St. Joseph Novena Prayer
Who Was St. Joseph?
Saint Joseph stands as an exceptional example of a man chosen by God to participate in the mystery of Incarnation. He set an excellent example for masculinity, chastity, purity, hard work and justice – qualities which also made him an outstanding husband to Mary and father of Jesus.
He held faith that was as simple and childish as any. Humble in spirit, he accepted his weighty duties as Lord of his family without striving to be perfect; rather, God chose him for this job.
He was a humble carpenter by trade, yet made sure that his family had everything they needed.
He would pray often and always kept his promise when it came to providing Mary with an ideal upbringing.
Once Joseph and Mary were wed, an angel instructed him to take care of Mary’s unborn baby, the Son of God.
Although initially hesitant about taking on this responsibility, once told of its significance he readily agreed.
Joseph helped protect Mary and the baby until it came time for them to flee Egypt for safety from King Herod’s slaughter of children.
He strengthened his faith during this period and served as an example of humility and obedience by following the angel’s instructions, even if that meant leaving behind everything he owned.
Joseph received another angelic visit when Jesus was born and was told his child would become God’s son. Joseph and Mary immediately fled to Egypt until it was safe for them to return to Galilee.
The Gospels report that Jesus was an extraordinary individual with great compassion and chastity. He would do whatever it took to protect his wife and unborn baby even at the risk of his own life.
Joseph is widely revered as the Patron Saint of Teenagers; his example provides hope to young people everywhere.
When to Say the Saint Joseph Novena
The Saint Joseph Novena is an effective way of praying that, when said at least once daily for nine days, can grant your wishes and prayers. This powerful ritual provides an effective means of praying for specific intentions or celebrating Saint Joseph Feast Day (March 19th).
Novenas are also a wonderful way of remembering Saint Joseph as Jesus’ earthly father and Mary’s husband, as well as an opportunity to show our appreciation for all the good fortune we’ve been granted in life.
Novenas can be an effective way to make significant spiritual or personal commitments, or help those in need. You may choose to recite one during times when life challenges you.
If you are having difficulties with money or employment, making an appeal to Saint Joseph Novena can be an effective way to reach out for assistance from Him.
He is widely seen as being patron for those enduring financial issues; particularly helpful for those trying to get out of debt as well as those trying to fund school tuition fees.
An additional way to observe Saint Joseph Feast Day is to purchase and wear a scapular. Scapulars symbolize devotion and protection for Saint Joseph and are worn as reminders to follow in his footsteps and practice purity.
Traditionally, young people and those seeking a spiritual life often wear scapulars to remind themselves that God loves and guides us all and to trust him with all aspects of their lives.
Scapulars are an effective way of remembering Saint Joseph as both Jesus’ earthy father and guardian and husband, and as someone committed to living a life of purity and holiness like Saint Joseph was.
Joseph, The Father of Jesus, The Christ
Saint Joseph is the earthly father of Jesus and thus an extremely influential heavenly figure. As our primary intercessor and intercessor with God for any difficult situations we find ourselves in, he should always be our go-to patron when seeking relief from him.
He was an influential early Church figure, with several of his feasts still celebrated today. Although best-known for marrying Mary, Saint Nicholas also distinguished himself as an example of holy living.
His life was one of exceptional service to others. He knew exactly what God expected of him and followed in that direction – providing an ideal example of Jewish morality and righteousness.
As soon as Mary told him she was pregnant, Joseph hesitated before accepting Mary as his wife; but, listening to the angel’s instructions and acting accordingly.
Later when it became evident that people wanted to harm Jesus, Joseph followed their advice by fleeing with Mary and their child to Egypt in accordance with what the angel had outlined for them.
He eventually returned home with his family. Throughout Nazareth, his life served as an inspirational model, leading the people there to work harder themselves and follow in his footsteps.
St. Joseph is known as a patron for numerous causes, including the universal Church, fathers and social justice issues. Additionally, he serves as patron for those dying. St. Joseph Day falls on March 19 and commemorates his marriage to Virgin Mary while another celebration takes place May 1.
How to Say the Novena Prayer
Novena Prayer to Saint Joseph is an effective way to spend nine days praying and reflecting. Most often performed during Feast of the Sacred Heart, but can also be said any time throughout the year.
Novena prayer can be an effective means of seeking God’s assistance and His blessings, including interceding on your behalf or answering prayers that you have. A novena can also be used to ask a saint to grant wishes or prayers that come your way.
What to Include in the St Joseph Novena Prayer
Novenas are powerful prayers recited over a set period. Novenas offer the chance to pray for specific intentions or receive divine favor in this way, providing an effective way to access spiritual graces available through saintly prayers.
One popular novena prayer is the Saint Joseph Novena, which must be said daily with faith and humility in order to be effective. For maximum effectiveness, repeat it nine consecutive days until results become evident.
As part of your Novena devotions to St. Joseph, it is advised to make some additional offerings – perhaps saying an extra prayer, attending Mass or helping out at a holy hour – in his honor.
This devotion carries with it a partial indulgence if practiced over thirty days and completed with receiving of Sacraments. This makes an excellent offering to souls in Purgatory who often need extra prayers or assistance.
St Joseph The Worker
Saint Joseph was a carpenter by trade during his life, making him an invaluable intercessor for those working in trades or helping them secure employment or find jobs. This makes Saint Joseph an invaluable ally to those involved with trades or seeking work opportunities.
He is a revered patron of workers, and this novena is an excellent way to ask him for assistance. Recite this prayer either on behalf of yourself or someone else to protect against potential hazards of work.
At the end of the day, we hope that following these tips can help you find an answer to your prayer. If any additional advice is required, be sure to reach out either here on the blog or through one of our social media channels.
