Prayer Requests

josephcatIf you are in need of any assistance in your life,
if you need a strong and firm hand to guide you in your affairs,
if you seek the wisdom of a holy man in the midst of sins and mistakes,
if you are selling or buying a house,
if you have a loved one approaching death or are terminally ill yourself,

turn to St. Joseph with trust!

I will entrust to him your needs in my daily prayer…

God you be able to do all things. you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. please make this miracle happen for me

  3. Dear Saint Joesph “The Worker”, I come to you in a time of great need and distress. My mothers is currently ill with severe back pain (two bulging discs; one in the lower back and another in her neck). The doctor said that operating doesn’t appear to be an option and it is difficult for her to function daily without being in severe pain. Please Saint Joesph, ask God to provide my mother with some relief to her pain if a complete healing is not possible.
    Also, Saint Joesph I come to you with a second issue: we are at risk to losing our home. In order to remain in our apartment we would have to reapply again and even if we are approved, we would still have to move out so that they can renovate the unit we currently reside in. We are not financially able to move out; such as hire movers to move our things. Nor do we have any family or friends that we can turn to for help. Please Saint Joesph, you and the Holy Family as well as all the Archangels, Angels and Saints up above are our only recourse. In Jesus name I pray you ask God to deliver us from this situation; to find a solution to our problems. Amen and thank you for your help.

  4. In the name of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; I ask Saint Joseph to please ask God to heal my mother. She is constantly in pain because of the pinched nerve in her lower back. This causes her to have difficulty walking, sleeping and even just enjoying life. Please in Jesus name ask Him to allow the Holy Spirit to rain down upon her and heal the pinched nerve in her back. Please heal her so she won’t have to endure another surgery (we cannot really afford another hospital bill at this time). Please Saint Joseph and all the heavenly host, by your grace heal the pinched nerve in mother’s back so she can live, and walk and sleep without anymore pain. Amen.

  5. Pray for me to get back my usurped property. Repose of souls of Ms. Victoria Conceisao, Mr. Aleixo Silva, Sr. Mary Claire, Sr. Mary Beatrice, Fr. Olivio Miranda and Fr. Antonio Rodrigues.

  6. SAINT JOSEPH:
    1) Please pray: So that I know how to quickly repay all my credits, debts, bills, taxes, fees, medical, paramedical, drug costs and so that my family Anaïs, Alexandre, Tatsiana and me André, we find our life of before: good health, ease, financial, material, spiritual abundance by continuing to be generous, charitable with love, kindness, wisdom, humility and sharing. 2) Please pray for me André: So that the truth and my innocence are established because taking advantage of my distress and my state of health and financial, a colleague slanders me seriously and maliciously to harm me, harm my reputation and so that I lose my job. That the horrible, villainous, ignominious and abject slanders and lies, of my colleague, be discovered and revealed to all so that I do not have disciplinary sanctions and that I keep my job.

  7. Dear Saint Joseph, please pray for the continued well-being and success of my family and our business. Please intercede to God on our behalf and ask Him to let His Holy Spirit to shine down and surround us with Grace so that our business may be financially successful and we will have the finances to survive (as well as buy supplies for our business to continue). In God’s name I pray. Oh Saint Joseph and the Holy Family please hear my prayers! Amen

  8. Dear Heavenly Father and Blessed Saint Joseph please pray for my mother. She is having a difficult time at work with certain individuals who continue to harass her. Also, my mother, brother and I have a family business that we recently opened to try and make some extra money. Please help us to increase our business and to become successful. If it is God’s will, please provide us with a financial blessing so that we can afford to but a house. We run our business out of our small apartment and we are running out of space as well as money. We require better equipment that we cannot afford to purchase at this time. A financial blessing would surely help to benefit us at this time because we are currently paying for the business expenses out of our personal savings that is starting to run low. Also, my mother has been sick lately and this makes money even more tighter. We have had to recently turn to food stamps to be able to afford food. Please Saint Joseph; intercede to God for my family and ask Him to come to our aid and deliver us from our burdens. Lord hear my prayer. Amen.

  9. Please pray for repose of souls of Ms. Victoria Conceisao, Sr. Mary Beatrice,  Sr. Mary Celine, Fr. Olivio Miranda and Fr. Antonio Rodrigues.

  14. My family and I did the 30 day St Joseph prayer together. It was a beautiful thing bringing everybody together even though we are in different parts of the world. I am first year PhD student and my first year has been really tough. It has been an emotional rollercoaster. Last semester I really struggled, but this semester was different. I did have some obstacles this semester, but I never gave up. My family and I did the 30 day prayer and prayed to finish strongly with the current semester. For one of my class I was borderline passing. I recently got my grades back, not only did I pass my course, but I passed the final with an A. Also got an A in another class. This is all thanks to St. Joseph. He gave me more than I asked for. He was with me every step of the way. I am very appreciative and I give all my thanks and love to him!! He works miracles.

  15. Dearest Sister Kathryn,
    I fell in love with St. Joseph and I really need his help. I believe it was Holy Mary directing me to Her Beloved. I trust him yet I am scared. I am turning to him for almost a year now praying few times a day to him so he helps me as I know God listens to him. 2019 was very hard for me, I forgot how to enjoy life and smile. I am begging you to join me in begging St. Joseph to get my Mum healed from cancer and the love of my life to come back to me to build our family as we once dreamed about.

  21. Dear Sister,

    I am in great need of prayer to St. Joseph to help sell our home. We did a very risky thing which at the time did not seem as bad. My husband and I are retired and found a “perfect”house so we decided to use our retirement saving to purchase it while selling the one we are currently in. Now our current house has not sold and if it doesn’t over the next 2 weeks we could lose our savings, My concern is also for my husband who can’t sleep and I fear may become ill over this. .Please pray for us.

  23. Dear Sister,
    I am praying to St Joseph to ask him that the man I had met, Carlos, comes back to me…I have been praying all my life to meet someone like this. I am almost 46 and had an unhappy mariage (there was a declaration of nullity by the Catholic Church). He liked me a lot, but then, a woman he had had a relationship with him and a child with him, asked him to be together. She had left him for another man for a year and a half (not married by the Church). He knows I am a devout Catholic and faithful and he had agreed about the chastity until mariage. But that woman took him from me…I am so sad, often cannot sleep…Today I finish my third novena to St Joseph. The first one has been one of 31 days. Carlos is a believer, but does not practice his faith, just a little…But he agreeed to go to Medjugorje…and I know Our Lady would convert him there…That woman is an atheist and may be unfaithful to him again…He told me “we have to stop our relationship for the moment”…He left me some hope…But she put the pressure on him with the child…just the week we were going to meet on real life (it was through Internet, but I know he was telling the truth to me…we had talked so much). Please, pray for this….Please.

    Thanks so much,

    Anna

My husband is 67 years old and we want to retire. He has to keep working in order to pay the mortgage we still have. Our home is very large which holds many memories of our 5 children that once lived here and now we need a much smaller home now and no mortgage. Therefore St. Joseph, please intercede on our behalf and ask Jesus to bring us good news today. We also ask for your interession on where we need to move as well as our plans for the future. We will always honor you in our home and our new home once we get there.

Being a graphic designer has always been a dream of mine and I need a job in the field. Also my current job just doesn’t pay well and I have a pretty big amount of student loans to pay off.

  78. Please pray for me that God’s Will be done in my life as it is done in heaven. I pray and ask that God be against those who are against my wish and will to listen and abide by God’s Will and Holy Word in my life.

  79. Please pray me. My parents forsaken me and only thought themselves so that my life worse. Their cousins cheated and stole the treasure our parents. Then when my life better I usually helped my older sister financially but now she want to take over all of our family property. She will going mad when we discuss it as if we don’t have rights. She also stole the money for medical expenses from our parents. I need a lot of miracles and expenses for me, my family, and my parents.

My wife is lost and while there has been some restoration of my relationship with my children, it is still very dark. I am grateful and praise God for all that He has done so far. His will be done.

  82. Prayer request

    I am a native of Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) and I live legally here in the USA since 2012. Unfortunately, things are not working as they should and I am facing a hell of problems. I just really need some direction in my life. I’ve just sort of drifted through it never having accomplished anything noteworthy. Presently, I’m living alone here and I need a wife. Therefore, I am forwarding this prayer request through St. Joseph, my Patron Saint, for his intercession and invoke the Almighty Lord to assist me in all my undertakings in order to see my present situation changed for the better, especially my marriage with K. A. V. Presently, I’m working as an assembler in a manufacturing company but considering my age this job seems too hard for me because I work 7 days every week. In this case I have no day off to attend even the Sunday Mass. I am good in customs clearance activities for all incoming and outgoing shipments (air and surface) to include Inventory taking, packing, order pulling and assembly jobs. I pray that your prayers and mine would be accepted so that I get a job in my field as soon as possible or get assisted by a Good Samaritan to find one which I will be off on Sunday.

  86. Hello, with my husband of 45 years, we have 2 wonderfully married daughters & we are grandparents of 4 wonderful Grandchildren ages 6Yrs thru almost 2 years & I Thank God Every Day for them all !!! The Baby Rafael will be 2yrs on EASTER DAY this year!! and yet- these babies have not been baptized & are not being taken to Church by their tremendously caring, wonderful- but too modern- parents. One of our daughters, Rose Marie was BORN on March 19, of 1979 and ST. JOSEPH has ALWAYS helped HER( & me to be her Mom) Many Miracles for her from St. JOSEPH !!! Now, Rosie is the mother of our 2 little Grandsons. Before they were conceived, Rosie was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis & then after a few years, she stopped taking all her m.s. meds&drugs, so that she could become pregnant and also has stayed off all meds even now!– so that she could nurse her babies (Rafael is still not completely weaned). But still Rosie has a lot of physical problems, great weariness, and also torn un-healed abdominal muscles for the last 2 Plus years, due to such a large pregnancy with Rafael – a very BIG baby boy!!! is going to see a neurologist in Houston Tx & have more scans &tests done for the next few days. As Always, I pray to St. Joseph and will continue the NoVena to the Holy Family for Rosie’s & Tony’s improving health, especially spiritual health & FAITH, a FULL RETURN TO THEIR CATHOLIC FAITH; RE-connecting all the tissues of Rosie’s abdominal musculature, and even for their family’s ability to have more babies or to ADOPT !!! AMEN&I TOTALLY ENTRUST TO THE MERCIFUL HEARTS OF JESUS, MARY, & JOSEPH, THIS LITTLE FAMILY OF ROSIE, TONY, TOMAS & RAFAEL(& ANY OTHER CHILDREN WHO NEED THEM/ YOU WANT THEM TO HAVE) !!!
    Thank you so much for providing this St. Joseph prayer resource !!! Grandma Katie (gk)

  87. Dear St. Joseph, you have always provided my requests for employment every time I have been laid off from work. You are my Patron Saint and I now must humbly ask you to provide protection for my ex-husband during a criminal investigation in which he has been asked to testify. As father to our Holy Family, I know you understand the stress he feels to provide for our family during these uncertain times. My son and I need him, and we ask that you intercede on his behalf. Loving St. Joseph thank you for hearing our requests. Please bless Sr. Kathryn for her generous and kind heart, and for loving you and appreciating how wonderful you are!

    • The unknown is so frightening and St. Joseph often had to face the unknown, particularly in the face of Roman oppression. I will also pray with you that his strength will keep you calm and steady through this time. In all that happens I have seen over and over again that he is able to lead us to something beautiful. But we must trust.

    • I entrust your needs to St. Joseph. He would understand how frightened Mary would feel in such a situation. Tell him outright exactly what you feel and what you need and tell him to teach and guide you through this suffering. I will pray also.

  90. St. Joseph pray for us. Please intercede with your son Jesus for us. Please pray for the speedy recovery of Mr.Gladwin, the healing of my brother Barnabas Barretto and the successful completion of our financial job.

  91. We are reading all your prayer requests and are praying earnestly for all your needs. St. Joseph understands scary and difficult family situations, because he lived them himself. Tell him he must help you and trust in his intercession. I pray a novena to St. Joseph every evening and you all are included. Blessings. Sr. Kathryn

  92. Please pray for us. My family is trying to buy a house that will help us heal from a traumatic home robbery that has left everyone scarred. We need a new beginning and this will help us all heal. I humbly ask for any divine assistance.

  93. Please pray for my son who has an addition to marijuana. He has a family and soon another child will be born. I ask for his acceptance to this addiction and to receive the help he needs. Both families are willing to support him on this journey. St Joseph intercede for him and his family.

  94. Please pray for me. I was engaged to be married to a man who was lying to me about himself and his past. He told me that he was baptized, although he was not, since he knew that I would only marry a Catholic. He pretended and lied to me about multiple things. I invested so much in the relationship, that, even after I found he was lying, I tried to forgive him and patch things up, but it was really impossible. I could not make sense of any of it. Finally, he cut ties with me, after several months of fighting and arguing and unhappiness. Now I am in great pain and shock. It is a nightmare. Please pray for my healing.

  95. Please pray for me. I am in a lot of pain from the end of a relationship…an engagement that lasted three years and finally ended in disappointment. I know my fiancé was still in love with me at the time he ended it, and I was still in love with him, but we could not make it work. Please pray for both of us to be healed from our pain and grow closer to God.

  96. Please pray for healing of my bad thoughts,
    Please Pray for Peace and Joy of Holy Spirit to come for all my family members and for me.

  97. Please, pray for me that Saint Joseph intercede for me so that I could discern where should I go with my life. Please, pray for me to discern should I stay in apartment which I currently own, but I have terrible problems with the tenants from the apartment above, or should I sell it and try to find another one? Please, pray that saint Joseph guides me in these decisions and to help me to enter into a real relationship (instead of “dreaming my life away”), and to find a good husband. Thank you so much.

  98. Please pray for me and with me as I humbly ask God for blessings to please place me in Tony’s heart for love and marriage. I ask God forgive us our sins, have mercy on us, bless us and His most holy blessed will be done in our lives on earth as it is done in heaven. Blessed be God forever. Amen.

  99. My husband committed a serious crime. We learned of this crime after he suffered a severe, disabling stroke. We expect to learn the consequences for his crime this week. Unfortunately my teenage daughters and I are the innocent victims of this crime and we could lose everything. We are good people who didn’t deserve any of what we are having to face. We are very scared and sad as we face an uncertain future. Please, please pray for us.

  100. We urgently need to buy a family home. House prices and rental prices are increasing rapidly. We are looking at a house tomorrow and I am so afraid the price will rise so high that we can’t afford it. If we miss this window of opportunity, it will be very difficult to achieve our dream. We became parents late in life and have spent a lot of the past 11 years with our wonderful son. This meant having to neglect our careers and our earnings are unstable as a result. We do not regret this wonderful time but we want security for our old age and for our son. Please pray for us.

I was not the perfect husband, and I pray that He will transform my heart, and soften hers. My children are being affected, and this is a very negative situation. Please pray for intercession, I read that 51% of catholic marriages end in divorce, but those that practice their faith have an 11% divorce rate. Please allow us another opportunity, let not another marriage end in divorce. If this be God’s will, Amen

  109. Please pray for me. My wife wants a divorce, and while I do not, I have been praying novenas, prayer requesrs, mass, having masses said for marriage restoration, and everythung keeps getting worse. I am losing my faith in God, that evil wins. I read testmonies if answered prayers and read studies if how divorce affects children (thier grades have slipped).

  123. My name is Megan. I am 28 years old. I was sexually abused my entire childhood and adolescence. The thought of marriage scared me. I never wanted to get married. Ever. I never wanted to have to “give myself” to anyone. That is how I felt up until January 12th of last year. On the morning of January 12th, I woke up saying I was going to marry Joseph Morris and he was going to be my spouse. At that moment, I realized that all fear of marriage was gone and I had an immense desire for it. I know Joe from work. I see him about 16 days out of the year with the way our schedule is. Joe is kind, loving, and giving, but he doesnt believe in God. He was wounded as a child and believes that God is a mean punishing God and says that if that is what he is, then he doesnt want to believe in him. Yet he has made comments that he is jealous of people like me who have blind faith and that he wants to believe in God, but God has never given him a reason to believe. For an entire year, I have been praying for Joe and his healing and conversion. These feelings of mine have only gotten stronger and I desire marriage with him so badly. I long to serve him as if he were Jesus. I have seen many “coincidences” or “signs” in the last year which make me believe I am not crazy. I truly believe that St. Therese and our Lady have their hands in this and his conversion is just around the corner. I have been praying so hard for it that I just know God will not let me down. i guess what I am asking for is for Joe’s conversion and healing to come quickly. For him to see and believe in God and his love. For Joe to be healed from the wounds of his parents unhealthy marriage and for him to desire marriage and love, with me, as I truly believe that he is in fact my spouse. I thank God for my healing and my own conversion. I thank God for his love and his power and I thank God for putting Joe in my life and for revealing to me how much healing I have been given. Thank you so much for your prayers. Megan

  124. Vicky is currently attending classess of driving the car . She need to buy her car but the problem she don’t know how to drive on her own. If she is alone in the car, she don’t know which way to turn the car. She need God to open her mind and eyes so that she can see and think which way she can take the car. She need to know all the rules and sign of the road up and down and need to know which way to follow. She want to drive a car on her own like others people who are also driving well.

  125. Prayer Request for Rubio and Rea

    Please help us pray for Rubio and Rea’s relationship to get back on track to being the beautiful relationship it was recently. Well meaning “friends” and not so well meaning “friends” have caused serious problems between them. Also “friends” especially from the other side of the faith have been pulling Rubio back away from the light…his true faith. So that he turn back around and keep moving forward toward where he had been walking. May the truth be revealed because these things really hurt the relationship and Rea has become deeply saddened by all that has happened as have others who were strongly supporting them. May they both not hurt each other and appreciate each other as the gifts they really are to each other. And may God bring them back together soon as before but stronger so they can finish discerning. Despite the interference may they be granted a most blessed Christmas and coming New Year together.

  126. Please pray for my wife Nining (51 years old), she is sick in the back of her body (low back pain/spondylolisthesis at Lumbar). She has been suffering this pain for almost 2 years. She can not stand for a long time when the pain recurs, while I have to work to support my family, we have 2 children.

    We have tried various treatments but have not seen meaningful change. I have almost given up. With all humility I pleaded please pray that any and all disease will be permanently removed from her body and that she will be pain free.

    Lord, if I have displeased You in any way, kindly forgive me and heal my wife. The Scripture says that You have already borne our griefs and sorrows on the cross and that we are healed by Your stripes. I look up to You, my Heavenly Lord! I humbly come into your presence let Your healing hands touch my wife and heal her from all sickness, Lord, hear our prayer, Amen….

    In God’s Peace,
    Johan

  127. Iam a pregnant lady with lots of worries inside me. Iam currently not working since my family wants me to take care of my body and my baby until i get pregnant.But i used to work before.During that time I had helped one of my friend taking myself into a big risk. I took credit card in my name and i gave him money so that he will be free from his debt with bank and then later it was agreed with him that he will pay my monthly installments since he is working and also because i have given this money for him and he is liable to pay to me. Then unfortunately oru company closed the project and we all were terminated from job. He couldnt pay my debts and it got piled up. I have taken this risk without even telling my family or my husband. My husband also lost his job few months later.Now this bank is threatening me a lot. I dont have a single penny with me to pay them. The guy who is supposed to give me money got a job this November and out of his salary he paid few amount. But thats not enough. I live in foreign country and over here if i have to change my visa or go outside this country i will have a ban if this debt is not paid soon. Since iam pregnant its very much urgent that i change my visa. But now the stage is like they can even take me to jail since the debt is not cleared. The guy who is supposed to give me money said his father got plans to sell a property and once that is done immediately they can settle my debts with one time payment. But no one is coming to buy the property.Iam worried to much as days goes by. I get emails, phone calls, sms from bank threatening me like anything. Iam already tensed and i fear this will even affect baby inside my womb. I want St. Joseph to intercesede and pray for me to heavenly father and jesus christ. Please pray for me that this debt be cancelled miraculously or by any means god wishes to very soon. I cant bare it anymore. I feel like day by day iam getting weaker thinking about this. please pray for me…

I’ve been away for quite awhile and am determined to keep up visiting with you here. We do have a facebook for St. Joseph which Sr. Elizabeth keeps up-to-date. You might want to visit there and Like the page. She often leaves little prayers at night. We’ll post some here also. Visit us at : https://www.facebook.com/pages/Saint-Joseph/327232933990471

    Good night. Know you are in my prayers to St. Joseph. We entrust each other to him with the same trust Jesus had in his arms.

    Sr. Kathryn

  146. I’m in college, looking to rent a house with my friends for our senior year. Due to some unfortunate events, we could not start searching for places until later on in the season, when most of the houses were already taken. It seems we cannot find anything now, except for a house being sold by an unruly lawyer, whom we have been warned about. Please, St. Joseph, help us to find a house quickly! This is added stress to an already hectic school semester, and we just need the assurance that we won’t be homeless next year. Thank you.

  147. Selling my house would bring welcome change into my life. Change I believe I need. I’ve listed it and then found a problem with the roof which I fixed though it cost more money than I had. I’m at a point now where all my savings and all my credit is invested in this house. The welcome change would be to sell and buy something more affordable. The welcome change would be to not have to worry about all the payments I barely make, and sometimes don’t make. The welcome change would be to start somewhere new and leave some old memories and an old life behind. The welcome change would be to start anew. I’ve given a friend a St Joseph statue before after trying to sell for a year and a half and my prayer for her was answered. I brought a statute home for myself and placed in my flowerbed out front but find the praying for myself harder to do. I feel selfish to ask, yet deserving of the change I believe I need. Will you pray for me? Thank you with love, Brenda

  149. The most important thing is faith…pray for me Father Joseph, for my family, for my in-laws, my parents who I owe so much. For a career with potential so I can care for my family as God intended. Pray for me Saint Joseph that I always give thanks and run to God even in the most trying times. Amen

  154. Please pray for me. I really,really need help. After eight years of battling with alcoholism and depression, I’m trying to get my life back, but everything seems so grey and empty now. I feel, I don’t have any purpose to live anymore. I feel lost and in despair now. Heavenly Father, please, enlighten me and show my way in life. Help me to find the job I like, the place I wish to live and please, give me the purpose to live. Also, please pray for my mother Dana, recently she had a stroke and very ill now. Father, please take care of my mother and help her to recover.
    Thank you

    • Hi Tim, My heart goes out to you because I know the intense pain that people struggle with… who are dealing with addictions and depression. I am praising God for the grace and blessing that in this very moment, you are sober and searching for God’s plan for your life. 🙂 That is just so very miraculous and awesome.!!!
      I am also asking Saint Dymphna, Saint Therese, Saint Philomena, Saint Bernadette, and Saint Rita ( my prayer warriors) as well as your guardian Angels to join in with Saint Joseph and Our Lady in their daily prayers for you. When we long to find the purpose in our life, perhaps the best place to start is by Praising God for every blessing we can find in our day, our lifetime, and then by simply doing what you are doing now for your mom… praying for others. Guilt, despair and shame? Those are all tools the devil uses to try and reign us in to his way of thinking and acting. Each time one of those tools rears it’s ugly head say a quick prayer from the heart (sincere) for someone else. Begin by praying for those who need healing in some form, and then for those who have hurt you, those You have hurt, and especially those you don’t even like. This way; whether we have missed the mark on what our purpose is or not, we will still have made a meaningful impact on the lives of so many others. Be assured that I will offer my Rosary today for you and your mother Dana. God Bless you both.

