St. Joseph Comments
Everything we know about the husband of Mary and the foster father of Jesus comes from Scripture and that has seemed too little for those who made up legends about him. We know he was a carpenter, a working man, for the skeptical Nazarenes ask about Jesus, "Is this not the carpenter's son?" (Matthew 13:55). He wasn't rich for when he took Jesus to the Temple to be circumcised and Mary to be purified he offered the sacrifice of two ... Continue Reading

Dear St Joseph, thank you for praying for my case to Jesus. Prayers answered and the friendship between C and I was not only strengthened, but also improved especially through the meet-up we had. Thank You Lord Jesus for answering my prayers through the intercessions of St Joseph also.
The Prayer to St Joseph
Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.
Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for Me.
Amen

Dear St. Joseph,
I ask your prayers for my husband. He has been looking for a good job. I am anxious for our family financially and for my husband's peace of mind. He wants to find work that will give him a sense of accomplishment and the ability to support our family. He has come close before but nothing has worked out. Please help remove this stress from our lives. Thank you!
Dear St. Joseph, as I write to you, lighten my heavy heart and gladden me, I'm journeying for the past 2 years with my aged mother who is 94 years old. She has become so frail, so tired and so weak, it is difficult for her and for us to witness this condition, for she was always hale, hearty and healthy. Help me give thanks to God for the good, healthy and prayerful years that she lived. Now, as she lies on her deathbed, I implore you, dear, loving and protective saint to stay at her side, never to leave her. May she be accompanied by Mother Mary and you when she presents her soul to Jesus. My wish is to be by her bedside when this holy moment happens. St. Joseph, patron of a holy death answer my prayers. Amen.
As a father I feel a humble closeness/connection to St Joseph. I often pray to him for guidance, support and protection of my family. I wish there was more information available on his life and Joys and Sorrows. His faith and trust in God are so inspiring, his life dedicated to the care and protection of his family. I wish I had the faith to let go of my fears and allow God to guide my life as he did St Joseph. Thank you for posting this information.
Go Joesph!
Thanks for the article. I'm having confirmation soon, and I picked him. This site has made me feel more comfortable with my choice, and I can finish my report. Saint Joseph is really someone to look up to. THANKS!
Dear St Joseph,
You have granted us many great favours, through our jobs and finding a secure family home. You have seen us struggling through times when we have had no food and can't pay rent with a baby to feed, yet you have always helped us through. Through your interventions and through the love of Jesus, your Son, we have now stablised. Our trials have made us stronger and have proven our love for one another. We know we will still experience these trials from time to time but we are always thankful we have each other. Thank you for being a big presence in our lives.
You know we are moving back to Belfast next month and I hope you will help us with our application for a rental property (the last move we want before we hopefully buy our own in home the future). St Joseph, we are a young struggling family like many others. We display our love to one another daily and we hope you will show your love to us once more.
Please help us get the house we viewed today, to fill it with love, children's laughter and live like your Holy Family.
Forever hopeful, loving and thankful.

Please most Holy Proctector- I know you never fail. Please come to my aid in present trouble and I will honour you all my life. Thankyou St Joseph.
O Good St.Joseph, Foster Father of Jesus, Patron Saint of Home and Family, Please intercede with Jesus on our behalf, and ask him to grant us the humble petition. We have many happy memories of our home, but it is time to move on. We ask that he find another family who will love and cherish this home as we have. We Thank St.Josephh for presenting our request.
I went through many turbulent times since the year 2001, I was not religious before that, desperately I stood before the Statue of St. Joseph, lighting a candle I poured out my mind to him without knowing how to pray and he delivered me out of my troubles over a period of time.
He made me to turn towards the Lord. Thank you St. Joseph.
St. Joseph you are the patron of families. My family has been struggling financially, emotionally and I feel my husband and I are finally being affected physically. After our marriage in 08, everything for us has gone downhill; We've lost income, our marriage has caused estrangement between my husband and his sons, our marriage has suffered emotionally and now our home is in foreclosure. It almost feels as if we've been cursed. It's all so overwhelming. Each year together is more and more difficult. Please help us. You kept your family together; loved and protected them. You worked to provide your family a home. Please help us do the same.
Unlike most requests to help sell homes, lease protect us from a house sale. Please guide and help us with a loan modifcation and lower mortgage so that we can KEEP our home. Thank you.
Thank you St Joseph for your help. :D
Thank you St. Joseph through your intercession, I found a job recently.
St. Joseph, thank you very much for answering my prayers and for your intercession. I was selected for the position and received a job offer. Thank you very much God the Father Almighty and Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank You St. Joseph for listening to me in my times of need and for protecting those that I love!
