Why Pray a Novena?

A novena is said for nine successive days: it can be an effective means of gaining a favorable intercession on your behalf. Saying a Novena to St Joseph can be an effective way to get what you are asking for. Say these prayers for nine days in a row.

With the utmost care, St. Joseph entrusts his son with our intentions. Don't forget that he is calmly waiting to take care of your needs!

I wish I could persuade everyone to be devoted to glorious St Joseph, for I do not remember to this day ever having asked him for anything that he didn't grant me. I only request, for the love of God, whoever will not believe me will test the truth of what I say. - St. Teresa of Avila