  155. Dear St. Joseph, please pray for me that I may find a solution on how to pay my financial obligations with the high school I studied in. I have a balance of 60,000 pesos (about $2000). It was only through God’s grace that I was able to be admitted in the university despite the lack of documentary requirements needed to enroll. Dear St. Joseph, I am not asking for wealth, but for some visible help and relief from heaven. I need it by the end of March.

    I also pray, dear St. Joseph, for the relationship of L. and K., as well as M. and J.

    I know you can help me. St. Joseph, with Jesus and Mary, pray for me, and come to my aid!

  156. Dear Sr. Kathryn,

    Thank you for your offer of prayer. I would like to ask for a prayer for our marriage, so that it would not end in a divorce. I am so troubled, yet relieved to be able to ask for help.

    Thank you and God bless.

  157. I often experience ontological loneliness and I hate it. Sometimes my life seems meaningles and shit. It’s tough being a human. Help!!!!!

  158. I ask for prayer’s to be approved and then purchase a house for my family. My husband will be applying on Monday. We need a home to raise our children in that is safe, sound and well made. I ask for the paperwork to fall into the hands of the correct people. so it will be approved and we will be blessed with a home of our own.

  159. I gave an interview yesterday and am awaiting the results please pray that i get the job cause after being jobless for almost a year i really need this job as there are not many jobs in the market please pray that i get selected and get an adequate salary that will enable me to clear my debts and support my family

  160. PLEASE, PRAY for the SAVING and STRENGTHENING of Our MARRIAGE! My dear husband and I were married in August 2013, and he separated from November 2013, seeking divorce! We met through Our Lady, Queen of the Holy Angels, are practicing Catholics and had a misunderstanding blown out of proportion. Our challenges are completely reconcilable. We both intend well and have helped each other grow in grace. Please, pray my husband accepts and loves me as his wife, reconciling with me to save and strengthen our marriage…. I love him so deeply. PLEASE, URGENTLY pray for the SAVING and STRENGTHENING of our once-grace-filled and very beautiful marriage, as it is IN the courts. We have court on Feb. 21. How exponentially horrible!

    • Hi am in a stressful work environment which I believe is causing health concerns. St Anthony please guide me if I should retire, seek alternative employment or if conditions will change for better; that I did not fail loved ones before they passed. Thank you.

  176. Father Joseph please help my mother and me for this most troubled times we are having during our times of old age. We are losing our small room. We couldn’t afford the rents outside so the only solution please help us to get the home we bid on. Have the owner agree on our offer. Bless her and my family . Amen

    • Dear Sr. Kathryn, I am still waiting the graces from heaven. Christmas is coming , The lady is not selling the room that worries me ,that one good day she will sell and the room will be more costly……then I couldn’t afford. Even the room got lots of mice but its better than no roof. What we need is turn our land into cash……that will save us the rest of our lives, but no buyers yet that is why I am praying to St. Joseph , he too was looking for a roof over Mary so she can give birth to our Lord. In modern time it was not about turning you away but its about how much you can afford.
      Thank you so much in replying , for even in that dark night there still a hand to reach out spiritually. Mary

  178. Dear St. Joseph – I BEG you to please restore and further my relationship with JS very soon. I so badly want him to truly be a part of my life. I think about him all the time and I’m not sure if he ever even thinks about me or cares. Please, send me a sign that he does care & that God has brought him into my life for a positive reason. God has put him so strongly in my heart and I have developed a deep love for him. I miss him so much. I have tried to reach out to him in love and kindness without any response. Please ask God to somehow make J realize that I’m the kind of girl he’s been looking for and that I will love him and care for him if he’ll let me. Please ask God to fill J’s heart with love for me and move him to email me within the next few days.

    Sr. Kathryn – this is so very important to me. I have never felt so strongly about another person in my life. Please join your prayers with mine in hopes that as a first step, J will email me with a kind message within the next few days – this feels like it will take a miracle to happen at this point, but I believe that miracles are possible. Please also pray that my efforts to help him in his career will finally come to fruition and some of the opportunities I’ve tried to help create for him will become available for him. Thank you for your prayers, Sr. Kathryn. And thank you to St. Joseph for his intercession.

  179. Sr. Kathryn – I so desperately need your help. The only thing I have ever really wanted to be in my life is a wife and mother – ever since I was a child! In fact, all throughout my life, when situations have come about that I know are immoral and against God, I have chosen to do the “right” thing not only because I did not want to go against God but specifically because I always thought that one day when I am blessed to have children, and similar situations arise in their own lives, I could guide them by example. So in a way, I’ve tried to live my life according to what is right by God with the idea that I could one day raise my own children to follow him as well without being hypocritical. I am now 32 years old. I have never even had a serious relationship – no one to even give me a chance. And I’ve tried so hard to be someone that I think God would be happy with while also trying to attract someone to love me. No one has ever even remotely acted interested in me. I’m not the most beautiful person on the outside, but I am not ugly and I do have a decent level of confidence in my appearance. I try to look and dress stylishly & attractively while still maintaining modesty. I have recently lost 30 pounds and am trying to lose more weight – I am not terribly overweight, but I’m not skinny either & never have been. And besides, I don’t think any of that should matter more than the person that I am and the love I have to offer someone. But somehow, I can’t help but feel like appearance matters more than I would hope and that no matter how confident I feel about myself, others don’t think I’m good enough. It kills me that no one will even give me a chance. I know I would be an excellent wife and mother. And God has so strongly put this desire in my heart – and it’s ALWAYS been there. Yet I have been left empty-handed when it comes to love. This has been a source of great sadness for me for years, but up until now I have been able to suppress it well enough to go about my daily life. Recently, however, I have felt increasingly hopeless, desperate, depressed & honestly afraid. At times I have even felt like I don’t want to live anymore if it means I’m going to be alone. I don’t know if it’s just because I know I’m getting older & statistically, that makes it more difficult to find a husband and the older you get, the more difficult it is to get pregnant or, if you do become pregnant, older women tend to have higher health risks for both them and the child. I want to do this the only way that is universally considered acceptable to God – to find a wonderful man, get married and have children within that marriage. I’ve never thought of doing this any other way. I have become so consumed with sorrow over the fact that I am alone that it is becoming difficult for me to function. The mental & emotional pain and anguish is almost unbearable. I cry every day & many times I have little to no control over what will trigger a complete meltdown. I feel like I notice more often all the happy couples & children around me all the time & how much I so desperately long to have that in my own life. I have prayed every way I know how – I’ve done novenas, I have attend daily Mass more often, I have really become more focused on my prayers. I’ve tried taking the approach of praying a simple prayer and then “let it be” then when I thought that wasn’t working, I’ve later tried taking the approach of prayer frequently and fervently. I’ve done very by-the-book prayers and then sometimes, I’ve just had a sincere conversation with God. None of this has brought me any “answers” or “signs” or at least comfort or peace. I feel like I don’t know what’s “right” anymore when it comes to prayer. But I’ve tried SO HARD & have just hoped that God sees my efforts and the desires of my heart & that’s what’s important. I’ve been praying that God will make me the perfect spouse for my future husband and I’ve prayed that God will use his angels to guide the man he’s chosen for me and bring us together. But I can’t help but feel ignored and that is a TERRIBLE feeling; I feel like the only person that can help me is God & there are times when I feel so worthless because I feel like even He cannot hear me or just won’t answer my cries. And that is the most helpless feeling I’ve ever felt – to feel like God has put such a strong desire in my heart to be a wife & mother & that I have begged and pleaded with Him to lead me to the man who is to be my husband only to be left feeling like I’m not good enough or I’m doing something wrong (even though I’m trying so hard to do right) that is preventing me from God blessing me in this way and not knowing what to do differently or how to “fix” whatever is “wrong” with me so that I will be worthy enough to receive this blessing. I’ve prayed for at least a sign of hope from God that he is working to bring about this miracle in my life. I need SOMETHING to keep my hanging on because I really am starting to feel like I would rather be dead than alone – and that scares me. It’s so frustrating to feel like what I’m praying for is something that generally is considered a good thing – love, marriage, family; it’s not like I’m praying for wealth or power. And I feel like this has come so easily to others who have not followed God’s teaching (example – many of my parents’ friends – all of whom are Catholic – have children who have had kids outside of marriage at a young age, yet now they are happily married & have a wonderful, happy life). I don’t know why God would “allow” me to experience this pain that is so horrible that it is ruining my life – especially since I HAVE turned to Him – and that’s what He wants us to do in our time of need! I haven’t turned away from Him; if anything, I have cried out to Him more and more to help me. Sr. Kathryn, please urgently pray for me – surely, you know the “right” way to pray. I don’t know what to do anymore & I’m so sad & so lonely. Please ask dear St. Joseph to intercede for me urgently. I truly NEED visible and speedy help – at least a sign from God that he can hear me and that he is working to answer my prayer and will soon bless me with a husband so that I can receive the sacrament of marriage very soon. If you can offer me any words of comfort and hope, that would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    • wow, i can not believe what you wrote, you are expressing everything I am!!!!!!!!!!! even same initials SF. WOW.
      i can not believe how much your situation is like mine, except you are a couple of years older, but wow!!!!! incredible when i was reading this i was like wow i just asked God for an answr, guidance, and then this came up, wow, wow, seriously God works in mysterious ways. I know your feeling exactly how you said, and seeing everyone else happy who is not good, and then I live my life the way of Jesus, and I am alone, sad, depressed, and trying to keep hope and pray. WoW, i will definitely keep you in my prayers. Same initials!!!! will be easy 🙂

      • SF – Thank you for posting a reply to what I wrote. Maybe if you were praying to God for some kind of sign, my sharing of my struggles was Him somehow reaching out to you?? I don’t really know anymore, but in any case, I hope that maybe it means something good is on the horizon for you. I will truly keep you in my prayers as well – I’m not just saying it because I obviously know how difficult this is. And yes, it will be easy to remember with the same initials. God bless you. If you do begin to experience God’s blessings about this situation, I hope that you will post an update – that would make me feel hopeful to know that you have been blessed. -SLF

  180. Please pray to Saint Joseph for me and my household to be delivered from poverty and to always have more than enough to help other people.

  185. Dearest Saint Joseph, you have helped me before, and I’m coming before you now to ask for your help again. I recently lost the respect and admiration of someone I care deeply about and with whom I can see myself making a good life. It was my fault in many respects, and I am deeply ashamed of the things I’ve said and done. I know that you are a faithful, caring, and gentle husband and father, and that you are well known for your concern for young women who are seeking happy and healthy relationships. Please remember me to your Divine Son, and ask that He touch the mind and heart of the man I’m thinking of so that he may return to me once more in love and forgiveness. In the blessed name of Jesus and the holy name of God I pray, with all purity and sincerity.

    There is so much I want to tell Tony, so much time that we spent apart that taught me a lot about our relationship, our faith, and where I want to be in our life. I continue to trust St Joseph to help us, help our relationship, and be thankful to God for each day he brings us.

    As well Tony’s birthday is coming up. For his health, spirituality, success, and happiness. I pray each day.

    • I continue to pray for you and Tony , Sandra. I hope your prayers are answered soon and you and Tony may walk together on this journey hand in hand. Blessings to you, Pamela x

Please pray to St Joseph to help me and Tony and our relationship; it means so much.

  208. Dear God, Jesus & Mama Mary, please help me with what I’m going through right now. Please give me strength to face everyday. Please heal the heartaches, hatred of my ex-Bf and please lead his way back to me so we can be together again.

I ask that You, O Foster Father of Our Dear Jesus, to bend his heart, his mind, his will, his strenght, his desire, and his soul to turn completely away from all evils and come back to GOD today and forever as quickly as possible. He is physically, mentally, and psychologically sick and desperately in need of Heavenly Help. I ask this in the Name of Your Dear Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

      • Pamela thank you so much for your prayers. St Joseph the Patron Saint of families, keep myself & Tony , Bri & Moe, and Pamlea & JP in your prayers. Please interceed. Keep these relationships close to your heart. These women are praying with so much much passion and persisstance. Praying for a second chance. For reconciliation from these men.
        Anything is possible with Our Lord Jesus Christ, God Our Father.

        Keep praying.
        St Joseph please help

  224. So sorry for the troubles you are experiencing in your life now! Someone, perhaps my Priest once told me that you cannot help but love the one you continually pray for. Spouses have an unselfish love and responsibility to get each other to heaven and it is something I do not take lightly. Indeed I pray very hard for my wife everyday because I believe it is my path in life. As a result she feels comforted and cherished as she ought too. She does the same for me as well. Do we have perfect marriage? There is no such thing, everyone has ups and downs, everyone! Pray hard for him and ask him to pray for you. No need to tell him how hard you are praying for him, but it is important for him to pray for you. God Bless you and your husband.

    • Jeremy, thank you for taking the time to contemplate my pain and sorrow. I am praying hard for the one I love to see his true worth, that he may overcome the horrors he saw whilst serving in the military and for the pain and suffering he was subjected to as a child at the hands of others. This man is not my husband, although, I would like him to know that I am prepared to show him unconditional love and commitment.
      I let him down earlier this year and didn’t show him the complete faith and trust that he deserves. I put my own selfish wants and needs ahead of his. However, I was also scared by the situation we found ourselves in.
      I ask, although I may not deserve, that you pray for us. I am reaching out to St Jospeh , who showed Mary all these qualities of unconditional love and support, that he may grant this man I another opportunity to speak with each other. To open the lines of communication between us, although it may not lead to marriage or life long commitment, I feel we deserve the opportunity to speak and heal our wounds.
      This wonderful man has suffered enough in this life, I want him to be able to love and accept love. He is worthy of it. Please , I ask that St Joseph hears my plea.

  225. I am reaching out to St. Jospeh for his assistance and guiding hand. Due to fear, lack of confidence and circumstances, I find myself estranged from the man I love and whom I believe loves me. He believes he is not worthy of being loved and that he is incapable of loving. I ask St. Jospeh to give him the strength to see his true worth and have the courage to reopen the lines of communication between us. If he would just speak with me again, I would like him to know that not everyone wants to hurt him and there is a greater love than he could ever imagine waiting to be bestowed on him from the Lord and myself. I am not asking for us to be reunited, we will be if that is our path. St Joseph I ask that you open the communication between us again.

  226. I am requesting prayers from St. Joseph for my wife and me during a very difficult time. My wife has suffered greatly in her life and problems with infertility have led her to despair where she is very separated from God and angry with God. I ask for prayers for her healing, for the repair of her relationship with God, for our fertility and that I can be a better husband to help in her healing. I ask for special prayers at this time for our marriage which is under great stress due to this infertility issue and other issues. I ask St. Joseph to pray for our marriage to grow into a very beautiful one.

  227. Thank you Sisters for your ministry over the internet and your prayers and help.
    Thank you St Joseph most chaste spouse to our Blessed Mother, Foster-Father to Jesus and patron to all workers

    I thank you especially for Rick’s phone call last night. And I ask for your intercession that I receive that most important job offer from him. I promise to use all my skills and knowledge to bring greater glory to God. Please St Joseph, intercede for me that I receive this offer and intercede on behalf of all those seeking good and honest work.

    Amen!

  242. Dear St. Joseph, ask God to reverse the damage to B. and M. relationship that was done, and to repair it completely. Lead B. back to M. by the power of God the Almighty and the Holy Spirit, so that B. will see M. is the right partner for him now. May the Lord open B’s heart, eyes, and mind to focus on M now, and bring them into a loving, committed relationship. I ask your help St. Joseph to show B. the right way to act toward another person and to be true to his Godly nature rather than acting out of control. St. Joseph, I ask that you put your firm hands and heart upon B. , and lead him back to M.! Thank you St. Joseph for your guidance.

  243. I find myself seeking answers to the mess my life has become. I am a total fake! I have lied repeatedly to my family, friends, and strangers about becoming a better person. Especially my family. I let them down once again by leading them into a financial disaster. We are at risk for the second time to lose our home because of me. I am a failure. I cannot understand why is it that every time I make two steps forward to improve my life, I always end up taking three steps back. My past is constantly haunting me. My mother mentioned that if I failed again that she would disown me and throw me of the house. She would have every right to do this. For some reason I can’t stop messing up, I can’t stop lying. I prayed and asked God to help me, even if it meant He had to take my life. I just don’t want to hurt my family anymore. I have tried to commit suicide three times in the past two years. However, my efforts were unsuccessful. I don’t understand why God wants me to remain on this Earth if the only thing I am capable of is hurting my loved ones. I’m so tired and I don’t know what to do, or who turn to. So I decided to come here and I ask that someone pray for my family, and ask God to help them keep a roof over their heads and have enough money to make ends meet. Please, someone, pray for my family and keep them safe, healthy, and happy. Especially my mother — she works so hard each day for me and my brother to have things, and all I manage to do is mess everything up. Heavenly Father forgive me, I only seek peace because my mind is all messed up right now.

    • Sophia,

      I am holding you in prayer to St. Joseph. Ask him to show you what you need to do to move into a better personal space and open up to God’s power at work within you. Never give up on yourself, on life, on God. He has a mission for you also.

      Sr. Kathryn

  246. Saint Joseph has become a Special Saint of mine for my personal life. I would like to submit a prayer request/intention for my relationship with the man I love, Tony. Our relationship has encountered some difficulties and sadness. Tony brought me so close to faith and deepened my love and faith for God. I now return prayer for him to deepen his faith and love, and I pray through prayer and sacrifice that our relationship receives healing. May we communicate more openly. May I stop being closed off. May we grow forward as a couple in Christ, to be a good example of a Catholic couple. I pray that we may work on our relationship without fear, doubt, anxiety, and that we may be able to love each other through, first and foremost, our love for God. I pray for the miracle of healing of my and Tony’s relationship. I also would like to submit a prayer of thanks for every family member and friend who has been praying for our relationship throughout this period of sadness. God Bless. Please accept my prayer request. May St Joseph, Adoptive Father of Jesus, lift up my prayer request to the Lord Jesus Christ. And also praying for Bri and Moe who are in the same situation.

I Pray Jesus Christ, Mother Mary, God Almighty, that all evil, fear, anxiety, doubts, may be removed from his heart, his mind, his life and see the genuine love and faith we had in our relationship. I continue to pray for a miracle for the second chance of our relationship. Only with you Lord can I put my prayers and trust. I love and miss him so much.

May the preparation to be good wives (Sandra and Bri) be revealed to Tony & Moe and may the Holy Spirit fill their lives as they lead their lives together. St Joseph please help!!!!!!!

  251. From the time I was a small child till now as a middle aged woman, I have always believed and prayed. I thank God everyday for his blessings. I thank our Blessed Mother. I know that there are so many more people who need help more than I. My Mom, who walked the path of Christ her whole life, has gone through a life of more pain than joy, mostly at the hands of my father. To add further pain to Mom, my father used all her retirement money to buy a property with a cabin in the country. Dad passed away 6 years ago and Mom has been trying to sell this property ever since. Mom retired last November because of her advanced age and she just couldn’t work anymore. Her eyes are so bad and painful. The Doctors have done everything they can including lens transplants. Mom, after her bills are paid, has $7.32 a week to live on. We have been praying to St. Joseph to help because selling the property would give Mom some peace. Sister Kathryn, God, Mother Mary and St Joseph don’t know we are here. Mom is such a pure person she just doesn’t deserve this too. The property is beautiful. It is priced at half of what my Father put into it. Sister Kathryn, all of this stress is taking my Mom’s life from her and us. I don’t know what more I can do. We are not wealthy people and aren’t asking for frivolous favors. We just want this property sold so Mom can have peace. Please, maybe if others pray for us, they will listen. Thank you Sister Kathryn. All our love.

  252. Sr. Kathryn, please pray for Sandra to become a good wife for Tony; and for Bri to become a good wife for Moe. St Joseph may He interceed and watch over these 2 relationships.

  253. Please pray that I will find a better place to live. I have been so unhappy where I am. I have not felt settled or that this is my home for over 6 years. I want to find a place that I can call my own. I don’t know how this can happen. I need a miracle.

    I feel so trapped where I am. I want to finally be able to say “I’m home, I’m happy, I’m at peace”

    Please pray that God will answer my prayers through the intercession of St. Joseph

    It has been very difficult for me where I live now. I am sad all the time. Horrible memories are here in this place.

    Please answer my prayers. Show me what to do. Send me circumstances and opportunities that I can recognize and let me move please.

  254. St Joseph, I need your help. For the restoring / second chance of relationship between Sandra & Tony, and Bri & Moe. I need your help, prayers, intercession. Sr. Kathryn, please pray for these 2 relationships.

  255. I urgently ask to please pray for my husband Robert that he will be able to make it home safe and that he will be protected.

  256. My wife had an emergency Caesarian 2 days ago for our first born son. She is Chinese am I not, my mother-in-law who is in to visit to support the family and help my wife for a confinement period of thirty days is becoming overbearing. We fought after leaving the hospital today. Part of the problem is my wife has the baby blues and is upset over several things and her mother wishes her to do things contrary to what she wants or even against doctor and nursing staff. She is insistent on her way, which I value but disagree with to the point that we raised our voices at eachother in the car ride back. I have attempted to speak with her twice and tried to mend the bridge but she is insistent on her way. Please St. Joseph aid my new family I feel as though she will try to undermine us at this stressful, critical time.

    • Peter, I will keep you in my prayers that you stay strong. You must insist, gently, that your wife and baby follow DOCTOR’s orders. Remember that our Lord gave you two beautiful, precious gifts…the first is your wife and the second is your son. Please always remember that you would not have had either if God had not made your Mother In Law first. Jesus’ path was not easy. Jesus had to wear a crown of thorns and just as our Lord showed us…..this too shall pass. Be strong Peter, I have faith in you.

  257. Please hear my petition for the healing & restoration of my relationship with the man I loved by the same name Tony. It was Tony who brought me closer to my faith, Love of God, Mother Mary, and of course St. Anthony . St Joseph restore our relationship for years to come. May Tony be brought back to the church, the faith, and see the love, prayer, hope I have for us and come back to my life and may we work together with faith in Jesus, and love for God and one another towards the unity of marriage. I continue to pray

  258. i pray for peace of mind and strength; i pray to be exonerated from all the charges against me; i pray that she gets peace of mind and that she stops this.

  259. St Anthony, St Therese, St. Anne St Jude, St Expeditus, St Joseph, and all the Saints & Holy Souls please lift my prayer request / intention to God Almighty. I continue to pray for a miracle in the healing of my relationship with the man I love. I Pray we may work out on a second chance with our relationship. May we one day soon go to church together, pray together. I pray may he see and feel in his heart the genuine love, faith, hope, and prayers I have for him, and everyone else praying for our relationship around the world. I Pray Jesus Christ, Mother Mary, God Almighty, that all evil, fear, anxiety, doubts, may be removed from his heart, his mind, his life and see the genuine love and faith we had in our relationship. I continue to pray for a miracle for the second chance of our relationship. Only with you Lord can I put my prayers and trust. I love and miss him so much. Thank You & God Bless to everyone praying here.

