to have mercy on us. Indeed God have been good to us.

    Please pray for my sisters and I to get spouses. The knots/ obstacles tied to be untied in Jesus name.

    Based on what I went through I can testify that Jesus Christ is Lord and rescue people from all sort of hardships.

    Be blessed abundantly for these wonderful prayers.
    You may not know, but you are a blessing to me.
    God bless you and all those who pray these prayers trusting In God.

    Current relationship and lead me to being a holy wife. I pray too that the heart of my partner is healed so that we may love again.

  19. Our daughter has had at least five false pregnancies, miscarriages, and etopic pregnancies in the past five years. My novena was for her and her husband to get pregnant and have a safe and normal pregnancy and delivery. Yesterday they told us she was seven weeks pregnant. This is the first time she was able to tell us she was pregnant without having to say that she lost the baby. Sonogram was normal and we are beyond excited.

We fervently prayed to St. Charbel not knowing that was the saint he is devoted to. When he went in for surgery, they miraculously were able to remove half the lung, remove the cancer from that piece and reattach it. He was just hospitalized with pain on that lung and difficulty breathing. As soon as I found out about it I prayed my novena to St. Joseph asking that he pray for my son. A little while later my son’s breathing improved and when they did the blood works for cancer and the CT scan everything was good and was discharged.
