  1. I prayed for my niece to stay pregnant from 26 weeks until 28 weeks gestation little Oliver was born on St. Joseph feast day healthy at 3.3lbs. Praise God!!@!

  2. Praise GOD!
    I was praying for positive change in our company through the intercession of St. Joseph and it has finally happened and I know that more good things are still coming through his Intercession.
    All Glory to Jesus.

  3. I suppose I never think any more after I pray a novena.. I leave any petitions in Gods hands… But on reading other answered prayers I realise how many of my prayers have indeed been answered … Thank you St Joseph.

  4. I had a friend who owed me money and I prayed about it and he has fulfilled his part I thank God. I am still praying for I need God to help me win over a lady’s heart whom I have strong feelings for and I would be very happy if she became mine for life. I am really praying. Thankyou

  5. Glory to God in the Highest Peace and Goodwill to men. I also started praying the St Josephs Novena and when it started i had already committed to praying a series of Novenas in order to get breakthrough in my financial needs, debts and devilish attacks that seem to hinder my success and well being , also had setbacks my relationships don’t last and nothing seemed to be working. I have been failing to meet up with my financial obligations thus the need to storm the heavens /.. so when I started the St Josephs Novena i was already on the fourth day of the Rita Novena..and the Feat of St Josephs usually on the 19th March is my daughters Birthday and she also had been praying it and requesting for a laptop and her material needs..so after the Novena on 19th April ,which we couldn’t celebrate as a family..however friends and relatives bought her gifts amd made her happy. Most importantly though immediately after 7 days after finishing the Novenas I had the opportunity to have an audience with the Queen of Swaziland( very rare opportunity and it was without appointment as one has to make one) wherein i explained all my troubles and challenges and she promised to ensure that I am promoted to a better paying job and one that I deserve, and that my financial troubles will be sorted as well. Good people we serve a a wonderful working God. He knows the secrets of a heart and that my family and I will once again live a fruitful and fulfilling lifestyle. and our destiny will be achieved. St Josephs foster father of Jesus thank-you for interceding for me and ensuring that I live longer.

  21. My special intention for the St. Joseph novena was to find a way to pay for my children’s school and be able to provide for them in general and I was offered a new position at work that will almost double my salary.

Thanks to everyone for praying for St. Joseph’s intercession on my behalf. God is good!