    • Hi, Sarah,

      THough I read all the intentions I am not able to respond to each of them personally anymore, there are so many. So I apologize I haven’t responded to your prayer requests. I offer to you HeartWork, which is a program that I started to help people become more aware of what is disrupting their peace and their relationships. Sometimes St. Joseph teaches us that we need to take specific steps to help ourselves. If you are interested there is more information at: http://pauline.org/ACatholicApproachtoLiving/AbideinMyLove/HeartWork/tabid/899/Default.aspx

      Know that I am united with you in prayer during this difficult time of your life. Entrust your marriage to Joseph and Mary.

      Sr. Kathryn

  267. St Joseph, Thank You for the many years I prayed for a good man (in hope to become a good husband) I am so thankful for the man and love him dearly, especially because he brought me close to my faith. I need prayer and intercession in our relationship. Our relationship needs hope, his good friend says he still loves me, but is scared, has anxiety, is afraid of marriage, and yet the time apart has helped me grown and seen my own flaws. I am continuously praying not giving up, and making good changes in my life for the better to be a good example of a practicing Catholic. I pray that he may come back into my life and personally tell me himself that he loves me. May he confirm what his friend said to me, and take that chance. St Joseph I believe in miracles, in healing, and I pray you may lift up my prayer request before Jesus and allow our relationship to come back together and learn from our own mistakes.

  268. Sr Kathryn, please pray for my relationship with the man I love.
    The time apart from him has taught me the many flaws I had and needed to work on in order to become a good wife. I Pray Tony may see and feel it in his heart that our relationship is worth fighting for. I Pray that we may communicate out of love, and with praise to God as priority! ST Joseph perfect example of a good husband to Mary and acting father to Jesus, please pray that me and Tony may become a good Catholic family in the near future. I pray dearly, St Joseph please help.

  269. Sr. Kathryn and to all the viewers who follow all the post I request you al to please pray for my father who is experiencing chest pains and giddiness that may the lord shower his blessing on him and he get cured of all the troubles and suffering… Please pray to St. Joseph in a special way that nothing should happen to him as he is the only bread winner for our family… may st. joseph shower his blessing and pray to the almighty father to heal him…thank you!!

  270. Updated Prayer Request!

    June 23,Sun.2013

    Slow Recovery from the Death of Our Only Son & Other(Financial Misery,Health Issues etc)on Ongoing Sorrows…

  271. Thank you St Anthony for the many miracles you have bestowed on me, even though i’ve only just come to know of you.
    I love, praise and feel proud to call you my patron saint.

    It is not by chance, but by a miracle that you’ve entered into my life. And in a way, YOU lead me to you and your prayers. Just when i needed you the most.

    Please unite me and the love of my life soon. You know that we have been on a break for a while…and it hurts going through this pain im in. I come to you in desperate need, to ask you to please end this wait.

    Take away, any fears, doubts, anger, ego, pride, anxiety, selfishness, vanity and the devil that comes in many shapes, way and forms.

    Protect him always, and make him always remember us, put your hands on his heart and mind and fill it with love for me. And make him realize that what we have is really precious and that it’s not worth loosing at all.

    I have already thought of it as a prayer that has been heard and granted.

    And for an eternal grateful thanks I vow, to name my children with him In honor of you. And promise to make they name known the best way i can.

    I love and thank you with all my heart St. Anthony.

  280. Hello Sr. Kathryn
    My husband made a big mistake about a month ago when our 16 yr old son crashed our car. My husband lied to the police & told them that it was himself who was driving & not my son because he was worried that our son would be in trouble for driving with a learners license & not an actual license which means a parent should have been in the car at the time. I gave my son permission to go to the gas station & get a pop but he picked up 2 girls & went for a drive. Horrible choice. For me to give permission breaking the law & even supporting my husband to lie. Oh boy, we’re in trouble! The cops found out the truth from one of the passengers grandma. Could be a felony since they had concussions. Maybe child endangerment? Well a felony will cost him his job & therefore no home. This is a horrible thing right now. Please pray for us to St.Joseph I beg! We did wrong but we have learned from this. We were shocked & in fear over seeing the car rolled over & its been a nightmare. We need Gods mercy & this is so humiliating too in a small town.
    Thanks

    • Oh dear Christine,

      This is certainly a difficult situation. God is at work in it, however, and if you turn to him, he will show you in what way he is working to show you his providential care. His care supplies what we need, but doesn’t magically take away our problems.

      I will hold you in prayer to good St. Joseph,

      Sr Kathryn

  281. We pray to St Joseph to help us sell our home and allow us to relocate by our daughter, son-in-law and grandson. We need to be closer to help both our families spiritually and grow in our abundant faith! Please will all prayer warriors lift up our home and find the new home owners for us. We ask for guidance, faith, and hope for a quick transaction which is pleasing to all, in Jesus name we pray. Amen

  282. Pray for me and my lovely husband to have a baby. We been together for 3years with no kids. I love kids and it is my dream to have a boy and girl. Amen and thank you for your prayer

  283. Dear Friends,
    I have ready all the recent prayers written to St. Joseph, often with tears in my eyes. I will be praying to him in just a few moments when I go to chapel to pray for a while. He watches over us, he strengthens us to grow through everything, he will welcome us into heaven one day. Let us trust him.

    Sr. Kathryn

  284. St Joseph , I sincerely pray for healing to finally come into my relationship with the love of my life. Please come into both our hearts and make us feel again that one true, sacred love that brought us together in the first place.

    I know that if a love is really true, then it will always be there, perhaps just buried under the pain, hurt, fear, doubt and all other negativity that hound us flawed beings at times. May we both realize that what we have is worth fighting for and to simply let go is taking the easy way out. Please make us realize that we can go through this together, holding hands, with Your love and guidance.

    I love him so much, dear God, and for us to be together in love’s purest form is the greatest offering that we could ever give you and the world. Please heal us of both our ‘pathologies’ and personal demons and make us realize that we glorify you and your Love by strengthening this bond and connection that we share, by not taking each other for granted, and by holding on to each other at this most critical of times.

    Please, dear God, all my life I’ve searched for this one true, great love and I know deep in my heart and in the serenity of my soul that I have found it in him, my best friend and love. Thank you for the blessings and for the gift of love.

  285. My husband’s ego has been badly hurt by his boss. The Almighty knows my husband’s agony. Let him touch my husband today and bring happiness and contentment back into his life. Please pray that our good Lord reward my husband’s hard work and bless him abundantly.

  286. My prayer request is for my own marruage…I feel my husband no longer loves me…he cheated..he lies about alot of stuff..and he just lost his job and somehow he blames me for that too…I dont know what else to do…I pray everyday and all of this is causing soo much pain to my kids and i…dont know how much more I can take…I love him very much but I dont think he feels the same way towards me

  287. Dear Sister, with your reply to my earlier mail, I would like to tell you that its may seem as I know what I want in life but i am a very confused person, dealing with crisis & problems, I feel as if I am leading a depressed life… its seems I have no future, nothing to look forward to all the tension in life is taking a toll on my health as well with blood pressure and headaches, etc. I believe that god has a plan for all of us, but sometime I get the feeling that has he forgotten me in the crowd or (i am finding it difficult to even explain myself) my counselor and my mother still say that Believe in the lord and he will take care of you but I am drowning deep day by day in depression and loneliness. sometime I get the feeling of ending my life thinking of the miserable life that i am leading, could i be an exception that god forgot to plan my life? Nothing seems to be working out its been 7years i don’t think I can carry on like this…my faith in the lord has also taken a toll.. Still I ask St. Joseph to please help me build my faith and find a cure for all the problems (Depression, work, etc).
    I pray to St. Joseph daily after our family rosary. Pls St. Joseph shower your blessing on me…
    St. Joseph Pray for me – Amen.

    • Marshal,

      Thank you for sending your prayer intention to St. Joseph through our blog. I hear your struggle with faith and respect how difficult it must be. Prayer isn’t a miracle worker…to make things work out the way we want them to. Prayer help us have courage in the midst of however things work out. Fixing a situation is a mixture of providence, work, grace, and trust. Having suffered from depression myself I know that it seems that God isn;t listening. Depression, however, is a physical illness. As we heal we begin to see how God is with us. When we are deeply depressed we can’t be with ourselves, be in relationship with others, and therefore are disconnected with God. Your detour through depression can become a vocation as you live it in trust, in prayer, in smallness. We want it to change, to disappear, and we get more than frustrated. When we walk through it in patience, it is less formidable. Know that I am praying for you.

      Sr. Kathryn

  288. My dear loving father , i come to you with a prayer and a request , which you already know before i write it down , my father as you know from which situation i am going through , i am stressed , broken and lonely these days , you are my one and only hope and i believe and trust you fully . Father you know that i love azam william alot and never had any bad intentions towards him , his family or his money , i dont know why he thinks negative and bad about me , you know my every feeling and intentions , i have really loved him alot and still continues to love him , father please make him realize what he did to me was not fair nor good , i want you to change his mind and heart in jesus christ name and he would come back to me and accept me , i want him to be my life partner and i promise to you my lord that i will be sincere and faithful to him for the rest of my life , and for the girl whom azam mom has selected to be his wife i pray that she may have a good , loving and caring future husband , who would treat her as her queen ! i ask this and receive in jesus name . amen.

  289. I want God to hv mercy on me hv sin nd i need his 4givness,also i want God to use me 4 his work,also i want God 2 break every covernant dat is affecting my life.

  290. Please pray for me in my problems and so I am not taken to court. Let the problem be solved peacefully. Please pray for people who want to hurt me (Jews -owners of chemotherapy) so they allow natural medicine to heal people just as God intended it to help people.

  291. Very grateful for prayers offered. St. Joseph is kind and good always!

    Sr. Kathryn and any other(s) who may help, I wonder if a prayer I posted on May 29th might be removed from the postings? I did not realize how long it might be posted, and I think it might be best if it were removed. I am confident that if it is God’s will that St. Joseph intercedes on behalf of my family, that he is already aware of my situation.
    The post mentioned early on that I was dealing with either Lyme’s disease or chronic fatigue syndrome, and was signed with my frst name, Chris.

    Thank you for your help and your prayers and may God bless you
    always.

  294. The intensity of your cry for help, your need for God’s mercy, will call down his kindness toward you. There are many sadnesses in life, and yours are particularly painful. Like Hosea you are living the gift of love, and like him, perhaps, your vocation in life is to witness to God’s fidelity to us. St. Joseph looked into Jesus eyes and say the very FIDELITY of God. Through his intercession may you also discover that divine and everlasting faithfulness.

    Sr. Kathryn

  295. Please Saint Joseph pray and intercede for my children:Karolina K – Teresa Isabel and Jospeh Alexander that they will open their hearts to the Holy Spirit and that they will be protected from anything it si not from God. Please intercede for my dear husband Edmund David, for blessings upon him. Please pray and intercede for me for a good and stable job where I can serve our dear Lord and our Lady and if God still wants me in the actual job that I have a t this moment, please pray for God s Holy Protection upon me in my job and from those who want me to quit it.. Thanks
    Love

  296. Please pray for my daughter, that she may graduate soon with no issuses. Please also pray for our business, that we may have enough work to cover our increasing financial obligations. May our family have peace and happiness.

  297. Sister Kathryn and Sister Sharon, I wanted to write and tell you that good St. Joseph found me a wonderful job – I have been working for a month now. I am so grateful for your prayerful intercession. I could not have done it without you. I still seek his counsel and now we are praying for the house – we had an appraisal come in and now we have to see if we can get the mortgage. May I please ask that St Joseph saves our home. I remember you and all those on this site in my prayers. He is the gentlest of saints and I see now how if you trust him, he will never let you down. All is well and according to God’s will. Much love always, Julie

  298. Thank you Sisters for your generosity and kindness and especially your prayers through this ministry.

  303. This novena is to be said between May 16 and May 24.
    The novena ends on the Feast of Our Lady Help of Christians.

    FIRST DAY:

    Hail, Star of the sea, Blessed Mother of God, ever fecund Virgin, happy gate of heaven.

    PRAYER: O Virgin Most Holy, powerful help of Christians, who confidently have recourse to the throne of thy mercy, hear the prayers of this poor sinner that begs for thy help, so he may always flee from sin and from the occasions of sin. Behold the first grace that I want to receive from this novena. So be it.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    “And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.” (Apoc. 12: 1)

    “And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Apoc. 12: 17

    Two distinguishing signs of the authentic faithful: Jesus and Mary, salvation of believers and help of Christians. Unto death I promise that I shall remain faithful to my religion: the Holy, Roman, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

    SECOND DAY:

    Taking that sweet Ave, which from Gabriel came, peace confirm within us, changing Eve’s name.

    PRAYER: Mary Most Holy, Mother of goodness and mercy, who with thy visible patronage oftentimes freed the Christian people from the assaults and barbarism of Moslems, I ask Thee to deliver my soul from the onslaughts of the world, devil and the flesh, and grant that I may be able obtain at all times complete victory over the enemies of my soul.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    “And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to your word.” (Luke 1: 38)

    In short, Mary Most Holy offers us an example of humility, obedience and readiness to do the Will of God and cooperate in the realization of His Plan of Salvation. “Lord, what dost Thou want me to do? Make me an instrument of thy peace.”

    THIRD DAY:

    Break the sinners’ fetters, make our blindness day, chase from us all evils, for all blessings pray

    PRAYER: O Mary, most powerful Queen, who alone triumphed over the many heresies that sought to take away so many children from the bosom of Holy Mother Church, help me, I beg thee, to keep and preserve my faith firmly and my heart pure amidst the snares and venom of such perverse doctrines.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    “And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda. And she entered into the house of Zachary and saluted Elizabeth… And Mary abode with her about three months. And she returned to her own house.” (Luke 1: 39-40, 56)

    Certainly, Mary remained until the birth of St. John the Baptist, for she knew that expectant mothers need special care and help. Here, we have a beautiful example of charity. I too promise to always practice charity and acts of mercy.

    FOURTH DAY:

    Show thyself our Mother by taking our voice to One Who deigned to be born for us, from Thee

    PRAYER: O Mary, my most sweet Mother, thou who art Queen of Martyrs, through so many heroic acts of courage and fortitude that thou performed on earth, deign to instill in my heart the necessary strength to keep me constantly under thy service, so that, despising all human respect, I may be able to fulfill all my religious duties openly and without shame and that I may show myself thy devout son at all times and even unto death.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    “And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why have you done so to us? Behold your father and I have sought you sorrowing.” (Luke: 2, 48)

    With what admirable kindness Mary admonishes her lost Son found in the temple. It is a beautiful example to parents. Children grow in wisdom, stature and grace before God and men when they receive the good example of their parents. In raising my children I promise to always practice patience, prudence and seriousness.

    FIFTH DAY:

    O Virgin unexcelled and most gentle, make us meek and pure and preserve us from evil.

    PRAYER: Mary, beloved Mother, who showed thy precious Patronage in the triumph of Pope Pius VII, extend thy holy mantle over the whole Holy Church, specially on her August Head, Pope (Benedict XVI), against the assaults of so many enemies; deliver him from temporal sufferings and assist him always that he may securely steer the barque of St. Peter to port and overcome the proud waves that attempt to drown it.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    “And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there. And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage. And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage. Seeing the wedding feast’s lack of wine, Jesus performed a miracle upon the confident request of his mother. She invites us to also obey Jesus in a special way, saying: “Whatsoever he shall say to you, do it.” “Happy are those that hear the Word of God and fulfill it” (John 2: 1-11).

    SIXTH DAY:

    Keep our life all spotless, make our way secure till we find in Jesus, joy for evermore

    PRAYER: O Mary, Queen of the Apostles, take under thy precious protection the Sacred Ministers and all the faithful of the Catholic Church, obtain for them the spirit of unity, perfect obedience to the Supreme Pontiff and fervent zeal for the salvation of souls; and deign particularly to extend thy loving aid to missionaries, that they may lead all peoples of the earth to the true faith, so that the world becomes one fold under the guidance of only one Shepherd, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    The Lord “is your praise, and your God, that has done for you these great and terrible things, which your eyes have seen.” (Deut. 10:21)

    In fact, God, gazing at the humility of his faithful servant, Mary Most Holy, gave us through her the Savior of all men, Our Lord Jesus Christ. “O Mary, grant us the grace to imitate thy love of God and neighbor.”

    SEVENTH DAY:

    Praise be to God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit now and forever. Amen.

    PRAYER: O Mary, Mother of mercy and clemency, who so often saved Christians from the plague and other bodily scourges through thy effective intercession, Help them and deliver them now from the plague of impiety and irreligion, which insinuates itself in a thousand ways into their souls to keep them away from the Church and pious practices, especially through sects, the press and perverse schools. I humbly ask thee to help the good, that they may persevere; strengthen the weak, call to penance sinners and the wayward, so that the Truth and the Kingdom of Jesus Christ may triumph here on earth, and thus increase thy glory and the number of the elect in Heaven.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    “Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a Sabbath day’s journey. And when they had come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus and Simon Zelotes and Jude the brother of James. All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.” (Acts 1: 12-14)

    O Mary, teach us to pray, confide and persevere.

    EIGTH DAY:

    Glorious Lady, more brilliant than the sun, with thy breast thou feedest the God who created thee.

    PRAYER: O Mary, the Church’s spiritual pillar and Help of Christians, I beseech thee to keep me firm in the Divine Faith and maintain in me the freedom and dignity of God’s children. For my part I promise thee never to stain my soul with sin, nor be a part of any society condemned by the Holy See; I promise thee to obey the Supreme Pontiff and the bishops in communion with him, since I want to live and die within the bosom of the Catholic Religion, the only one in which I can expect with certainty my eternal salvation.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he says to his mother: Woman, behold your son. After that, he says to the disciple: Behold your mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own..

    We can never forget the words of the dying Jesus, “Mother, behold thy son. Son, behold thy Mother.” “Upon death, he entrusted his mother Mary to his disciple so that the faithful might have such a Mother present in their last agony.” (John 19: 25-27)

    NINTH DAY:

    What Eve had destroyed, thou creates once again in the Son, opening Heaven’s gate and giving refuge to the sad.

    PRAYER: O Mary, my most gracious Mother, who at all times wish to be the help of Christians, assist me with thy powerful patronage throughout my life and especially at the hour of death; grant that, having loved and venerated thee on earth, I may sing thy mercies in Heaven. So be it.

    O God who hast established the Mother of Thy beloved Son as Mother and help of Christians, grant, we beseech thee, that we may live under thy protection and the Church may rejoice in thy everlasting peace.

    Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, in union with the Holy Spirit. Amen.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he says to his mother: Woman, behold your son. After that, he says to the disciple: Behold your mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own. (John 19: 26-27)

    Mary Most Holy, lovingly consenting with maternal fervor to the immolation of the victim she bore, through Jesus Himself dying on the cross, was given as a mother to the disciple and all of us. The Virgin Mary is the Church’s model of faith and charity. Mary, help of Christians, cooperates in the work of the Redeemer to restore the supernatural life in souls. “Behold, thy Mother.”

    Hail Mary

    Hail Mary, full of grace. Our Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

    Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

    Glory Be

    Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

    Hail Holy Queen

    Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God… that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

    Most holy Virgin Immaculate, my Mother Mary, to thee who art the Mother of my Lord, the queen of the universe, the advocate, the hope, the refuge of sinners, I who am the most miserable of all sinners, have recourse this day.

    I venerate thee, great queen, and I thank thee for the many graces thou hast bestowed upon me even unto this day; in particular for having delivered me from the hell which I have so often deserved by my sins.

    I love thee, most dear Lady; and for the love I bear thee, I promise to serve thee willingly for ever and to do what I can to make thee loved by others also. I place in thee all my hopes for salvation; accept me as thy servant and shelter me under thy mantle, thou who art the Mother of mercy.

    And since thou art so powerful with God, deliver me from all temptations, or at least obtain for me the strength to overcome them until death. From thee I implore a true love for Jesus Christ. Through thee I hope to die a holy death.

    My dear Mother, by the love thou bearest to Almighty God, I pray thee to assist me always, but most of all at the last moment of my life. Forsake me not then, until thou shalt see me safe in heaven, there to bless thee and sing of thy mercies through all eternity. Such is my hope. Amen.

    FIRST DAY:

    Hail, Star of the sea, Blessed Mother of God, ever fecund Virgin, happy gate of heaven.

    PRAYER: O Virgin Most Holy, powerful help of Christians, who confidently have recourse to the throne of thy mercy, hear the prayers of this poor sinner that begs for thy help, so he may always flee from sin and from the occasions of sin. Behold the first grace that I want to receive from this novena. So be it.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    “And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.” (Apoc. 12: 1)

    “And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Apoc. 12: 17

    Two distinguishing signs of the authentic faithful: Jesus and Mary, salvation of believers and help of Christians. Unto death I promise that I shall remain faithful to my religion: the Holy, Roman, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

    SECOND DAY:

    Taking that sweet Ave, which from Gabriel came, peace confirm within us, changing Eve’s name.

    PRAYER: Mary Most Holy, Mother of goodness and mercy, who with thy visible patronage oftentimes freed the Christian people from the assaults and barbarism of Moslems, I ask Thee to deliver my soul from the onslaughts of the world, devil and the flesh, and grant that I may be able obtain at all times complete victory over the enemies of my soul.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    “And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to your word.” (Luke 1: 38)

    In short, Mary Most Holy offers us an example of humility, obedience and readiness to do the Will of God and cooperate in the realization of His Plan of Salvation. “Lord, what dost Thou want me to do? Make me an instrument of thy peace.”

    THIRD DAY:

    Break the sinners’ fetters, make our blindness day, chase from us all evils, for all blessings pray

    PRAYER: O Mary, most powerful Queen, who alone triumphed over the many heresies that sought to take away so many children from the bosom of Holy Mother Church, help me, I beg thee, to keep and preserve my faith firmly and my heart pure amidst the snares and venom of such perverse doctrines.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    “And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda. And she entered into the house of Zachary and saluted Elizabeth… And Mary abode with her about three months. And she returned to her own house.” (Luke 1: 39-40, 56)

    Certainly, Mary remained until the birth of St. John the Baptist, for she knew that expectant mothers need special care and help. Here, we have a beautiful example of charity. I too promise to always practice charity and acts of mercy.

    FOURTH DAY:

    Show thyself our Mother by taking our voice to One Who deigned to be born for us, from Thee

    PRAYER: O Mary, my most sweet Mother, thou who art Queen of Martyrs, through so many heroic acts of courage and fortitude that thou performed on earth, deign to instill in my heart the necessary strength to keep me constantly under thy service, so that, despising all human respect, I may be able to fulfill all my religious duties openly and without shame and that I may show myself thy devout son at all times and even unto death.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    “And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why have you done so to us? Behold your father and I have sought you sorrowing.” (Luke: 2, 48)

    With what admirable kindness Mary admonishes her lost Son found in the temple. It is a beautiful example to parents. Children grow in wisdom, stature and grace before God and men when they receive the good example of their parents. In raising my children I promise to always practice patience, prudence and seriousness.

    FIFTH DAY:

    O Virgin unexcelled and most gentle, make us meek and pure and preserve us from evil.

    PRAYER: Mary, beloved Mother, who showed thy precious Patronage in the triumph of Pope Pius VII, extend thy holy mantle over the whole Holy Church, specially on her August Head, Pope (Benedict XVI), against the assaults of so many enemies; deliver him from temporal sufferings and assist him always that he may securely steer the barque of St. Peter to port and overcome the proud waves that attempt to drown it.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    “And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there. And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage. And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage. Seeing the wedding feast’s lack of wine, Jesus performed a miracle upon the confident request of his mother. She invites us to also obey Jesus in a special way, saying: “Whatsoever he shall say to you, do it.” “Happy are those that hear the Word of God and fulfill it” (John 2: 1-11).

    SIXTH DAY:

    Keep our life all spotless, make our way secure till we find in Jesus, joy for evermore

    PRAYER: O Mary, Queen of the Apostles, take under thy precious protection the Sacred Ministers and all the faithful of the Catholic Church, obtain for them the spirit of unity, perfect obedience to the Supreme Pontiff and fervent zeal for the salvation of souls; and deign particularly to extend thy loving aid to missionaries, that they may lead all peoples of the earth to the true faith, so that the world becomes one fold under the guidance of only one Shepherd, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    The Lord “is your praise, and your God, that has done for you these great and terrible things, which your eyes have seen.” (Deut. 10:21)

    In fact, God, gazing at the humility of his faithful servant, Mary Most Holy, gave us through her the Savior of all men, Our Lord Jesus Christ. “O Mary, grant us the grace to imitate thy love of God and neighbor.”

    SEVENTH DAY:

    Praise be to God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit now and forever. Amen.

    PRAYER: O Mary, Mother of mercy and clemency, who so often saved Christians from the plague and other bodily scourges through thy effective intercession, Help them and deliver them now from the plague of impiety and irreligion, which insinuates itself in a thousand ways into their souls to keep them away from the Church and pious practices, especially through sects, the press and perverse schools. I humbly ask thee to help the good, that they may persevere; strengthen the weak, call to penance sinners and the wayward, so that the Truth and the Kingdom of Jesus Christ may triumph here on earth, and thus increase thy glory and the number of the elect in Heaven.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    “Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a Sabbath day’s journey. And when they had come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus and Simon Zelotes and Jude the brother of James. All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.” (Acts 1: 12-14)

    O Mary, teach us to pray, confide and persevere.

    EIGTH DAY:

    Glorious Lady, more brilliant than the sun, with thy breast thou feedest the God who created thee.

    PRAYER: O Mary, the Church’s spiritual pillar and Help of Christians, I beseech thee to keep me firm in the Divine Faith and maintain in me the freedom and dignity of God’s children. For my part I promise thee never to stain my soul with sin, nor be a part of any society condemned by the Holy See; I promise thee to obey the Supreme Pontiff and the bishops in communion with him, since I want to live and die within the bosom of the Catholic Religion, the only one in which I can expect with certainty my eternal salvation.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…
    Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.

    A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:

    Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he says to his mother: Woman, behold your son. After that, he says to the disciple: Behold your mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own..

    We can never forget the words of the dying Jesus, “Mother, behold thy son. Son, behold thy Mother.” “Upon death, he entrusted his mother Mary to his disciple so that the faithful might have such a Mother present in their last agony.” (John 19: 25-27)

    NINTH DAY:

    What Eve had destroyed, thou creates once again in the Son, opening Heaven’s gate and giving refuge to the sad.

    PRAYER: O Mary, my most gracious Mother, who at all times wish to be the help of Christians, assist me with thy powerful patronage throughout my life and especially at the hour of death; grant that, having loved and venerated thee on earth, I may sing thy mercies in Heaven. So be it.

    O God who hast established the Mother of Thy beloved Son as Mother and help of Christians, grant, we beseech thee, that we may live under thy protection and the Church may rejoice in thy everlasting peace.

    Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, in union with the Holy Spirit. Amen.

    Our Father…
    Hail Mary…
    Glory Be…
    Hail Holy Queen…

Please pray to St Joseph that his application goes well, I had been praying to St Joseph up to his feastday and then I got tired of it, I thought it was sorted. Maybe if I had kept praying it might not have come to this, not sure. Seeing as things started to look up on his feastday I am turning to him again. Thanks for your intercession.

    • Fidelia,

      When we pray to St. Joseph, we can be open to other options…. He will care for you, but often not in exactly the way you expect or the manner in which the problem will best be solved. Trust him as a child and ask him to teach you. I will pray too.

      Sr. Kathryn

  317. I asked for prayers for a husband a number of months ago. I now have a boyfriend so you never know what might happen. I would like to put in a request for my boyfriend either way.

  318. Forgot to add:

    St. Joseph please touch my aunt’s heart and may she find the courage to confess & undo the harm she has done to my family (using black magic) . She pretends to forget and denies everything – please bless her & help her to break this spell through Jesus’ help.

    Please free us from these ill-effects and also help us to forgive and forget seventy times seven as Jesus commands us!

    St. Joseph please pray for.us!

  319. St Joseph please protect us from all evil.

    A maternal-aunt had many years ago cast spells on my family using black-magic rituals with the help of Socerers/ witches. (we are Roman Catholics) she did these things of her own initiative. We did not want this. When I confronted her then she got defensive etc but never admitted her wrongdoing. She said she was helping to solve our problems thru these rituals. Our family is still suffering the ill-effects of these rituals – even though its almost 3 decades now!

    St. Joseph please intercede for us and free us from these evil spells that are blocking God’s Love & grace from reaching us ! Protect us from all evil.

    St. Joseph pray for us!

  320. To all who have put their trust in St. Joseph,

    I am praying with you daily, for courage and comfort for each of you in your struggles and sorrows, for healing and hope, for homes and health and jobs.

    I know God is in each of you, with each of you.

    May God bless you,

    PRAYER TO SELL A HOME

    (Note: This was sent to me by a visitor to the site. Below is the text of her email and the attached prayer/procedure for selling a home.)

    Hello. My name is Patricia. I have been to your site and it is nicely done, by the way. I just wanted to give you this attachment (word doc) that contains the novena to St. Joseph for selling a home. I have not seen it on your site and I was thinking that maybe you would be interested in having it. I used to get a buyer for my home and of course, immediately, I got one. My neighbor also wanted to sell her home and as soon as I gave her the prayer — she did sell her home. I have given it to another friend of mine and she too was able to get a buyer for her condo. after months of trying to unload it. I have also used this prayer in other ways. In HS, my teacher used to tell me that she prayed to St. Joseph for a good husband, so I said why not. I prayed this novena even if its for selling a home — I prayed that St. Joseph would bring me the RIGHT MAN for me. Guess what — I met my friend’s brother — and his name is Joseph. So far so good — he is the nicest person that I have ever met and I am enjoying the “getting to know you process” with him. I have passed this novena onto many of my friends looking for husbands, etc. and told them to just pray and ask — St. Joseph is good and he will hear your petitions. I have made it my mission to send this out to as many people that need it in order to spread the word about St. Joseph. So, again, I just wanted to share this with you. Take care and God bless you.

    Procedure for burying a St. Joseph statue when selling a home:

    Make a hole in the ground that is large enough to bury the St. Joseph statue (in protective wrap) vertically.
    Place the statue upside down in the ground.
    Face the upside down statue TOWARDS the home that is to be sold.
    For nine consecutive days, pray the St. Joseph Novena included here.
    Once the home is sold, remove the statue from the ground.
    Display the statue in a place of honor in the new home.
    Opening Prayer

    In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

    Come to my aid, O God. O Lord, make haste to help me.

    Almighty God, Father of mercies and giver of all good gifts, I come before you to honor you in your saints and ask their help in my many needs.

    You promised those who ask, would receive, those who seek, would find, those who knock, would have doors opened to them.

    Hear the prayers of your church, grant my requests, and pardon my sins. Amen.

    St. Joseph, just and true, with a father’s care you raised the child Jesus, and with a husband’s love, you shared your life with Mary, his mother.

    I entrust myself to your care and place in your hands this request of mine (say request)….

    In quiet Nazareth, long ago, the Holy Spirit spoke to your heart and you followed God’s will with wonderful faith.

    In the quiet of my days, and in the hard choices I must make, help me follow the Spirit’s guidance and believe when I cannot see.

    Day 1 Oh God, guide of those who listen and helper of those who hear your voice, speak to me, as you did to St. Joseph, and help me accomplish the things you give me to do .

    Day 2 O God, you love your people and bless the ordinary lives we quietly live. As you blessed St. Joseph, bless what I do, however hidden and simple it may be, and let all I do be done with love.

    Day 3 O God, ever faithful, you remember us always and in time reveal your blessings. Help me trust in you, as St. Joseph faithfully trusted, and never let me lose faith in the wonderful gifts you promise me.

    Day 4 God of families, bless the family that’s mine. Keep us safe from harm, and never let evil come between us. Let peace remain in our hearts.

    Day 5 O God, who loves children, be kind to our children today. Give them eyes of faith for seeing far, a loving heart for welcoming life, and a place always at your side.

    Day 6 God of our heavenly home, bless our home on earth. Let the spirit of Mary and Joseph rest at our table, shape our words and actions, and bring blessing to our children.

    Day 7 God, our Father, give your fatherly spirit to those who are fathers now. Like Joseph, give them hearts of devoted love for their wives and children and strength for forgiveness and patience.

    Day 8 Give shelter, O God, to those who need it, and bring together families divided. Give us enough to eat, and decent work to earn our bread. Care for us, O God.

    Day 9 Bless all families, O Lord especially those in need. Remembering the life of your Son, we pray for the poor, for those who lack a good home, for those in exile. Grant them a protector like Joseph, O God.

    To conclude this novena, say one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be
    Dear Almighty Lord God Jesus Christ, I thank you for this day,

    for this is the day that the Lord has made,

    I will rejoice and be glad in it.

    I thank you for my being able to see, and to hear, and to speak, and to feel,

    and to taste of Your good creation this day and every day.

    I’m blessed because you are such a loving and such
    a forgiving God, and such an understanding and caring God.
    You have done so much for me and yet you keep on blessing me.
    Forgive me this day for everything
    I do, or say or think
    that is not pleasing to you. I say I am so sorry.
    I now repent and ask for your forgiveness.

    Please keep me safe O God
    from all danger, hurt, and harm.
    Help me to start this day and every day
    with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.

    Let me make the best of each and every day,
    To clear my mind so that I can hear from you.

    Please broaden my mind so that I can accept all things. Let me not whine

    and whimper over things I have no control over, for all things are working

    together for my good and God’s Glory.

    And when I’m pushed beyond my limits, give me the
    best response, a response which says Alleluia, and
    Praise the Lord, and Thanks be unto the Most
    High God Almighty, I know that when I can’t
    pray, You listen to the prayer of my heart.

    Continue to use me to do your will.
    Continue to bless me so that I may be
    a blessing to others.

    Keep me strong so that I may help the weak…
    Keep me uplifted so that I may have
    words of encouragement for the discouraged.
    I pray for those that are lost and can’t find their way,
    that they come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior,
    even through this Prayer I am now praying.

    I pray for those that are misjudged,
    misguided, misused, and misunderstood.

    I pray for those who don’t know you intimately.
    I pray for those who will ignore this prayer
    and not share the Love of God with others.
    I pray for those that don’t believe.
    But I thank You, that I do believe
    that God changes people and God changes things.

    I pray for all my sisters and brothers,
    for each and every one of the family members
    in their households. I pray for peace, love, and joy
    in their homes; I pray that they are out of debt
    and that all their financial needs are met, and they have

    more than enough to be a blessing to others.

    I pray for every eye that reads and says this Prayer
    that they come to know that there is no problem, no circumstance,

    no situation that is greater than God, for God is greater than all,

    God is greater in all, God is greater through all, and God is greater upon all.
    For God, the Most High God Almighty of all the Universes is truly the Greatest of All.

    I pray for all my enemies, and those who have used me and abused me,

    and have lifted up their hands and their tongue against me. I now forgive

    them for all they have done. In Jesus Name, all my enemies are now forgiven,

    and I pray God`s forgiveness upon them.

    So every battle that I have ever encountered in my life is now in God’s Loving hands,

    for You, O God fights all my battles for me.

    I pray that these words be believed, received and accepted
    into the hearts of every eye that sees them
    and every tongue that confesses them.

    In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray believing,
    receiving and accepting God’s miracles in my life this
    day and every day, for God’s Divine favor is now my
    heritage, in Jesus Name. Amen and Amen! It is
    done! O’ Praise The Lord! Alleluia!

    God I so love you and I need you. I confess that Jesus is the Christ,
    the Son of the Living God, my Lord, my Savior, and my King, and I

    confess this day and every day that I am highly FAVORED by God and man.

    Please come into my life, Lord Jesus Christ and change my heart now!

    OF

    THANKSGIVING

    Divine Infant Jesus, I know you love me and would never leave me. I thank you for your close presence in my life.

    Miraculous Infant, I believe in your promise of peace, blessings, and freedom from want. I place every need and care in your hands.

    Lord Jesus, may I always trust in your generous mercy and love. I want to honour and praise you now and forever. Amen.
    Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
    17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

    This is the armor of God and we must put it on. I know it isn’t easy…Lord knows I’ve experienced times when I’d rather stay in my pj’s instead of putting on the armor…but..we can’t let the evil one win!
    We must be victorious and not devoured…I”m here to help “lift you up” in the battle!

    Prayers Against Retaliation from The Power of Evil

    I cover myself with the Blood of Jesus Christ.
    I soak my family, my relations, my house, my office,
    my food, my money, my friends and well-wishers
    with the powerful Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    I cover the whole air, the whole land and the whole sea
    with the Blood of Jesus Christ.
    Satan, it is written in Revelation 12
    “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb,
    and by the word of their testimony
    I use the Blood of Jesus to cover me now.

    In Jesus Name, I break every power of darkness
    that has entangled me.
    I destroy all the web of Satan against me.
    I loose myself from all the powers of darkness against me.

    In Jesus name, I destroy and nullify all the curses,
    covenants and the initiation from Satan
    and his agents against me.
    I destroy any spell, incantations, curses, covenants,
    initiations and manipulation from any negative spirits.

    In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, Father,
    I come against all the demons that Satan
    has assigned to attack me spiritually or physically.
    It is written in the Book of Isaiah:
    “No weapon that is formed against me shall prosper;
    and every tongue that shall rise against me
    in judgment I shall condemn.”

    In the name of Jesus Christ, I come against all powers
    of darkness in the dream.
    I bind and cast out the demons
    that attack me through dreams.
    Signed, sealed and protected by God
    and hidden in Christ we know that nothing
    can separate us from God’s love, joy and peace.
    The Lord’s Prayer….

    Help us to acquire a little piece of paradise, the cottage on Lakeview Drive. Help us be approved for a loan that will cover the the mortgage and our debt and provide us with a manageable monthly payment. You were the provider for Jesus so we look to you to provide this place of peace and relaxation for our family. We will cherish this house and its property always. We will invite friends and family to share in the joy of the cottage and its beautiful beach access. It will always be a place of happiness and peace. It will bring us closer together and take us away from the craziness and stress of our daily lives. I trust in you St Joseph, that you will hear my prayer and provide this cottage for our family. Our family will be forever grateful to you and your holy family.
    Amen

  335. A Blessed Feast of St. Joseph to all. Tonight at the Mass in our convent chapel in honor of St. Joseph we remembered all your intentions, mentioning this blog and all of you specifically in the prayer of the faithful. As I was reflecting on Joseph today, I was deeply moved by how single hearted he was in letting God rearrange his life for the good of the rest of humanity. God wishes to do this with all of us. May St. Joseph give us the courage to give ourselves over to God’s love. I am praying for you all. See you Wednesdays for the Live Novena. (See the home page of this blog)

  355. My daughter Krystin is separated from her husband (who is an alcoholic) and is no longer a practicing Catholic. She is in need of prayer, however. She is trying to make ends meet to support herself and her 11 year old daughter, but is falling behind on her house payments. Because she has her own small business, she has been unable to get a loan modification (since she can’t guarantee her income) and her house is approaching foreclosure. Please would you pray for her to the Lord our God. Thank you.

  356. I have prayed for a divine intervention, as my husband wants a divorce. He is such a wonderful man and father and has admired my faith and fostered it with our daughters, but never for himself. His family is very self righteous, and never taught or have shown forgiveness, they have interviened and caused much pain for myself and my daughters. This marriage is worth saving, I have lost everything, home, children, respect, financial security all because of their meddling. I have always believed my purpose in his family was more then loving him as his wife, but bringing faith and showing how forgiveness is the ultimate blessing. Please pray I am given this chance as 4 lives have been destroyed, I have never stopped believing that god could save us, please pray on our behalf. Amen

  357. Sr Kathryn
    I hope you and Sr Sharon are ok and I thank you for your continued prayers for me and my family. The bank did not approve us for the mortgage and so we have turned to a mortgage broker who’s father was my mom’s lawyer. Perhaps this is the direction St Joseph led us to. We should have an answer by March or else the bank will begin foreclosure. I am still praying to him and each night asking him to protect and guide me and my family as he did so lovingly for Jesus and Mary. This journey of prayer and dependence on God has only deepened my love for Him. Prayer is really a gift – I look at it as a constant companion – talking to my beloved Friend. I remember you always and those who come to this site. Bless you Sister – I hope I can write you near St Joseph’s feast day with a great answer! Always, Julie

  358. Dear Sr.Katheryn,, please include me in your prayers and ask St.joseph to help me through this terrible time with depression anxiety fear and guilt. He is my friend and has helped me a lot in the past. I am so tired at the moment and losing hope of recovery. I pray to him every day but at present I find praying is hard as the depression takes over and I am unable to think straight. I am tired of crying and my husband is of no help as he doesn’t understand the illness and won’t even try to help which doesn’t help . My children are my only help as they are so good. Please pray for me. Thank you

  359. I have been facing rejection and anger for quiet sometime now…I had a beautiful life until college as soon as college got over problems started to pour in… I tried to encounter head on everyone of them but problems got so complicated and with some decisions that I have made I have completely screwed up my life, Now that I seek employment in an offshore rig I have been facing rejections there as well I have been applying to all offshore & oil companies since October 2012 but nothing positive has turned up. even my parents have started feeling that I am good for nothing… Please pray for me that I get a job and have some thing to look forward to…only then will all the bad feelings will die and maybe make my parents PROUD too…
    Please pray for me so that I get a job soon in an offshore RIG…

    • Marhsal,

      You seem very sure of what will solve your problems. Do you mind if I suggest a different way of praying? Perhaps you could ask St. Joseph to show you the way. He learned that God has different ways of solving problems than we do. His are usually better! I will pray for you. Do pray to St. Joseph,

      Sr. Kathryn

      • its may seem as I know what I want in life but i am a very confused person, dealing with crisis & problems, I feel as if I am leading a depressed life… its seems I have no future, nothing to look forward to all the tension in life is taking a toll on my health as well with blood pressure and headaches, etc. I believe that god has a plan for all of us, but sometime I get the feeling that has he forgotten me in the crowd or (i am finding it difficult to even explain myself) my counselor and my mother still say that Believe in the lord and he will take care of you but I am drowning deep day by day in depression and loneliness. sometime I get the feeling of ending my life thinking of the miserable life that i am leading, could i be an exception that god forgot to plan my life? Nothing seems to be working out its been 7years i don’t think I can carry on like this…my faith in the lord has also taken a toll.. Still I ask St. Joseph to please help me build my faith and find a cure for all the problems (Depression, work, etc).
        St. Joseph pray for me – Amen.

    • Mathew,

      This is so heartbreaking. Ask St. Joseph to show you where God is working in the situation, because God is at work for you and with you. He will use you in ways you would never guess. Open your eyes and expect to discover new things. I will pray with you.

  361. Hello Sister Kathryn.

    I am asking for your help praying with me to sell the condo we live in to find our home. I am a single mother who has lived God’s laws and learned to take care of everyone and forgot to take care of me. I now am ready to plant roots down and take care of a home. We all love nature and no longer want to live in a city. I am finishing college at 44 years old and will need a job to support my family and new home. I have been praying to St. Joseph to help with a good and quick sale for the condo we live in and I am asking for you to pray with us. Thank you for your help. Infinite Blessings, Ioanna

  368. Peace.

    I have read all the new prayer intentions, sometimes with tears. I hold them all in prayer. If you would be willing, you could pray like this, “St. Joseph, I know God is already at work. I don’t know what he is doing. I am afraid. I am in need. Help me to collaborate with God’s work as you did. Amen.” I will remember you in my novena to St. Joseph daily and also at Mass each morning. I place all of you on the altar next to Jesus with great trust.

    You are welcome to meet me on video each Wednesday at 7:00 for a short live novena. For the link just click on the picture of St. Joseph on the front of the blog.

    Good night.

  375. I have a few prayer requests. 1) I am engaged to an amazing Catholic lady. We are praying a 30 day novena to St. Joseph for our engagement, marriage. family and home. I ask for your prayers. 2) I am working and going to grad school and a bit older than the average grad student. I ask for prayers that I do well and balance well so that schooling and work is a blessing for marriage not a problem. 3) I am rotating shifts with weekends and holidays and late nights and it is very hard. I ask for prayers that I will get a good new position at the hospital I work at. 4) I am having to move out of the household that I live in with good Catholic men– we are all having to move. Not all of us can live together. I need a place for 7 more months till I marry. Some of the men need a place much longer. I ask for prayers for this situation. 6) I am having a lot of knee pain. I need to exercise and loose weight and eventually maybe have a surgery. I ask for prayers for healing for this and that I get in shape and loose the weight so that it helps me. 7) please pray for my future wife and for me– that we can be good Catholic spouses to each other and best friends to each other more. Thank you.,

There is a sense of evil around us as so many have taken advantage of us for their own gain. We can’t secure ourselves as something always goes wrong for us while those who use us prosper. We may not be able to working longer. We are so afraid. We are good. Why is this happening when we have no greed.

  392. Prayers needed…
    My much older brother Bob, went in the Hospital yesterday. They are doing a whole host of tests. I guess he went to the doctor recently and they said he really has to watch his salt intake. He’s had swelling in his feet and legs. Some fluid in his lungs, and they have mentions congestive heart – so basically something cardio-pulmonary going on. A prayer for him would be appreciated, as well as a bunch of prayers for his awesome wife who puts up with two grumpy old men.. my brother and her own father who lives with them.

    • Dear Jove, God our creator who knows all that you and your family are undergoing, will strengthen you and guide you in every step you take. Take refuge in Him.

      Dear Lord, I place Jove and her family in your open palms. Take care of their every need. Give them physical and emotional strength in their suffering. Give them peace and serenity which can come only from you. Please provide them with adequate financial help. I ask this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

  401. Thank you St.Joseph for your holy intercession. Jesus has heard my prayer and blessed me immensely. This was possible only due to your intercession to our Lord and our God who is righteous and just. I am not able to thank you enough. May your name be glorified and through you may many souls come back to our Creator who reigns and lives for ever and ever. Amen.

  402. Thanks and praise to our Lord who gives more than we can ever imagine! Yesterday, the people who had immorally taken our money have offered us two plots the cost of which will equal the money that they had taken. Lord ,your judgement is par excellence. Only You can give this type of a justice. May your name be glorified for ever and ever. Lord, bless Sr.Kathryn and all those who had prayed for me. Give me the grace to visit this site often and pray for all those who need my prayers. Thank you Lord for hearing the prayer of this unworthy child. Amen.

    • May God be praised. St. Joseph wishes to stay a part of your life now, and we are glad you will come back to visit us here and join us in prayer. May he teach you many things….

      Sr. Kathryn

  403. Sr. Kathryn, So good to see you on line. Have missed you. My temporary job ended but I still have hope. Still trying to see if I can keep the house. It gets scary at times – my credit is gone and we are judged on that – funny how God doesn’t judge us on credit scores and wipes the slate clean all the time – I love Him so much and ask Him to walk with me down this road. Thank you for your continued prayers and know that He loves you oh so much. Say hello to Sr Sharon as well. I will remember you and all those on the website. Julie

    • Hi, Julie,

      St. Joseph is strengthening your faith on this journey of fire. I will give your greetings to Sr. Sharon. She hasn’t been feeling well lately. But continues to pray to St. Joseph each day for everyone’s special needs.

      Blessed Advent,
      Sr. Kathryn

  404. Sr. Kathryn, I posted prayer request months ago about the person I love dearly to come back and even though it remains unanswered, I am positive that St. Joseph hears it and I want to thank you for praying for all of us. Please do not forget me in your prayers and I firmly believe that Papa Joseph and Mama Mary know my request for I always tell them. I always tell them many things. I feel good now while waiting.
    Thank you very much. God bless. And to all the people who posted prayer requests, may God bless all of us and give us His merciful love through Mary and Joseph. I will pray for you too and hope you’ll pray for me as well. Thank you.

    • Maria,

      That is such a grace to “feel good in waiting.” It means that by living in the present you can allow God’s mysterious and magnificent plan for you to unfold. I shall keep you in prayer.

      Sr. Kathryn

  405. Dear everyone,
    I am reading about St. Joseph from a little book every night when I retire from now until Christmas. I am remembering you and all your intentions in prayer. In these days of Advent, St. Joseph can remind us that just as he had no idea what God would do with his life, neither do we. We seem to be such little people with so many problems, and yet so was he. And like St. Joseph we are part of the great mystery of salvation playing out in the world. With trust, Sr. Kathryn

  406. Hello, pliz pray for me. My boyfriend all over sudden jst stopped talkin to me. I dont knw what i did and it hurts me so much. I hav also been away from my spiritual roots for so long. I want to become so close wth God again like i was before. Thanks for the prayers and God bless

    • Dear Hilda,

      I’m very moved by your note. A thought: the love that you feel for your boyfriend, is just a tiny spark of the love God has for you. The desire you have for your spiritual roots is really God’s coming close to you. You don’t need to feel close to God. God is close to you. You can reach out to him by prayer and talking with God, reading the Bible, seeking greater clarity of life and intentions…. Believe. Sr. Kathryn

  407. St. Joseph please help in my relationship. We are on a break while we figure things out. Please I beg you now more than ever please lift my prayer request to God, our loving Lord. May this break make us realize the love our relationship has and work out. For this I Pray…

  408. What good works you are doing! As I enter into marriage with my fiancé, please pray for us to keep God first in our lives. That he might guide us as we are trying to purchase our first home. For the conversion of souls.
    Thank you!!

  409. Praying that our efforts to bring our mortgage current will pay off. We filed a Ch. 13 four year ago I save the house. I went back to work. My husband has since seen an increase in income. We now have equity in our home but have $2500 in late fees that we are trying to make up by the end of 2012. The bank is coming after us – not taking our payments demanding funds in full in ten days. I fear they want the house now since we have equity. We have four kids and my husband works around the clock. I am trying so hard to stay strong for them. I am trying so hard to put it in God’s hands and not worry but I am so scared. Just asking for prayers. Just want to keep my family in our home. It could be so much worse and I am searching inside for faith – asking St. Joseph to intervene.

    • Jo,

      I am surrounding you with prayer. That must be so scarey, and God understands that our feelings can submerge us. Searching for faith is a strengthening of faith we already have…. May St. Joseph show you God’s plans for you in this situation, God’s care for you… Sr. Kathryn

  410. i pray to st joseph for a blessed holiday and happy new year with gods plans unfolding in my life and blessings of love, healing, deliverances, restorations of family problems. healing for my body..in my stomach of diseases, damage causing my body to produce gas, flatuence, intestinal gas, pray for good health in my body and mind this upcoming year. and safety and protection, love, and friendships

  411. I pray to saint Joseph to help my family out in this time of hardship. Please release my wife from the clutches of Satan, help her to stop her adultery, and soften her heart so that we may bring hapiness to our two beautiful children rosalinda and Oscar iii together as the lord wants us to. Please keep Oscar and claudia rodriguez in your prayers, as we pass through this very difficult stage of our nine year marriage. Help us to forgive each other, and to seek each other instead of others, if not for our good, for the good of our children. Thank you.

    • Oscar,

      I join with you in prayer. I have seen this happen so often…. God must hold our broken hearts in his hands and with many tears. His hands are strong yet gentle. I will pray for your wife and your family. Sr. Kathryn

  412. Please pray for my husband, Michael, to return home to me. He is going through a midlife crisis. He had to stay 100 miles away with his son due to a work situation, and he turned to an outside influence (another woman) 5 weeks ago and said he could never forgive me for a mistake I had made. He claimed he could not “get past it,” but he was getting past it just fine until he met this outside influence. He was planning to come home and even had a second job interview for a good stable job in our home town when he met the outside influence. It has crushed me horribly. We have nine years together and need God’s help to renew the wonderful gift of love he gave us that we were so careless with. I would never be careless again for I love him with all my heart.

    • Thank you all for praying for me. I just attended a job fair and feel positive about it.

    • Lisa,

      This must be so devastating. In your pain, find it within you to go forward in integrity and peace. Live your love perseveringly. I will pray to St. Joseph for you. Sr. Kathryn

      • Thank you so much. I feel there may be some hope. He has begun calling me every few days, but has not left the other woman yet. God may be working in mysterious ways. He told me that her “ex” just got out of prison and has been calling her. He is revealing signs of trouble in this relationship, which I shouldn’t wander that there is trouble. I pray multiple times every day and night that God will turn Michael’s heart back to Him and also to me.

  413. I want to thank St Joseph for his intercession in getting a job interview for my son next Thursday . Please pray that this interview will be successful as he has been unemployed for many months now and it has been hard not to get too discouraged during this time. I also pray that st Joseph will intercede to increase my and all of my family’s trust in God as this is more important than anything else although we don’t always realise this

    • Oh Good Lord, please help this young man to get the job on Thursday. Reveal your infinite mercy and glory on Elizabeth’s family. Thank you Lord.

  414. Please pray for my marriage to be saved. I have been with my husband now for 11 years and we have 3 beautiful little boys! I’m 28 yrs old. When I first met my husband up until a couple of years ago he was so loving and caring and he was my best friend. Now he is a totally different person and I’ve been fighting for my marriage for 2 years and I don’t want I give up bc I made a promise to The Lord and to my husband that I will love him unconditionally no matter what until death do us part. I know it’s so easy to just give up these days on a marriage bc they are having troubles and think that they don’t love that person anymore but I don’t want to give up bc I love my husband with all of my Heart and I know the kind of heart my husband has and the way he’s been lately isnt the way I’ve always known him to be. He’s very cruel with his words and it hurts so much to hear negative things coming from someone you love. Satan is trying his hardest to destroy my marriage but he will not win bc The Lord is on my side and satan will never be able to defeat my almighty God! I have faith and I trust The Lord will defeat satan and my marriage will be saved! I will continue to fight and I will not give up but I would also like your prayers! Please pray that The Lord changes my husbands hardened heart and that he removes all the hate resentment unforgivness that my husband has in his heart and to fill his heart with love joy peace & forgiveness. Also pray for me to have the strength to continue my battle with the devil and not give up. May The Lord change both my husband and I and make us into the husband/wife, mother/father, and children of god that he wants us to be. May The Lord bless all of you and may you have a blesed thanksgiving!

    • Hello Hmb, know that you & your husband are in our prayers. I know what you are going through, see my earlier posts from July 24 (use Ctrl-F to search in your browser for Bernie), & the reassuring replies from both Sr Kathryn as well as others here. Keep praying to St Joseph & keep your spirit up, knowing that everything is ordered to His almighty plans! Take care, stay positive, look after yourself, be encouraged, keep praying! Regards, Bernie. 🙂

      • Hello Bernie,

        Thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers! I will read your posts and I will definitely keep you in my prayers also! Have a wonderful and blessed thanksgiving!

        Heather!

    • I thank God for this website which is very inspiring for me. Please pray for my daughter whose only remaining tube is blocked and she is distressed because she wants to have another child.
      Pray for my husband whom I have been married to for the last 35 years and have four children. Of late he has bad tempers and has a tendency of showing a negative attitude towards me.He has stopped going to church and speaks badly of anything to do with church.
      Pray for us that we find someone to buy one of the houses we have so that we raise funds to rehabilitate our other three businesses.
      I pray that the good Lord will touch my daughter’s fertlity and give her a child. I pray that my husband will change his attitude towards me for sometimes he doesnt even want to eat what I prepare unless what our dependants prepare. I trust in your mercy Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

  415. Please help alleviate my foot spasms which arej causing nerve pain up my legs. I wish I could enjoy the holidays with my family, rather than spoil their time and make them sadjedd because of my foot

  416. Please pray for me for God’s divine protection. I have been having some difficulty in the office lately. Some persons in my place of work have conspired to blackmail me so that they could rubbish me in the face of our boss. May the lord intervene for me and safe my job from the evil plans of the enemy.

    • Hi Charles,
      Do not worry, you have asked God’s protection. The Almighty will surely protect you from all harm. Have confidence in Him. I pray to the Holy Spirit to uplift you from all problems and pour his wisdom on your boss to do justice to you.

  417. I recently moved to California and have been trying to buy a house. I have made offers on several, which I think are good offers, some $30,000 above the asking price, but someone always outbids me, and I can only be competitive to a point, as I do not have a lot of money. Please pray that St. Joseph will help me get an offer accepted on a house I want, very soon, as I am paying exorbitant storage fees for my furniture, apartment rent, etc. and I really need a home of my own. Thank you so much for any prayers you may offer on my behalf. God bless you.

  418. Thank you for your intercession in helping us get the 50% refund of the money immorally taken from us. Please help us to get the balance funds too. Please intercede for us in this regard and ask the Holy Spirit to guide all our actions and words towards getting our refund.

  419. Sr. Kathryn,
    Please pray for my only daughter who has a blocked fallopian tube following an ectopic pregnancy two years ago. She has one daughter and is trying to get pregnant. She is distressed over this. Also pray for my marriage that we get on well together with my husband as before.

    • Fredah,

    4. Because of all this stress, my health has also got affected:(

    I am going to surrender all my problems to St. Joseph who helps all in need of work, shelter, a spouse or any other problem! He is a very reliable “Protector & Provider” having protected & provided for Mary and Jesus during their most difficult times.

    Sr. Kathryn – please pray for me!

      Sr. Kathryn

  427. Sr Kathryn and Sr Sharon Thank you for your continued prayers. I remember each day and night in my prayers. My times are in God’s hands and there is no safer place to be. He sees all things and knows what I need for myself and family and all who seek Him. I truly trust St Joseph to protect us as he did his beloved Mary and Jesus, the son God. His God can trust Joseph, what more assurance do I need. Thank you for being there for me all this time. Always,Julie

And also for me to have patience and to really fight for him and for me to always be good and holy for him.

    • St. Joseph is a model of purity, not because of what he didn’t see but because of what he kept looking at: Jesus and his love for us, Mary and her love for us. When our eyes are filled with the radiance of goodness and virtue, it can overcome the attraction of lesser things.

      I will join you in prayer,
      Sr. Kathryn

  438. Update on the blessings that are flowing from your prayers for Michael Wise. Surgery is Monday am and the prognosis is excellent. They found out that the heart attack was so small it didn’t do any damage to his heart. What it did do is to alert them to the four major arteries that were blocked in order to prevent a damaging or fatal heart attack. Miraculous huh? ♥ God is so good and so are your prayers! Michael is a devoted, Christian husband, father and young grandfather. Thank you so much for your prayers for Michael and his family. They have seven children who need him very much. You are so awesome and the power of your prayers is phenomenal. Love you all!!!

  439. Please pray for me. I am a public school teacher on hard times and need God’s guidance with working with my administration. I love students and teaching and teaching is the only thing I ever really wanted to do in life. Thank you Sister Kathryn.

  440. Hello Sister. I have been praying to many saints and have been doing the 54 day rosary and received many great signs that my prayer will be answered and or granted. However God tells us to keep praying, keep asking till we get our prayers granted. Basically Me and my beloved ex girlfriend broke up because of her severe depression. I did not want to but she just got so confused that she had to. I been praying for her recovery from the depression and confusion and her return to me along with not heading down the road, which she started to. She is a sweat girl and the wrong turn of the road has left me a bit sacred. Please sister pray for her healing and her to turn away from the wrong road and come back to me. I thank you very much and may all the Saints and God be with you forever.

    • Ronnie,

      Depression is such a tricky and painful illness, which I know from personal experience after my stroke. I will pray for you both, for it calls forth true Christian charity and faith. You might be interested in my book: “Surviving Depression” 10th anniversary edition. It addresses both the person suffering from depression as well as friends and family member’s issues.

      I join you in prayer and openness to God’s plan for both of you.

      Michelle is suffering from psychological and physical problems. Please Lord touch her now so that the disease which has captured her for 7 long years will leave her this moment and enable her to live a life full of happiness and health praising your name for ever. Amen.

      Michelle, I will be circulating the above prayer request to prayer groups. Jesus will cure you, believe in him. Meanwhile you need to help yourself in order to help him help you. Stop worrying about yourself or what others think of you. Go about your daily chores with positive enthusiasm and zeal. Do not be surrounded by negative thoughts. Think positively so that the positive thoughts will engulf you and brighten your days with perfect happiness and health. Do not forget to thank God for every small improvement in your life. God Bless!

  462. Please pray to heal my marriage. Please pray my husband softens his heart, remembers his love for me and wants to commit on making our marriage last. I am in complete despair. Please hear my plee.

  463. Please St. Joseph I need your concilation in my time of trial. My marriage is in deep trouble. My husband is having an emotional internet affair and he denies that it is causing problems in our marriage. In fact, he says that there is nothing going on and then blames me. I pray that God will help him lose interest in the other woman. Please pray that God will soften his anger and resentment towards me he is so angry towards me. He is currently punishing me by giving me the silent treatment because I confronted him during one of our Retrovaille post meetings today. He has never been baptised and I fear that God cannot penetrate his hardened heart . I need guidance and peace because he won’t give up the other woman or the game that he met her on. Please pray that my husband will lose interest in laura and she will lose interest in him. Please pray to St. Joseph to intercede my prayers that God will break up and dissolve the relationship between my husband and laura. Please pray that my husband will become very confused each and everytime that he has contact with laura and that laura wil find another single man that she can replace my husband with. Please pray that God will save and heal our marriage if it is His will. Please pray that God will take away all the power, control and influence that laura has over my husband and he has over her.. My family is really hurting tonight please St. Joseph help us!

  464. Tomorrow I will be on retreat and I will pray to St. Joseph for each of the prayer intentions above. I often think he may have felt God had abandoned him…he had to go to Bethlehem, no room in the inn, leave town for Egypt and stay there for 6 or 7 years…. I know he understands each of our desperate needs as well as the difficult feelings and fears that haunt our minds and hearts. I also know he has discovered that God can’t abandon us, that God can and does work unexpected miracles out of the most unsuspecting circumstances. Let us turn in absolute confidence even as we worry, and expect his fatherly assistance.
    Sr. Kathryn

  468. Sasami, I know where you are as I am almost there myself but everyday I ask God, I ask St Joseph to take care of the situation. I will pray for you and I know the good sisters pray for you and believe me when I say that God would never ever forsake you. You are not forgotten. He has a plan. I will pray and I know others will too, God is a God of wonder and He is never late.

  469. I writing with an update on our situation. We are still going to be evicted on by October 26 if we cannot come up with $6,000. Of course my family does not have that kind of money. If we did we would have paid it already and our other utility bills, which are also past due. I feel as though God has abandoned my family and I to the wolves. I am constantly afraid and I fear that things will only become worse. Why has God forsaken me! Please someone or anyone out there, pray for me and my famiy to receive a financial blessing. I suffer from Basilar Migraines and the stress of this situation is only making my illness worse and worse as the days go by. I wish at times that God would allow me to die, yet my life has transforme to hell on earth. I pray that the lives of my mother mother, my brother, and myself will improve. St. Joesph and the Holy Family, please ask God to have mercy, and pray for the well-being my family.

    • Dear Sasami,
      You are in my prayers and all those to whom I have circulated an urgent prayer request for you. Through my experience I have seen that Jesus works with our problems only after we have completely handed it over to him. In your case by worrying you are still tightly holding on to your problems. Just give it to Him completely and stop worrying. Tell him to do His will. You will then see the sweet miracle of Jesus unfold in your life. After you have completely surrendered to him even if you are evicted do not worry, you are in safe hands. There is something much bigger waiting for you than you could ever imagine. For God’s will is very very sweet because he loves us dearly. Trust in your creator!

  470. St Joseph, please hear our prayer. We need to come to an agreement for the house on Park Blvd. It will suit our needs and give a comfortable place for mother to heal. It is not an excessive house. Please give mother guidance that she follow the instructions the doctor has given. Please give her comfort during this healing period since she he is without my father who is with you in heaven. The house on Park Blvd will give us rooms on one level so that mom doesn’t need to go up and down the stairs. It will give her yard enough to have her garden once spring arrives and she is healed. Please intercede on my behalf and shed a light on the seller so that she understands our need and trusts our proposal. Thank you St. Joseph

  471. St.Joseph, please intercede for my husband. He is suffering from severe leg pain. Please ask Jesus to touch him now and cure him. Thank you St.Joseph.

  472. Veronica, do not lose hope. Your are at the end of a bad phase and a begining of a good one. Pray the Divine Mercy Prayer and you will see how Jesus with all His mercy will left you up from your misery. I will circulate a prayer request for you now. Have faith.

    Divine Mercy Prayer –

    You expired, O Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls and an ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us. O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You. Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One have mercy on us and the whole world (3 times). Jesus, King of mercy I trust in you. Amen.

  473. 1 week left before I become homeless; I have prayed and looked for a home every day and been rejected or made a fool of . I went twice to see a room 2 hours away and no one would answer the bell.. It turns out the man was really just looking for a girlfriend. I have no time off left to look for a room; no one will let me move in. I ask for a blessing so I don’t take my own life. I don’t see any other way out. I ask St joseph to help me cope .

  474. ST JOESPH PLEASE TELL GOD TO HEAL MY BODY OF A HERNIA, GAS, AND FLATUENCE, AND DELIVER ME FROM PSYCHIATRY BECAUSE ITS NOT FROM GOD

  475. Please someone or anyone out there, pray for me and my family. We are going to lose our home today and we have no family and no where else to go.

I love him so much…My only wish on my birthday this month is to see him coming back…In Jesus Name i’m claiming my wish…Thank you.

    • I am praying for you

  482. Prayer Request For Marian Cenacle

    Please help us pray for prayer meeting tomorrow. It’s a very special prayer group because normally our Blessed Mother is very present there, but there is some harshness there from one of the leaders. She tends to ‘bark” at people without realizing it so I pray for her kindness because that could be why the numbers are dwindling. And the other leader can be self serving forgetting that to be a leader means to serve and not be served. This leader also tends to get distracted when it comes time to pray over people. He’ll start talking to others as they’re tending to the person being prayed over. So for both of these leaders to give people the full attention they need, especially this day because there will be a girl there who needs extra special attention. She is in a very difficult situation. May God guide them as they listen to her prayer request and give them Godly wisdom and insight because she needs serious relief from this situation and peace about what God is doing and how she is to respond to His promptings regarding this.

    Thank you!

    • Sr. Kathryn,
      In my busy life as a teacher, I have forgotten to submit some paperwork which was important to some of the students in my care. I have been distressed all day and fear I have hurt their chances of success and also undone all of my hard work as their tutor. I have been praying to St. Joseph that the organization collecting the paperwork is generous in spirit and accepts my apologies, and the students paperwork. Please say a prayer for us that my mistake does not punish them.

  483. Sr. Kathryn,
    My husband and I are in the beginning stages of looking for a new home and selling our current home. I was in awe of your willingness to pray for those in need of St. Joseph’s blessings. God has provided for us in so many ways and I pray that he will lead us in the direction of a home that is right for us. I pray that the right buyer will find joy in our present home, as well. I also ask for prayers for my father in law whom has offered to support us with a monetary gift.
    Thank you for listening to my prayer request.
    Carrie

I do not know whether to sell-out or wait until the building management decides to demolish and rebuild or repair. It is very scary and to add to my troubles – I live alone there!
    4. Because of all this stress, my health has also got affected:(

    I am going to surrender all my problems to St. Joseph who helps all in need of work, shelter, a spouse or any other problem! He is a very reliable “Protector & Provider” having protected & provided for Mary and Jesus during their most difficult times.

I humbly entreat you for the love of the amiable heart of Jesus with which yours was ever so inflamed to hear prayers and obtain my requests.

      Amen.

  502. beloved St Joseph
    Please pray for my family and for me. I am worried about my old and sick mother, I am substantially disabled and doing the best I know how, and my wife, upon whom I am dependent, is gradually trying to get rid of me. I have been in an abusive situation for fifteen or sixteen years out of our 24 together. I live in squalor and cannot care for my environment anymore; I am yelled at and castigated often, she is unfaithful, lives in a nice apartment, having abandoned me, and there is no affection in my life save for the love of my sons and mother. My wife won’t be involved in the Church with me. I am trying hard but it counts for nothing; my heart is broken, I am always in pain, and cannot sleep because of the local weather but she has refused to let us move where it is warmer. I have no heat but space heaters, and live in an uninsulated attic in a very cold and damp place. I wake up crying more often than not, if I sleep at all. This is no way for a 61 year old father of two to have to live. I reached the end of my rope long ago, and am hanging on in sheer desperation. I love my family and do not know how to keep going. I don’t drink and I pray and read the Bible daily. There are blessings in my life, but I am still in a living hell that just keeps on getting worse. I don’t want to die like this, but I am going downhill, fast. Every day is an agony.
    May God always bless you and those that help you in prayer. St.Joseph, you knew tribulation too, but your wife was Mary. Can you help? Please? I am about done with.
    Thank you very much.

    • Please pray the Divine Mercy prayer –
      You expired, O Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls and an ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us. O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You. Amen

    • Chris,

      I will pray that this situation will be more blessed for you. But most of all I pray to St. Joseph to walk with you through it, to give you the courage he had to miraculously BE in each situation in unexpected grace and holiness and faith. Know that whatever is done to you, nothing can separate you from the relationship God has for you, the relationship that will define you for all eternity. It is of the cross the saints are made.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  503. Requesting please pray for me; I work every day but it is not a good job and I make little money. I must move by Oct 23. I have no family and will be out on the street. Please pray that I will find a place to go and a better job. I will be praying for all above too. Thank you.

  504. We have Christmas celebration for inner-city people. It is 12.17.2012. We ask that you pray that God saves, heals and renews a lot of people and that all go well.

  505. Please, St. Joseph..I’m hurting and I need Your help. My partner jhay left me and it’s like he killed me. I don’t know how to go on. I don’t know how to fix this alone. I feel like he died too, because he’s gone from my life. I have lost my bestfriend and partner, but I still love him. I wish he still loved me too. I miss him so much. I want him back so bad. This hurting is awful, and I don’t know how to make it better now. Please make him see the good in me and why i acted like i did.please St. Joseph i pray to you to make him see why he cared about me at the start…please send him back to me…Help us work things out. Please St. Joseph, make him talk to me, and be with us to help us communicate. I’m begging You, St. Joseph, to bring us back together again soon. I’m falling into pieces. Help me St. Joseph.

  506. Sr. Kathryn, I posted a prayer request before and I want to ask you please pray for me still. The person I dearly love whom I am asking St. Joseph everyday to be the one for me has not come back yet but in all honesty I really can feel that God has answered my prayers already and He just wants me to wait. I ask Papa Joseph and Mama Mary for an intercession that I be able to spend the rest of my life with this person, his name is Ronald and I really love him so much. I often pray that I would be allowed to serve God as his wife and as a mother to our children. Please Sr. Kathryn, pray for me always. Thank you very much!

  507. Sr. Kathryn: I know that I have written multiple times about similar concerns, but I feel so hopeless. I beg St. Joseph to come to my aid and guide me in the final resolution of a transfer of real estate – that all will be in order, that sibling will sign necessary documents without concerns and reminder, that timing will be correct, that all subsequent property matters will work out for best. This has and continues to cause me great worry and anxiety. Thank you and all prayer partners. God bless you.

  508. We need you to pray for us Sister. Everything
    was going real good until this afternoon.
    We sold our house today. But our appraisal
    on the new house came back short.
    We want this house more than anything.
    Sister please pray for us.

  509. Please pray for my husband to find a new, stable job and for us to find a safe place to live. We are starting a family and are in need of St. Joseph’s intercession.

  510. God I believe nothing is impossible in your name, if I implored God would restore my relationship with Yunian, I hope You will make it come True, help me God I’m getting desperate.

  511. Dear Lord Jesus.

    I’m waiting for a miracle in my life so that my relationship is restored back.

    Deliver me from this pain God.

    O’ miraculous Lord please touch his heart and turn his heart to me.

    Please Lord make him come back to me in Jesus’ name. I just want to be with him. Lord Jesus grant my this humble petition and for whole of my life I will be grateful to you.Bless me and give strength.

    Lord I give my life and my boyfriend’s life into your loving hands and your care. My soul is hurting. I have been through so much in my life. I really love this person and want to spend rest of my life with him.

    Please help me.

    Please Lord let this be my Christmas gift in Jesus’ name.

    Thanks you and i love you.

    Me-an

  512. Dear Sister and Readers – I want to thank St. Joseph, whom I prayed to as the patron saint of workers to request his intercession to get a job with the VA, for helping me get so far in the process; I’ve been interviewed, my department chose me, and now all my past education, training and history has to be verified. Through the help of the Lord and the saints, I am 98% of the way there, for which I am grateful; I am praying (and ask St. Joseph’s help) that the last 2% of the journey will be expedited, because this part is taking more time and effort than the previous 98% of the process did. Also, I please pray that my patience, fortitude and stamina increase and that I do not become depressed or paralyzed by obstacles.

  513. Dear St. Joseph,

    Please pray for me that my papers for work sponsorship transfer and permits will be done on time in a fast way so I can go for vacation as scheduled and will no longer worry days before that. Amen.

  514. Dear powerful St Joseph, I pray fervently that you intercede for us with the Father through your adopted son Christ Our Lord, to open the eyes of those in the Church who are engaged in a desperate strategy of acceptance, in the hope that by rejecting sacred order and instead embracing doctrinal expressions of therapeutic aims they will be embraced by the dominant culture. [Rieff] If their eyes will not be opened we ask that their eyes then be closed permanently and taken home. Amen.

  515. My family and I have been searching for a house, we have been approved. I put an offer on two houses and no luck really. One house was nice but needed some constructions and the sellers were difficult and the other house is almost perfect but the sellers want way too much and the house property value and assessed value is about 30,000 more. We do like this house and we did a counter. Please pray that we find a nice house before winter hits that is perfect for our family. Please pray that our offer accepted. I have been letting God guide me along this path… We need the power of prayer right now. there is so much going on and I am feeling too overwhelmed. I lost someone very dear to me and that has taken its toll. Thanks
    Marguerite

    • Marguerite,

      Do stop and take some deep breathes and spend a little time each day in a beautiful spot, even taking a walk. This can help when we are overwhelmed. I hear your concern to find a house before winter. I will pray for this also. Don’t try to run from the overwhelmed feeling but walk through it and you will find some peace.

      Sr. Kathryn

  516. Hi Sister Kathryn,
    Please continue to keep Sonya and her family in prayer. The ravages of her cancer are damaging the entire family. Our heavenly Father and St. Joseph both know exactly what she needs and I am trusting in the Divine Mercy to provide that for them. I hope you are doing well. Keep my family in your prayers please.
    Love and prayers for all of you 🙂
    Lots of hugs coming your way as well.
    Dani MarieBernadette

    • Hi

      I will ask the sisters to pray for Sonya tomorrow at Mass. I always remember that the “blasphemies” of the sick are their prayers. Our prayers for her can keep the grace flowing her way.

      Good to hear from your again and watch your responses to others. Wisdom….

      Sr. Kathryn

  517. Sisters Kathryn and Sharon
    St Joseph picked the right job for me – the people are great – we had many papers to sign for the bank to see if we can keep the house – my credit is not great after being unemployed for two years and no money in the bank but I think I may have a little credit in heaven and so am asking St, Joseph to represent me and my family to the bank officials – my sisters say that they make the decisions but I like to think that my times and life are in God’s hands. Thank you for your continued prayers and I hope He grants me the favor of staying here in this house. I remember you each day when I say rosary to St Joseph and all those on the website. Much love always, Julie

      • Sr Sharon and Sr Kathryn
        Thank you for your continued prayers. They help me so much. I am so used to saying a rosary in the morning to St Joseph now I can’ imagine stopping. I would love your continued intercession for my family and our mother’s house. As I mentioned, my credit is shot but I keep asking St Joseph to bring it to a good resolve and I know that anyone who is faithful to him, and trusts his guidance is sure to have the best results. Much love to all of you. I do remember you and everyone on the websites when I say my rosary. Always, Julie

  518. Lord Jesus,Please come to my rescue. I feel that some people are despitefully using me,and trying to steal my due and honour.I have worked very hard on those reports,inspite of odd circumstances.You have been my witness.I have also committed the work into your hands before I started on it.And you have helped me.Now the people whom I did the work for and tried to help are behaving in a very uncertain way.I beg your compassion my Lord.Have mercy.Please send your angels to help.In Jesus name I pray,Amen.

    • Peace.

      I will pray for your special intention and entrust you to St. Joseph. I like to think when Jesus got lost in the temple, St. Joseph might have felt as you did…. the carpet ripped out from under his feet. I think he would understand how you are feeling and may have a special secret to share with you when you reflect upon his life.

      Sr. Kathryn

  519. St. Joseph I implore you for your intercessions. I am struggling in all spheres of my life and I desperately ask for a release of the worry, fears, and anxieties that consume me. I pray for guidance to find a grief counselor; that interactions and relationships with family will be positive; that property situations may be resolved to the best possible end for all parties; for other issues to resolve; for answers to prayers offered daily; for those who are ill, despairing like myself, alone without intercession, the dying. Thank you. May God bless each of you.

  520. Dear St Joseph, our lives are in complete turmoil. Please ease our situation by finding us a buyer for our house as soon as possible. I have no idea what we’ll do if we dont sell so please please please help us
    Thank you
    Niamh

  521. I know I have written many times, requesting many prayers. I feel very discouraged and am worried and fearful over many unresolved issues. I pray that these issues will proceed with some resolution very soon in order that I may experience some relief. I pray for all in need of prayer and for those who are suffering in any way. May God bless all requesting prayer and all who are praying.

  522. sr Kathryn please pray for my daugther, SUMESHNEE to learn her schoolwork and help her pass grade 11.My son SUMEHAN to overcome his fears and aniexty.My son KAAVESHAN not to be afraid of his teacher.Hubby SAHDA for his health Thank you .BERNIE

  523. Please pray for me as I suffer from anxiety and battle depression from unresolved issues. I worry too much and right now I am in a hamster wheel of worry and “what ifs”. Please pray for my sister and niece that they will find jobs, good jobs that fit their skills and financial needs. Thank you! God bless!

    • Kelly,

      Take a deep breath! Find ways to discover beauty and to be with happy people. Put together a little support team. You can’t always do it alone…. I will pray for you and your sister and niece. God is walking by your side.

      Sr. Kathryn

  524. missionarychurchofallnations@gmail.comThank You isn’t enough, for your services. I really and truly want to say that you are a women of your word. Thou at first I was unsure, but I am glad I followed my heart. You have been not just my spiritual advisor, you have also became my friend. For anyone who is a first timer, have no fear because your answer is here. I came to Angel very much confused, and broken hearted. And what I thought I wanted, wasn’t what I needed. Angel opened a whole new road that I never ever thought that I could take. I feel brand new. I have a new home, and I have a new man in my life that wants not just me but my kids as well, he’s already calls me his wife. Angel I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, you have kept it real from day one, you are always there when I need you, you answer my emails, with that all being said, to any body who reads this, SHE IS WORTH IT, TRUST ME YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!!!

  525. Please pray for me and my family. My husband left me and our 2 kids about 2 years ago. It still hurts me so much. I have asked him over and over again but nothing. He is enjoying being single and the world life. Please pray for him to see how much its hurting us and for him to come back home. I have had so much stress that I have had 3 seizures. I need prayer for myself so God can give me peace and happiness. I dont want to feel depressed anymore. I just feel like I can’t do it anymore.
    I just dont know what to do anymore. I want to give up.
    God bless you.

    • Angie,

      This is certainly one of the most painful experiences in your life…to be rejected by a spouse…. You must find some people to help support you. You will find new ways to be, to travel through your life which has been changed by the decision of your husband. It breaks our heart, but in the midst of the brokenness there is life and hope. But sometimes we can’t find it ourselves, we need a friend, a guide to help us.

      I will be praying to St. Joseph for you,
      Sr. Kathryn

    • Annette,

      Your son is discovering that God’s ways are so mysterious and gracefilled…and we often can’t figure out why things happen. We will discover that God has never made a mistake…. I will pray for your son.

      Sr. Kathryn

  527. Thank you Saint Joseph for being with me..I accept my situation although I don’t understand or agree with it. I know A major blessing is coming for a job, spouse and new start of new life. Please help me to walk righteously like you did for many years.

  528. I humbly ask for prayers for the repose of the soul of my mother who passed one year ago; to find a grief counselor; for positive relationship with brother/family; for a property situation, including document signings, to resolve successfully without conflict; to be guided in vehicle and financial decisions; for the poor-ill-dying-hopeless. thank you.

  530. We have had our home for sale in Northern Ontario for the past 4 months to move back to Nova Scotia. My mother is starting to show signs alzhimers. We want to be there for my father who is 79 years old. I don’t want him to have to face this alone. We have purchased a home there but we must sell this home first. I just pray that God will see that I need to get back to Nova Scotia to help my father. And I would like to see my mother at the early stage before she’s gone into her own world. I am so afraid but I know God will help me. I ask that those how read this will also pray for me and my family.

  531. Cld you pls pray for a suitable husband for me. I am praying for this all my life. Some sisters told me to pray to St Joseph last year which I am doing. I did meet someone special last year but although I tried so hard in many ways I still messed up, (I won’t bother analysing his side of story or giving all the details) and he has completely finished with me. I feel the nuns’ prayers were so powerful last year and that is why I am asking you for your help. Thank you so much.

    • Peace. Know that I am praying for you. Marriages demand alot of both persons in the marriage, alot of personal growth, patience, and love. As you search for the love of your life you can grow in these areas of your own life under the guidance of St. Joseph. Each of us need to practice these things daily.
      Sr. Kathryn

  532. Please pray for my daughter,she is being transfered in her job to another city and has to be moved there in 3 days and can’t find a place to live. I pray that it will all come together today while she is there looking and that it will all fall into place so that she doesn’t feel anxiety any longer. Thank you.

    • Joseph,

      Though the world may abandon you, God could never abandon you. These are hard times. I am so sorry that it is so difficult for you. Tell St. Joseph clearly that you need his help to survive at this time and to show you a way, then keep your eyes open for new options.

      I will pray with you,
      Sr. Kathryn

  533. Please pray that my husband will drop all divorce action against me soon & permanently. Our 3 children & I love him, but we are helpless. Unless God intervenes, the end is close. Please pray that God will heal & transform him; and work a mighty miracle to restore our marriage for good. I’ve been visiting my local St Joseph’s Church & begging St Joseph to intercede for us. Please also pray that I’ll be given faith, strength & guidance to survive this crisis. Thank you.

    • Margaret,

      God is walking with you through this crisis. And crying with you. He gave us the gift of free will, but sometimes through pain, ignorance, or sometimes malice, we misuse it and hurt other people. But God is not that way. St. Joseph as well as Jesus suffered at the hands of others. They came to know, however, that even when everyone abandoned them, still the Father cared about them. I will pray with you to St. Joseph.

      Sr. Kathryn

  534. IM SUPER SAD AND DEPRESSED about where my vocation is in life right now. I’m 35 and I am scared I won’t get married. It seems day by day my biological clock is ticking. I have been praying for nearly 7 years to meet a husband. I don’t know what I am doing wrong. All I ever wanted was a chance to be a mother and have children. I don’t desire anything else. I come from a dysfunctional family and both of my parents have passed away. I have a had a hard life. I just want a family to call my own. I seriously can’t do this walk alone anymore. It is one of the worst crosses I have ever beared. I EVEN ASKED MY OWN PARENTS TO INTERCEED AND BRING ME A HUSBAND. NOTHING. I ASKED GOD DONE NUMEROUS NOVENAS NOTHING. I GUESS HE DOESN’ T WANT ME TO BE MARRIED. IF ONE MORE PERSON SAYS MAYBE TRY I CONVANT I AM GOING TO BE VERY UPSET. NOT TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE BEAUTIFUL VOCATION OF BEING A NUN BUT I HAVE NO DESIRE TO RUN OFF TO A CONVENT. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DEPRESSED. IF ONE MORE PERSON

    TELLS ME SINGLE LIFE IS A VOCATION I AM GOING TO CRY. I LITERALLY HAVE. GOD DIDN’T WANT US ALONE WITHOUT A HELPMATE. IT SAYS SO IN THE BIBLE. AND IF ONE MORE PERSON TELLS ME THAT YOU FIND SOMEONE WHEN YOU AREN’T LOOKING THAT IS NOT TRUE. THE HEART DESIRES WHAT THE HEART DESIRES.

    I AM APPROACING MID THIRTIES AND WORRIED SO MUCH.

    I KNOW NOT TO WORRY. BUT HOW CAN AND DID THIS HAPPEN?

    I AM SO TIRED OF PEOPLE TELLING ME TO OFFER IT UP. I HAVE BEEN ALONE MY WHOLE LIFE . SOMETIMES IT REALLY HURTS AND BRINGS NO CONTENTMENT.

    WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG? PLEASE PRAY FOR ME SAINT JOSEPH. I FIND SOMEONE.

    SAINT RITA SAINT PADRE PIO.

    I AM SO SAD IM NOT GETTING MY HEARTS DESIRE. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME TO HAVE THE GRACES TO KEEP GOING

    • I will pray for you. I know how you feel. You are not alone in your situation. I have been there before. You are also not alone because God is with you. He has someone special for you who will be worth the wait. When you find him, the years of waiting will make your love for him that much stronger. I am no expert on God’s plans or on the right thing to say to comfort you. Just don’t give up. Life is a gift full of blessings. Also, remember how much God loves you and wants you to be happy. If you can keep reminding yourself of that, your faith should tell you that it will happen.

  535. St. Joseph I plead for your intercession in my life: for my mother who passed one year ago tomorrow; that I may find the ability to cope with grief; for good relationships with sibling/family; for successful resolution to decisions and issues; for those in need – physically, spiritually, mentally.

  536. I am trying to buy a house with a very limited budget. I want a nice home for a family. I am engaged and my fiance and I want to start a family after we are married. A house means a home for my future family. Unfortunately, every time I make an offer, my offer is up against ten to fifteen other offers and I lose every time. Please pray for me to find a home soon. Thank you and God bless you.

    • Amy,

      There is a home waiting for you somewhere, and we always have a home in God’s heart. I encourage you to explore options you may not have thought of before, bringing each to St. Joseph to ask his advice.

      I will be praying for you and your happy marriage and future family!

      Sr. Kathryn

      • Don’t loose heart. I am a Real Estate Broker and I work with a ton of investors and a ton of first time home buyers who have the same problem. You are not alone. I understand your frustration. Sometimes on any one buyer I write 10 to 15 offers alone. I keep telling them keep going something will come. We are just in a great market with great prices and a ton of buyers. Keep casting your net like Jesus did. I just know the right house at the right time will come.

        I need to take this own advice I give too:) Good luck to you!

        I will keep you in my prayers:)

      • Brooke, thank you for your compassion. I tell myself constantly to “Let go and let God.” I appreciate your wisdom and prayers. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless you.

  537. Please pray for me. I thank you for the sincere messages you always have for people who ask for your prayers. I thank God for you, sister.
    Please, I have been praying to St. Joseph and Mother Mary for the person I dearly love to come back to me and this time for good. I have been asking for God’s blessing and mercy that He gives me the opportunity to serve Him as a wife and a mother. A wife to the person I dearly love his name his Ronald and mother to our children. Please help me also ask St. Joseph to intercede for me for that chance, opportunity, obligation to bring him closer to God and may I share God’s love and blessing with him. I pray and ask that he be back to me soon. I dearly love him and St. Joseph knows this for I often tell him this. I know that He answers prayers. Thank you so much.

    • St. Joseph and Mary had the closest and dearest of relationships as they cared for the Son of God. Both of them will understand your desire to love in a pure and holy way and to give life. I will pray that you will have your opportunity to give love and find God’s plan for your life.

      Sr. Kathryn

  538. Please pray for me and my family. We are at risk to lose our home because we cannot afford to pay our rent. Please ask St. Joseph intercede on our behalf for a financial blessing and for my family to keep our home.

    • Sophia,

      For a mother or father this must be a nightmare. St. Joseph lived through this when he had to leave Bethlehem for Egypt instead of returning to his home at Nazareth. God has promised to be there for us in every difficulty and this is the secret St. Joseph learned was true. I will be praying for you, trusting that it is also true for you.

      Sr. Kathryn

  539. Life is a matter of growth. We do the best we can with what we know and the strength we have along the way. Know that nothing is a detour for God. Nothing is a mistake. Whatever happened, no matter why, God is perfectly capable of creating something beautiful for you. I will pray with you to St. Joseph that things will work out. As you get on with your life know that you have growing in wisdom through this, and the awareness that God is with you in everything.

    Sr. Kathryn

  540. Dear St. Joseph,
    I made a mistake when little and eloped with a bad man. Now I am in process of getting a divorce from him. Please pray to Jesus and Mary for me that he will sign the settlement agreement and do all necessary papers and turn them to my lawyer so I can move on with my life and get this nightmare behind me. I beg you for your help. I am desperate, hopeless and sad. Please help me.

  541. Prayer Request for Scott’s Depression

    For Scott’s depression to lift so that light can come back into his world and those around him. And for him to come back into God’s world where he can come back to life.

    • Peace.

      I will be praying for Scott. Depression is so painful, so difficult to come out of the darkness. I have lived through it and wrote “Surviving Depression: A Catholic Approach” which is coming out with a revised version next month for its tenth anniversary. There are many things in our faith which can help us.

    • Patricia,

      Listen well and you will hear the wisdom of St. Joseph in your search for a life partner, for he himself searched for one himself. He knew how much God can be a part of that process and that a married life can play a large part in the history of salvation.

      I will be praying,
      Sr. Kathryn

  542. So good to hear from you Sister!! Missed you
    Thank you. Yes I need God and I know
    He loves me back. Thank you for bringing
    Me closer to Him. Always. Julie

  543. Please pray that my sublease process will go through smoothly and it will help me to move back to my parents house and be able to pay my semester of school. It is very important so please pray for me.

    • Blake,

      I cannot help you myself, but I know someone who can…. I know God is caring for you, smoothing the way as he walked into your life gently and with quiet power, always seeking your best interest. Let us trust St. Joseph to give us a great devotion to Jesus and trust in divine providence.

      Sr. Kathryn

  544. please pray fro me i have lot of debts i dont know what to do pleas ebrother i dont have money to pay intrest also everybody lost hope on us i have to give money to many of them please i beg jesus to help to clear my debts please pray for me urgently

    • Anita,

      Please be assured of my prayers for you in this desperate situation. Tell St. Joseph that you are trusting in the power of his protection to get you through this and to help you experience the wonder of God’s care for you through it all.
      Sr. Kathryn

  545. Help my boyfriend and I find our first home. We don’t leave together at this moment. my daughter is leaving to college in 9 days. I’m afraid of staying by myself. Please bring my boyfriend and I closer together. Make a family. Give us a chance. Thank you. Amen

    • Bonnie,

      St. Joseph would understand your situation very much. With what delicacy he treated Mary in those uncomfortable weeks when he was trying to figure out his future, their future, when he discovered Mary was with child. Ask him to help you look to the future with hope. Trust in the power of your guardian angel to comfort and protect you. I shall also pray for you.
      Sr. Kathryn

  546. Sr Kathryn and Sr Sharon
    This week and next week, would you please say an extra prayer for me to St Joseph? I say the rosary to him everyday – I did get a temporary job for three months starting August 22 – when my unemployment ended June 6th it’s been tough with no money. I am so grateful to God and St Joseph for this opportunity to have basics again and pay bills. I thank you for praying for me.

    We still have the mortgage dilemma but I keep thinking God is working it out no matter how it seems. Some of those near to me are very pessimistic but God has a plan and He is never late. I remember you every night when I pray and ask blessings on those who leave their requests here. St Joseph please provide for me this day and for all who ask of you.

    Always, Julie

    • Julie,

      So good to hear from you. Yes I will remember you in prayer. On retreat I realized how often God the Father is walking through the gardens of our life asking, “Where are you?” Tell him, “I am here and I need you.”

  547. St. Joseph, yes you know what it is to provide for a family please help me get this job so that i might be able to provide for mine. I’ve recently been out of work for just over a year now. My husband has been carrying our financial burden and having to deal with my frequent melt downs over not having a job. My young daughter suffers too as i have been so consumed by my joblessness. I don’t know how much longer my family and I can handle this.
    Yesterday I had an interview at the local high school for a school counseling position. please pray that, if it be God’s intention, I was successful in this interview and that i will be hired for this position. I know that there are many other people who have bigger issues than not having a job, I pray for them, but please pray that I get this job as a school counselor at SHS in CT. Please.
    Thank You and God Bless you.

  548. Prayer Request for Brother in Christ

    For Vincent who has been treating his sister in Christ more than awful lately. May he not take advantage knowing that all she will give him is unconditional love and that he treat her with the respect and kindness as God would expect. He’s angry at the world and it’s all falling on her. So please help us pray for a melt down in Vincent’s heart and that things turn around and instead that he help her in her great hour of need.

  549. Please help me in my prayer to Saint Joseph. I’m not in need of selling house nor do I, knowingly, have a loved one near death. I do need to get a job. I’m a recent graduate of Saint Joseph College in CT with a masters degree in School Counseling. By the grace of God, I’ve completed all my course work and required field assignments. I’ve volunteered at an urban school for manny years, have completed professional presentation at a local counseling conference and have spent four years working a school for children with special needs.
    I’ve applied to over 14 different schools and not a one has asked that i come in for an interview. I’ve done and redone and redone and redone again my letters of introduction and resume.
    I have a family -husband and beautiful daughter- I need to get hired soon or I fear that my emotional state will wear my family out. I’m also feeling the need to help my husband by taking the financial burden off his back. I really really really want the chance to help the children attending the schools in our communities.
    So no i don’t need for home to sell; I need my application materials to sell my skills and experiences to school districts so that i might get hired as a school counselor in CT soon. If it be God’s will I hope it happens soon and if it’s not then may He grant me and family patience. Thank you and Bless you

    • I recently prayed that St.Joseph might help me in prayers to obtain a job as a school Counselor in CT. the day after i posted this intention i received a phone call from a local school requesting me for an interview. THANK YOU St.Joseph, Thank you GOD and Jesus.
      I pray now for two things.
      Firstly I pray that my mother in Law becomes well again as she has been suffering for many months without know the cause of her illness.

      Secondly, I pray now that the interview/s I have not go well and that I am able to get this job so that i can contribute to my community and help my husband to support our family. GOD, Jesus and St. Joseph please, I am so desperate for this Position! Please, if it be GOD’s will, let me get this job as a school Counselor at SHS in CT and if not may you grant me patience. Thank you and GOd bless

  550. Dr Sr Kathryn,
    Please help me in my prayer to St Joseph – I am very, very desperate to sell my house. I need to sell immediately as I am in urgent need of medical treatment. I have been unable to work for two years. My father, during a heart attack, collapsed on top of me and left me seriously debilitated. His heart attack was due to very high levels of stress as my mother was dying from cancer. It has been a nightmare period for me. I am now practically destitute, and it is only thanks to the help of friends that I have food on the table. My stress levels are continuous and making me even more ill. I desperately now need to find a buyer – it is my only way of financing the necessary treatment in order to be able to find my way back to living any type of normal life again, to be in a state of health to even contemplate seeking work. I pray St Joseph will help me – I do not see a way forward out of this. Bless you and thank you for any prayers you can say on my behalf.
    Marianne

    • Marianne,

      Oh my. Your life has certainly taken unexpected directions. My heart goes out to you. I will pray for the grace that a way to pursue medical treatment will open up for you. In the meantime I encourage you to do the almost impossible act of courage of thanking God for the little miracles you unearth on the way…. God is already taking care of you through the prayers of St. Joseph.

      Sr. Kathryn

      • Thank you Sr Kathryn. I know I am being protected during this terrible time – otherwise I would not have survived thus far – and I will indeed ( as I often do ) give thanks. I can actually see the * design * in all of this – on one level it is sheer madness – on another it has caused me to focus deeply and to reflect at great length, and to understand the nature of life and its mysteries, the traumas carried from generation to generation. All of this illness has forced me to slow down and has not allowed me to run away from past agonies – so I can accept the logic in all of this – and hope that soon, very soon, I will be allowed to finally move forward. The sale of my house will be the opening of the gate… Many prayers, from many sources, have sustained me. And yours are greatly, greatly appreciated. Thank you and bless you. Marianne

      • Sr Kathryn, I just wish to keep you updated… something ( I pray ) is happening… A lady viewed my house, unexpectedly, since my writing to you, likes it very much, and returns on Monday to see it again and for more information. Please pray that this time it sells… It is my answer to freedom in every sense, for it allows me to pursue medical treatment which, in turn, is the key to being healthy and to finally begin to work again. I pray to St Joseph that he answers my prayer – I feel he is already working so hard for me – I never expected this phonecall today. Thank you to you and your Sisters for helping me in this hour of great need. I have been very ill in recent days, due to stress, and needed medical attention… I never before appreciated how dangerous stress can be. Thank you from my heart, Marianne

  551. Please, I am in need of more prayers to sell my home in Florida. It has been in foreclosure for 5 years and I have been offered a short sale from Bank of America. This will not only help me net almost $10k that I sure could use but, will save my credit from a foreclosure. I am unable to bury the statue on the property however, I am hoping with the help of prayers of others – it will sell. Thank you so much and may God bless and keep you all healthy and safe.

    • Jackie,

      I am praying that this possibility will bring you all you need and increase your faith in God’s ultimate trustworthiness and St. Joseph’s power.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  552. Please ask for St. Joseph’s intercession in the sale of our house. We have had the house on the market since late March and have had many showings but no offers. Most people who see it tell our agent that it’s beautiful, but they want something more updated or newer or they don’t like the one carpet that we didn’t replace. I’m assuming that their agents aren’t telling them that the replacement cost of the carpet in one room would be under $1,000 and shouldn’t hold up a sale. Or they can’t buy until they sell. We followed all the HGTV-type advice and updated the paint, flooring, etc., replaced the roof two years ago and just replaced the HVAC when it went out during the first heat wave. We staged the furniture to what we thought buyers wanted, but alas, no offers. The house is in a good neighborhood and has nearly two acres. It’s close to shopping, restaurants, schools, churches, etc.

    I am quite frustrated. My mother-in-law and I both buried St. Joseph statues in June for her late mother’s house and for our house. The other house (the one my mother-in-law had from her mother) has sold, but we have not. At the time we received the St. Joseph statue, we did step out on faith and put in an offer for a house in the town to which we are moving because of our jobs. We are supposed to close tomorrow if the paperwork is complete. We were supposed to close last week, but the closing was delayed twice. We have been assured that we have the house, but it’s all the blasted paperwork at the end.

    This is a big leap of faith to have two house payments until our house sells. I have been praying to St. Joseph even though I’m not Catholic (actually raised Methodist but married a Baptist), but I did unfortunately miss a couple of days when I was out of town for a seminar. I am nearing the end of a nine-day novena and am not sure if I have done it correctly. I really want this house to sell so that we can move into our new house and not have the financial stress and worry of upkeep of one home in another town while we are trying to settle into our new town.

    I had tried the St. Joseph statue five years ago with our other house, but I got disgusted with the first agent we had, fired her and dug up St. Joseph because I thought it wasn’t working. I’m wondering now if I have been punished for that action because I didn’t have faith then. We did later sell that home with another aggressive agent. We have the same agent (the one who sold the other house that was in a downward spiral neighborhood) for the current house, but nothing is happening. I’m not a patient person, so I’m wondering if I am being punished for not having patience. I know on one level that the current house has to sell on God’s time and not my time, but I’m honestly not sure how much more anxiety I can take at this point. We have had our house-selling woes on the prayer list at our Sunday School class and have asked our friends to pray for us. Now I’m asking for even more prayers.

    • Elizabeth,

      There seem to be three issues here:

      1) The nature of God. God is love. He will not punish you for impatience (a feeling) or for digging up a statue. Neither is God a supermarket in the sky…. I put in a quarter and God responds by giving me something. He is in between. He has created the world and then came in his Son to live in it so that we might one day live in the heart of his inner world–the Trinity. We see in Christ that God can work out everything even when the lines we see are crooked.

      2) Anxiety. You are in a potentially very stressful situation with two homes for the indefinite future. In the Catholic faith, we often talk of God’s divine providence, something St. Joseph himself had to learn…. Even in crazy situations, God was still caring for Joseph, Mary and Jesus. Joseph had to wait to see what God was doing so he could get on God’s team in his regard. God’s plans are always for your good. Even when life throws you a curve ball, God will always be there with you through it, carrying you if need be.

      3) Selling your house. I will pray with you that your house will sell as soon as possible, so you can move on in your life with greater faith, stronger trust, and an immense assurance that God’s love for you is endless and immense.

      Sr. Kathryn

      • An update: We had a couple return for the second time as I neared the end of a second novena. But they chose to go up in price (up in price?) rather than buying our house. I was heartbroken as I thought they were the ones. I cried for most of a day over a silly house that simply won’t sell. I have felt abandoned in my time of need. Nonetheless, I will keep trying to have faith and keep trying to pray. If it doesn’t sell soon, we will turn it into an investment property. Please keep praying that it does sell and we don’t have to take a loss.

      • Elizabeth,

        I can hear how broken-hearted you must have felt. I’m so sorry. Sometimes the wild ways of our good God make no sense to us, but in some way the Bible tell us he is always near at hand, helping us through each of our life’s difficult moments. I will pray that things turn out as you hope, or at least that you find yourself amazingly cared for no matter what happens.

        Sr. Kathryn

  553. I ask for St. Joseph to intercede for me once again. Today I am filled with anxiety and feel my world is unraveling. I am overwhelmed by a number of situations – still struggling with the loss of my mother; concerns over family situations and interactions; worry over a property matter that is not resolved due to mistakes by the attorney’s office and surveyor and new concerns that my sibling is not respecting my property/privacy; for vehicle situations to resolve well and without discord; for all who need prayers. Thank you.

  554. Please ask St. Joseph to intercede for a financial miracle, blessing for my Dad and my stepmom, Rhona. Their car is totalled and Rhona needs to get to work, plus they are really short of money. My Dad is really, really stressed. We usually help but all of our financial circumstances are not good either. Please help us dear St. Joseph! With humble affection and hope in your powerful intercession. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I love you – save souls!

    • Kelly,

      I entrust your emergency needs to St. Joseph who understands what it is to have one’s plans changed unexpectedly, bringing new challenges.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  555. Dear Sr. Kathryn,

    I am going through a very difficult time in my marriage at the moment. I am 44, have been married for nearly 22 years (1st Sept 1990), have 3 beautiful children, Vincent 17, Amy 14, & Lucy nearly 11. My wife Stephanie told me on the 25th May (2 months this week) that she no longer loves me & wants a separation! While we have not physically separated yet, we are both still living at home, although in separate bedrooms, & while I have been doing everything I can to try & turn things around & convince her otherwise, she is adamant in her decision & is now looking for rental places to move out. She is also planning taking the children with her & told me I’ll still have them 3 out of 4 weekends a month!

    I have been praying with much determination, getting to Mass almost daily, praying the rosary daily, the divine mercy chaplet most weekdays after Mass, as well as hourly novenas to both Saint Josemaria Escriva & Blessed John Paul II. We went to Sunday evening Mass together as a family, but she would not hold my hand during the Our Father, something we’ve always done.

    I’ve been speaking with Fr George at our Terrigal Parish, who loaned me a copy of Sister Briege’s book The Power of the Sacraments, pointing out to me page 41 on the Sacrament of Marriage, & the heart felt story of “Jim”. While I have no reason to believe there is a 3rd party involved, her circle of girl friends from her work as a teachers aid at a public primary school includes some ladies who themselves are divorced, so I would guess she’s not getting good counsel there. Further, her Mother whom she is very close to is also supporting her on her decision, much to my surprise, her Mother & Father, whom I get along with well, both being strong Catholics & daily Mass goers.

    Could you please add Stephanie and I and our family to your prayer intentions?

    Keep up your terrific work! Many thanks & kind regards,
    Bernie
    Sydney Australia

    • Bernie,

      Yes. I have experienced this situation almost exactly in my own family and it has been sad, challenging, a time of immense growth on the part of everyone, as the person involved made their own independent decisions about the future of the family. In any and every situation holiness and love is the answer, although in some cases it is much more painful to give than others. I will be praying for you and entrust your wife to the powerful concern of St. Joseph.

      Sr. Kathryn

      • Dear Sr. Kathryn, things have not improved. My wife moved out on the w/e, taking the 3 kids with her. It was probably the darkest w/e of my entire life. However I’m staying optimistic & hopeful, & praying with determination that it’s all just temporary. Please keep Stephanie & I & our family in your prayers. It is greatly appreciated. Take care…
        Bernie.

      • Bernie,

        I’m so sorry. I cannot imagine your sorrow and agony at this moment. I ask St. Joseph to help you through this. A dear friend of mine in a similar situation said to me, “I can’t make her change, she knows what is right. God can’t even make her change. All I can do is love them as best I can and act with integrity.” You cannot control your wife, but you can stay engaged in the what seems the best way at this time. St. Joseph can give you the strength and the comfort that he would know you need at this time. Know that in a very special way I am praying for you and for Stephanie.

        Sr. Kathryn

    • Oh Bernie, this breaks my heart. I wish I could speak with your wife but since I can’t I will pray that God speaks to her in a way that she cannot ignore. It is not healthy for married women to be “close” friends with divorced women because that old adage “Misery loves company” is so true. When a person has been married for some years and the going gets tough ( as it will from time to time) and they see their single friends with what appears to be a wonderful life of independence and freedom from stress, they become unhappy in their own circumstances. Too often people look around and life looks so much better on the other side of the street; when they should be watering their own grass so that their side of the street will look just as good if not better. 🙂
      When I counsel young married couples I remind them that marriage is not a commitment to their spouse, so much as a commitment to the very vows they took on their wedding day. This makes it a commitment to God.
      I divorced my own husband years ago due to being unable to handle his drug addiction but if i am being honest not a day goes by where I don’t wish that I had trusted God to handle things for me. Since our divorce he has gotten off drugs and remarried while I have not even dated because I am still very much in love with him.
      You, your wife, and your children are in my prayers.
      Dani MarieBernadette

      • Thank you Dani, that is greatly appreciated. I had a lovely w/e with my girls, Lucy & I went fishing this afternoon after digging up the veggie patch this morning. And I had my 17yo son Vincent stay during the week which was nice. We have a mediation session Tue 25th to determine the living arrangements of the children, so continued prayers still needed please. Regards, Bernie.

      • Be assured of my prayers. I have experienced this also in my family. It was a moment of great growth and spiritual depth for my brother and the rest of us who have supported him. God is walking with you through this.

        Sr. Kathryn

  558. Please pray for me to St.Joseph as I wait for the one person I dearly love, his name is Ronald. I love him very much and I ask God through St. Joseph for a chance to take care and grow old with him, to be his wife, partner and Eve to help him and support him. I ask and pray for that chance to serve God as I serve him as his wife and allow me to bring him closer to God. Please pray for me. Thank you very much and I thank St. Joseph.
    Thank you again.

  559. God Bless you and thank you Sister. The interviewers told me that I did well and I ought to know by Tuesday or so. Thank you again.

    St. Joseph, please continue to intercede on behalf of all who are seeking good, honest work. Please pray for us that we may bring glory to your son Jesus. Amen

  560. My family is at risk to lose our only home and we have no family to ask for help or to live with. Although we are Catholic and pray as a family together every night, I implore every visitor to this section of the website to ask and pray to St. Joseph for my family to keep our only home. I thank and bless each and every one of you who takes the time to read this post. Bless you!

    • Sasami,

      I join you in prayer to St. Joseph. That must be so scary…and you must tell him so. He knows what it is to not have a place to stay.

      Trust in him. Speak to him directly and to Mary.

      Sr. Kathryn

  561. Please help me pray for my ailing mother,
    Teresita Baculio Raganot.

    God willing I still want her to live.
    I offer to God my 20 years of unused life just for her to live healthily and joyfully.

    She is suffering from acute kidney failure
    and other complications, and excreting blood in her bowels. She is weaker each day.

    But nothing is impossible with GOD.
    I have fully entrust my faith in Him and offer all my prayers,
    my longings, my pains,
    my sins, my joys, my children, my whole life.

    all for God. all for His greater honor and glory.

    • Mayette,

      How much you must love your mother. Mary must understand you alot, for she was there when St. Joseph was dying. Ask her to teach you, to walk with you through this experience…for God’s greater honor and glory.

      Joining you in prayer,
      Sr. Kathryn

  562. Hi,
    We have fallen in love with a house 8 minutes further than our current house and put an offer in immediately and it was accepted based on the sale of our house. We have had our house listed for almost 90 days (in Canada) where it seems we have had numerous visits since (15 today) and no offers or any interest. All showings have indicated the house is beautiful but most common is that they have children and they are looking for something closer in the City. We really want this new house to go through so that we can offer our beautiful house to a family who can enjoy it’s size and all the work we have put into it.
    Last week we heard of St. Joseph and his powers and a kit that could be purchased. We immediately went to buy this kit (last Friday) and buried him that same night as indicated (beside for sale sign, facing house) and to proceed with a prayer. We immediately have our 15th showing the very next day and the gentleman once again indicated that he wanted something closer to the City (even though we are 6 minutes from the main city). We got another call last night that we have a showing booked for tonight. I will start to do the 9 day Novena and would like any prayers that our house sells immediately so that we can move into our new house by September. Our offer on our new house expires August 4th so any prayers would be very appreciated.
    Thank you in advance for our request.
    TL in Canada

      • Sr. Kathryn,
        I put trust in St Joseph and prayed to him daily and will continue to give him thanks. Since I last wrote, we had a showing that turned into a second showing and an offer at almost full price came to us last week provided financing and an inspection went well with the purchasers. Yesterday an appraiser came for the purchaser and was given and this morning, an inspection took place. We are hopeful that all conditions will be released by Monday. The best part is that we will be moving in 2 weeks once this is lifted. I thank you so much for adding prayer for us and bringing me to faith with St Joseph. Once every thing is finalized, I will be bringing the statue of Joseph to our new home to honour him and continue with my faith and prayer.

    • Hi, Johnson,

      Be assured of my prayers to St. Joseph that in all things you will be protected and provided for, and led to live with his virtues and his love for Jesus and Mary,

      Sr. Kathryn

  563. sisters, thank you so much for your prayer ministry. God Bless you and your efforts.

    St. Joseph, I thank you in advance for your intercessions. Please help me to do well in my second interview that I may use my skills and knowledge to bring greater glory to your Son Jesus. Amen

  564. Pleading my sister Florence case. With an infant & toddler and living in a shelter, pleae st Joseph interced for her that she my find adequte housing to move in to, in order to resume her life & give a better future to my nieces

    • Nathalie, you must be so afraid for your sister and nieces. Pray to their guardian angels to surround them their wings and care for them. I will pray to St. Joseph for them also.

      Sr. Kathryn

  565. I have been praying and asking people to pray for me. But until now I haven’t received an answer. I need a financial miracle because I have to pay the office and a check have already been issued. Due date is the 16th of July . I have been praying for more than 2 months and doing my best to work hard to earn but we can’t even cope up with our bills. Now it’s Friday and I only have 2 more days left to raise a huge amount. I’m so worn out with grief and don’t even know what to think of anymore. Please help me pray for a MIRACLE… Thank you.

    • Blessings,

      I am praying for you. In these times, and in your life, everything seems to be falling apart and impossible. St. Joseph will see you through whatever happens. I know it must be scary. I’m so sorry. I entrust you in every way to St. Joseph’s powerful protection.

      Sr. Kathryn

      • Thank you, Sr Kathryn. I really need someone to pray and agree with me for a miracle. So far, the 16th has passed and I have to wait tomorrow on their decision. I have felt St. Joseph’s intervention before with my problems and He has helped me a lot… I’m hoping He will do so again. If only I can personally speak with HIM (sigh!!!). Please pray that they won’t hold my salary because of this… since we also need it for our bills especially rent. For now, I can only offer my prayers for you and your work/mission sister. Hopefully when I get back on my feet again, I’ll be able to help in any way I can to propagate your work. Everyday I check for your reply since I posted my request. And now I feel blessed! Thank you and more power to you.

        Grace

  566. I have strayed in my faith of lately but am trying to get back on the right track. Please help my daughter and son-in-law sell their house. They are true disciplines and are raising their children to be the same. They have figured out what they need to do and need for the right family to come and buy their house an enjoy it as they have. Thank you for your prayers.

    • Peace.
      Know that I am praying for you in my novena to St. Joseph. Trust him to keep you and your daughter and son-in-law safe under his cloak of protection and with his staff of guidance in faith.

      Sr. Kathryn

    I ask you to care for each of these people who ask for your help as you cared for Mary and Jesus. You know how hard it is right now. Please come through with all they need to survive and go forward in relationships and homes and jobs. Amen.

  570. Dear Holy St. Joseph,
    Please be with my family during this difficult time and please help the particular marriage I am praying for. Please help to calm them down, go to marriage counselling, and work our their problems as a family. Please, St. Joseph, as you were Jesus’ foster father, please guide this wonderful man in understanding and providing for an loving his family with the help of his family. Please inspire us to be a Holy Family like your Holy Family is an example for us. I ask this through Jesus’ name, Amen. I love you so much, St. Joseph!

  571. St. Joseph, I know what a good husband you were, and how much you loved your family. I know that God designed people to be in famiies, and I pray that God will send my daughter a good husband. I know that He does not want her to be lonely, and that He will bless her. He has promised that He will bless and increase my family and I know He will. Thank you.

  572. My cat is sick (possibly dying)… the vet doesn’t know what’s wrong. I have been doing everything I can to help her, but I don’t know what to do next. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help her. Help me to help her. I am just at a loss. I believe in the power of prayer.. I really do. I am just not sure my prayers are being heard right now. I need a miracle. I love her with all my heart. I have lost SO many members of my family lately, I can’t lose her too.

  573. My mother requested that two homes she owned be divided between my brother and I-the process has been ongoing for approximately nine months. I have been very anxious that it be resolved as she wished, equitable and without any present or future conflict. I have been waiting for the attorney to act and have been faced with several delays. I ask St. Joseph to please intercede to bring this matter to a successful and speedly conclusion without any ramifications. Thank you. St. Joseph and the Holy Spirit guide me.

  574. God has Guided us this fare. We ask prayers that my husband and i can get a home loan and purchase this home that we have found that would be great to raise our family. As we need to move before August. We ask that a bank loans us the money to purchase this house. Thank you. I pray to you St. Joseph. Amen.

    • We are also praying to get a home loan to buy a house we are interested in ourselfs. I pray yours is granted as i hope ours is as well. God bless you.

  575. Dear St. Joseph,

    please help me get another waitressing job at a certain restaurant of my choice, and help me to get out of the job that i am currently in, not just for the money but more importantly,for my health.
    Love Liz

  576. Dear Sister,
    I’m looking for guidance. Is proper to pray for our mortgage to be refianced so we can keep our home? I feel guilty, as our problems our minor compaired to those around us. Most our friends are struggling with money. Yet one needs a new heart as his was damaged by a virus. He is an awesome man with an awesome family.

    Hopefull,
    Tami

  577. Dear Sister,
    Please pray for my discernment of God’s will for me. My faith wavers, I feel alone and afraid. I feel called to marriage, but cannot find a good man to join me in the sacrament. I know St. Joseph is the supreme example of a loving and devoted husband, and I seek his intercession in helping me to meet and recognize the man that God has chosen for me.
    With abundant gratitude,
    Patricia

  578. Sr Kathryn and Sr Sharon
    I lost my unemployment Sunday – I went to claim benefits and they said that Connecticut dropped out and so 18 more weeks is gone. I have felt scared and worried and sad as I am not sure how to have enough to eat and basic needs. But I still call on God, on St Joseph to find me a job, a way to live and to keep this house. The only way it can be done is through prayer and God’s mercy as I have money anywhere. But who better to trust with one’s life than God himself. Though I am unsure of my next step, I shall take a deep breath and ask St Joseph to walk with me. There is a reason for all He does and I must believe that He loves me. You have taught me so much and I do pray for you each night. Thank you for remembering me as your prayers help me more than you can ever know. July 1 is the deadline for the house to begin foreclosure but God is never late and He must have a plan. So I will continue to pray. Much love always, Julie

  579. I need plenty more belief, plenty more power of prayer and more Holy Ghost with me. Please pray also that God gives me gifts of God’s grade.

I pray for all my enemies that they find love in their hearts and I pray that I do not hold them in anger and hatred but forgive and love them. I am struggling, I have been struggling and I choose not to continue to struggle anymore, instead I am turning to the LORD with my whole being. I trust in him. I love you LORD thank you for all of my blessings. In Jesus’ name I continue to prayer and hope and love and have faith. Thank you for your prayers.

  583. Dear St. Joseph.
    Please help me to buy 730 Hart Drive. It has been a daunting task and a very challenging time for me. Please pray that this is the house that works out for me. Please guide Rudy as he gives the offer and please touch the heart of the executor of the house so that he will accept my offer and so Nick and I can move into this home and build a happy life together. Please help us in our relationship so that we can be married and blessed by GOD. Please help each of us as we are struggling. Please pray that this house works out for us.
    Thank you St. Joseph. In Jesus name I pray.
    Love Reyna

  584. St. Joseph, I know you hear the prayers of all your children, an especially those who leave their prayers on this blog. I too join in prayer for their needs for love, for a job, for homes, for selling business, and other needs that are in the depths of their hearts and remain unspoken. Hear our prayer. Let us pray each day this short prayer: St. Joseph, foster-father of Jesus Christ and trust Spouse of the Virgin Mary, pray for us.

    I am united with you all in my daily novena to St. Joseph.
    Sr. Kathryn

  585. Sisters, thank you so much for your loving prayers and your ministry over the internet. God Bless You and Keep you Always

    St. Joseph: It has been some time since I’ve asked for your help and for that I apologize to not have the courage or humility to seek your loving aid. I am sorry

    Things have become more desperate as I have not been able to find work. So many times over the years others have come to me for help and now i cannot seem to be able to help myself. I always could make a plan and execute it to the benefit of others and myself in the hard times. And now my plans all come to naught. I feel that anything I touch turns to ashes in my hands.

    Please out of your loving benevolence reveal to me what it is that God wants of me, for surely He would not wish me to be idle and to allow my talents and knowledge, which by His Grace, I have received to go to waste.

    All I wish for is that I may in some small humble way bring Glory to God through the abilities he has given me and to share my knowledge with others and to continue to learn and grow from those God has put in my life.

    Please find mercy in your heart to intercede on my behalf and on the behalf of others looking for honest work that will bring joy to your Son, Jesus to behold.

    Thank you. Amen

  586. Please help us to sell our business St Joseph, we have been trying to sell it now for 18 months. We just cant do it any more. Please help us.
    Thank you
    Sharon

Let them know that a lot of people love them deeply.
    I love my husband so much…so please make way for his desires and concerns as a provider for our blossoming family. Grant his requests for, as his wife, i know that he wouldn’t ask for anything bad..and that he always includes others in all his plans and prayers to You.

  588. Please let Tyler and I regain the romantic, intimate love we once felt for one another a year ago. Please let Tyler and I reconnect with one another and communicate with each other in a way that leads us back to falling into romantic love with each other. Please let us reconcile and begin dating each other exclusively again as soon as possible and help him to see that everything he is searching for is within me. I was blessed when the Lord brought him into my life and I pray that he will allow me to spend the rest of my life as his wife, his best friend, and as the person he builds a life with and raises a family with. I have foresaken all others and will continue to do so, please let him do the same as well. He is the only man I want to be with for the rest of my life.

  589. Please help us rent our house in Texas to good renters! Please help us find a home in Virginia! The military has moved us from Hawaii to Texas and now to Virginia….all in less than a year! Please pray for us! We have three children and they too will live in 3 states, and experience 3 schools in less than a year!

  590. Dear St. Joseph, I am terminally ill and approaching death. Please obtain all the graces needed for my happy death and also, provide financial stability to my household.

    • Xavier,

      We will all support you in prayer during your journey to eternity, where you will meet St. Joseph face to face and he will take you to God the Father, your Father. Let us pray for each other. Sr. Kathryn

  591. Thank you Lord for helping my anxiety and stress subside.

    Let D and me be together, as I believe he captures many of the qualities I want and need for my life. Please don’t let others tempt him or take him. I don’t want this to fail, I want to see this grow and succeed.

    On another note, please let me get that job in the Humanities at NVCC. I think it may be my only chance this year. Please initiate this change and make it successful. PLEASE touch the hearts of the hiring committee so they can see what a committed and willing first-year teacher I am. Please let this happen in your name.

    • St. Joseph, I turn to you who were a man of patience and faithfulness to help us all in these times of difficulty and sorrow. Help us be steadfast to the daily round till we are surprised by God’s mercy one day.

      Sr. Kathryn

  592. Hi

    Sometimes giving yourself a little prayer action plan can help. It can be small: reading from the Bible daily, praying certain prayers, getting a good spiritual book, CD, app. The Holy Spirit often speaks through the words of others we read or hear. If you have an iPhone: Beginning Contemplative Prayer App has 8 guided prayer guides audio on it. This might help jumpstart your prayer life. And then, yes, daily acceptance of what is, for God is always there in the now, for he IS. He can’t step in and change the course of events at times, for he respects his creature’s free will. But he is always here, he is greater than any event, he offers us hope and salvation.

    Sr. Kathryn

  593. Anne & Tanya: I am going through what both of you describe.Daily Acceptance and Complete Trust are nescessary. Saint Joseph
    had to trust God through many travels and life events that were difficult for him.

  594. Dear St. Joseph,
    Please pray that my soul awakens very soon and that my joy in Christ returns. Please pray that my sluggishness in prayer disappears and that my focus is turned completely towards God. Please help me to abandon myself completely to God.

    Thank you,

    Tanya

  595. St. Joseph, we trust in you to take care of us in all the unexpected struggles of life, that we may discover God’s care for us as you did. Life can be hard sometimes, as you know. Help us to have faith and confidence and to discover in our lives the mercy of God.

    Sr. Kathryn

  596. Please pray for me to get a job.I have been through college and university and still can’t secure a job.I trust that through the intervention of st.joseph all shall be well.Also pray for me to get a husband i really want to have a family of my own.

  597. Dear Everyone,

    I wanted to share a thought: St. Joseph is very powerful before God and he has special influence with the Blessed Mother and Jesus. And we can ask him for an increase of faith, hope, and love whenever we have difficulties. Prayer to the Blessed Mother and St. Joseph will obtain for us the grace of confidence in God and help us to be patient in our sufferings.

    I am going to be saying the rosary in about 10 minutes and I’ll be praying for you all to ask St. Joseph and Our Lady to increase your faith in the goodness of God who can bring something good and beautiful out of even the most difficult and sad situations.

    Sr. Sharon

  598. Sister Kathryn. I am most grateful for your prayers. I know you are unable to respond individually. Humbly I ask for prayers as I struggle day and nite with worries-fears-anxieties: that all family interactions will continue to go peacefully, with no conflicts; that all matters related to transfer of parent’s property will go without disagreement and it will be in the best possible time and for the best end; that all will resolve in regard to sale of handicapped van, transfer of vehicle; for financial decisions and challenges; that I will make good choices regarding preplanning my funeral arrangements; for all family and friends.

    • Jim,

      To hope that things will go perfectly with no conflicts is something not even a saint could make happen. Conflicts are a part of life. As long as you are doing the best you can with integrity and charity that is the best that you can hope for, and even that is a miracle in itself! I will pray for you,

      Sr. Kathryn

  599. Please pray for my family. My husband and I have a 9 month old daughter. We both work full time and I work from home for now. I feel like my daughter would benefit more from having my full attention. I want to quit my job to raise her full time but my husband does not want that. I feel like my family would be better off if I quit my job. If we sacrificed a little we could afford it, my husband makes good money. I’ve been praying for a miracle since before she was born that there would be some way I could quit my job and he would want the same. My job does not make me happy. Sometimes is makes me miserable and that is not good for my daughter. Please pray for us that something changes in my husbands view of what is best for all of us so that I can be happy also. Thank you so much for your prayers.

    • St. Joseph,

      You were husband, father, spouse, friend, protector, and guide. Hear the prayers of these your dear people who turn to you for help in their need. Reach out to them and to those with whom they walk through life. Put them at peace. Raise up, reach out, heal, transform, renew hearts and relationships. We trust in you. Amen.

  600. SISTER KATHRYN I THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS FOR ME AND DAVID AND OUR MARRIAGE. GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY ALL YOUR PRAYERS BE HEARD – IN JESUS’S MIGHTY NAME I PRAYER AMEN . ST. JOSEPH I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU – PLEASE SAVE OUR MARRIAGE AMEN

  602. Sister Kathryn
    Please be assured you are always in my prayers. I thank you for all you have done and continue to do. My dear friend you have brought me closer to God. He loves you much. Julie

  603. St. Joseph,

    you know that as I read these prayer intentions I am no longer able to answer each of them individually. I feel in my heart their anguish and desire, their fears and their hopes and their dreams and their sorrows. How much more must you feel these in your heart, you who are true father. For each of them I offer prayer. I offer myself as a channel of God’s grace in to their lives that they may each find the mystery and the miracle of God’s way with them, new purpose, complete peace, refuge and safety. Amen.

    I remember you all in my daily novena to St. Joseph.

    Sr. Kathryn

    I post daily at St. Joseph’s Facebook:

  604. I got this email this morning. Please pray for this mom and her daughter.
    Hi Dani don’t know if U remember me or not but awhile back U had asked 4 prayers 4 Ur daughter and her family and now I must ask 4 Ur help with Prayers 4 my daughter who is 19 almost 20 and she is in a very abusive relationship. I can’t seem 2 get through 2 her that her relationship is not a healthy 1 and that she needs 2 get out of it. He beats her something terrible and she is all bruised up but she will not leave the realationship. Last week I tried 2 get her 2 come home after he had spent the night beating on her and even his mom and dad wanted her to leave their home and come home with me. She came home with me and was furious with me and that same nite she went right back 2 him and has been with him since. She stopped by yesterday and was wearing shorts and her legs were all black and blue from the kicking and hitting that he has done to her not 2 mention what the rest of her body looks like. She gave up going 2 school and was suppose 2 graduate on next Tuesday. He won’t let her go 2 school. This is the 3rd abusive relationship that she has been in. She was not raised in a violent home and her father and I never hit on her so we are really having a hard time trying to understand why she is allowing this 2 continue on in her life. We love her so much but we are at wits end at seeing her allowing this 2 keep on happening. She is a beautiful young woman and has so much potential but we are so afraid that she will not ever get 2 achieve anything because of the poor choices that she is making with her relationships. So please Dani if U could remember her in prayer I would be most grateful. Could U also put this out on the prayer line? Thank-U so much. Your Sister In Christ , Irene

I hope I find another house like the one I lost out on again soon. I’m suffering from bidders remorse. I need to have more faith in God’s plan for me and help in making wise decisions.

  607. I will be getting together with my former fiancé on June 2 after 3 years of not seeing each other. I have loved and prayed for him every day since we broke up. God recently made us cross paths quite miraculously. Please pray that God who makes all things new will make something new between us, if it be His perfect Will. Please pray that we are clear, unequivocally clear, as to God’s Will when we meet. Amen! Thank you and may God reward you!

  608. Please pray for me to find a husband. I am a 27 year old single woman who very badly wants a good kind husband and to have babies to raise Catholic. I am always single and have never realy had a boyfriend. I feel very alone and sad most of the time. Thank you and God Bless you all.

Thanl you St. Joseph as you know I am tired and this house is more than I can afford or take care of. Plese give us a quick sale and guide us into a more affordable house in a safe neighborhood in the safe school district.

  610. Prayer needed for Keith. He is not very healthy and his wife travels all the time because she drives a tour bus. They are not young either. She told him she does not love him and is requesting all long trips so she does not have to deal with him. He is in a major depression. Please pray for him and his wife Julie.
    Thank You

    • Dani,

      Such sorrow in these relationships where the love seems to have died out. Usually it is being smothered by something else and everyone suffers. Let us pray to St. Joseph who kept his love alive. Sr. Kathryn

  611. Please pray with me to GOD and St. Joseph, the Foster Father of our Beloved Jesus, for the blessing of success in all finances that I need and the work that I do. Thank you God & St. Joseph!

  612. Sister please pray that St Joseph and Jesus work our family I need urgently to be released from all the bondages that we are experiencing.

For sale of our flat and the apartments to be regularised urgently please and a financial wind fall to over come all the problems we are faced with. St Joseph and Jesus please work in our life.

    • These times are difficult, as I can see from your note. Take it day by day, moment by moment, step by step with the trust Joseph had in God. You’ll be okay.

      Sr. Kathryn

  613. Sister, please help me pray that Kiko will come back in my life. Please ask Him for restoration of our relationship and I promise to make Him the center of our relationship this time. Please help me pray that Kiko will learn to forgive, to love, and to be free of pride. Thank you, sister. Amen.

  614. Sister Kathryn and Sister Sharon
    I am still praying amidst deadlines and family disharmony but last night my prayer changed to “whatever you, God, want to do with this house situation and my family, whatever is Your Will, that is what I want. ” Perhaps St Joseph led me to change this prayer from my will to God’s will….much love always, Julie

  615. Thank you very much , now my husband stopped drinking,Praise the Lord.I need your prayer for my husband suresh martin raj’s company surtech survey intl ltd. has no projects in hand and all jobs are washed out by satan ‘s. pls pray for our company to come over this critical situation, otherwise nearly 70 peoples are jobless.i hope GOD sure solve this problem and make us happy.

  616. St. Joseph – I come to you once again, struggling. I am facing what
    I believe are the final transactions of the real estate portion for my mother. I am filled with worry and fear about the transactions (deed, easements) that they will all be successful and without conflict both now and after it is completed. Please stand by me and my family as we negotiate this process so that there will be no problems and no confrontations, that all will be equal now and in future. I know you are strong and will intercede to your foster Son, Jesus, on our behalf to help me carry out my mother’s wishes. Please keep all negative forces away and reassure me that this is the best answer. Thank you.

  617. Dear St. Joseph, I really need your help and guidance in solving the problem i am having with the person i love. Problems are coming up and i have no clue about their origin. Please, pray for me to settle them down and continue with the relationship smoothly.

    Peace,
    Prabha

  618. Dear Sister Kathryn,

    Thank you for your dedication and service. This is a lovely place to honor and better understand St. Joseph. I have a question and also a prayer request. When we listed our house for sale we did bury a St. Joseph figure and said the novena as suggested, and also frequently lit a St. Joseph candle with prayer. Our house did sell and we are very grateful. When we went to dig up the figure to take with us we found his head was missing. We are trying to find our next real estate project and have been having many relationship and financial difficulties. We are very worried that this figure is a bad sign and need help understanding how to best proceed–re-bury him in our new temporary place? Place him as he is in our home? We are struggling to find the right course to take. Any insight you have to offer is greatly appreciated.

    As a woman and a mother I have come to think of St. Joseph as my personal guardian–my father left when I was 13 and I have really had no relationship with him since. St. Joseph represents everything I have been trying to find in my adult life–home, partnership, meaningful work. I wish I had known about and understood his power many years ago. I ask you to pray for me to find my secure home, my true partner on earth and a job so I may meet my obligations and help my children.

    • Belinda,

      First of all, don’t worry about the statue. It’s kind of superstitious to think that a statue can affect your life in that way. St. Joseph in person is near you, just as you said, as your personal guardian. I would talk to St. Joseph heart to heart and ask him to help you see what God desires of you at this point with the difficulties you mention. What Joseph teaches us that things don’t always go our way, but God is always with us wherever we are.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  619. My family has had a very difficult year. We are trying deserately to sell our house. I have severe allergies to a paint that was used in the house and I am 7 months pregnant with our second child. Right now we are living with my parents – not the best situation. My dad is dying of a brain tumor on top of all of this. My husband and I have both been really sick, probably from all the stress. Please pray for us that we may sell our house very soon. Also please pray for my dad. Thank you!!!

    • Blessings,

      My dear one! I can hear all your worry and fear. I think of Mary when she found out St. Joseph was nearing his death. Please entrust yourself to Mary and Joseph to carry you through whatever will be. I will be praying that your husband will get well.

      Sr. Kathryn

  625. Please keep Sonya in prayer as she goes through this excruciating chemotherapy and tries to keep her spirits up with a diagnosis of less than a year to live,she is only 31 and has two young sons. Her internet is not working for some reason so I know she is feeling all alo0ne. Please ask Saint Joseph and Mary to fill her, her home and her family with the kind of peace and love that surpasses all fear.
    Thank you and I love you all and am praying for you.

  626. Sr Sharon and Sr Kathryn
    This is my darkest hour and so I reach out to God and to you. I got papers from the lawyers today representing the bank about foreclosing on the house – I have to respond in 30-60 days or have the monies or else…part of me is sad and numb and part of me says there is still hope, as impossible as it may seem in the natural world…so thank you for praying with me once again. Julie

    • Julie,

      I’m sad with you. This is a terrible thing to have to deal with. I wish I could change the situation. I can stay with you, as St. Joseph is, my eyes out to see where God is moving and bringing about new birth. Know that you are in my prayers to St. Joseph daily. I will tell Sr. Sharon also.

      Sr. Kathryn

  627. The stress we are enduring is killing our spirits and marriage. We are begging for some positive relief with our house situation. We have done everything to help ourselves and done through this situation and done all the suggestions everyone has made. I have even fallen to me knees. Please pray for us and help us with the relief we are so needing.

    • Peace.

      I don’t know what to say. I can feel your agony in my heart, and you need for security, assurance, rest, a home. St. Joseph somehow is with you, I know, but he will help you see maybe something new regarding how God is leading you to safety. I will remember you in my St. Joseph novena. Know that I carry you with much love in my heart.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  628. Please pray for my husband who has been out of work for 3 years. He is becoming very depressed. Please help him find work so he can support his family.

    Thank you,

    • Blessings,

      These times of darkness and struggle and seeming hopeless options can easily lead us to depression. You are in my prayers. St. Joseph probably felt depressed in the seeming dead ends of his life. He discovered, as eventually we all do, that God always has our back. He is reliable. With this faith we can play with more options. Know you are in my prayer.

      Sr. Kathryn

  629. Today is the feast day of St. Joseph the Worker. I want to thank him for prayers answered and for just being there. I want to thank you for this site and hope all prayers are answered. Love M.

  630. I thought about this all night and I agree we must focus on what we have and what God is currently helping us with. We have a wonderful healthy family that is thriving. This last piece right now is this box we call home. Hoping and praying we find out that we have been approved for this home on this wonderful feast day! Thank you for opening my eyes and heart, Sister. With Love

  631. This is a wonderful site for us to all ask and receive prayers for many different reasons, but I am posting here to ask that I PLEASE be removed from this list. I am receiving way too many emails and my requests have not been met in modifying the amount I receive. REMOVE ME NOW! I will continue to pray for answers to all the prayers asked on this site, but don’t want any more emails.

    • Hi

      I wasn’t aware anyone was receiving emails since I don’t send any. Could you let me know more information and I’ll try to figure out how to accommodate you.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  632. Thank you thank you. I have enough for a few
    Days now. I know he must be working on the
    Mortgage. I will wait for him. I just got tired
    And frightened. You are always in my prayers
    And rosary. Much love always.

  633. St Joseph, I must be do something wrong for us to be going through this. Please intercede and get us the positive answer we need. Please help us…I beg you.

  634. Dear Sisters: It seems that one door is closing after another. While continuing to struggle with grief over my mother’s death, I am also attempting to divide her finances and property. I am fearful of controversy and beg St. Joseph to intercede for the successful transfers of property and finances and for peaceful interactions within family. Another issue came to the surface last week regarding and I am torn – if I make one decision it may create problems within family, if I make another decision it will cause me anxiety and hurt feelings. Again, I beg St. Joseph to intercede and help me to carry out my mother’s wishes without controversy within the family. I worry day and nite and am consumed by anxiety. Please pray for my sibling/family and for myself. Thank you.

    • Dear Jim. Tomorrow is the feast of St. Joseph the worker. I will pray for your intentions in a special way offering my sufferings for your peace of mind and trust in God no matter how difficult it is for you at this time.Throw all you cares on St. Joseph and his intercession. Ask him for wisdom and trust. I have no ready answers for you but I will pray to the heavenly Father who cares for you in love in all that happens in your life. I carry you and your needs in my heart and offer them to God at Mass tomorrow and in my daily rosary to the honor and glory of Jesus Mary and Joseph. God bless you Jim! Rely totally on God and just do what you can do and leave the rest to God’s providence moment by moment. Peace, of Jesus Christ our Savior be with you and your family.
      Love and prayers, Sr. Sharon Anne Legere, and Sr. Kathryn

  635. Sister Kathryn and Sister Sharon,
    Sorry to repeat myself but I ask you to please join me in prayer to St. Joseph as to having the funds to save our family home from foreclosure. I literally have provisions for just today and I know I must continue to trust God to provide. I guess I just felt I needed to turn to my friends and ask for their prayers (which I know you do already). Going to church to visit St Joseph now. Thank you for all you do . Julie

    • Dear Julie, we continue to offer our prayers and sufferings to our Good and loving Heavenly Father and St. Joseph especially tomorrow which is his feast day. You are always in my heart and I can speak for Sr. Kathyrn that our prayers are continuous. Feel us near you as little Simeon of Cyrenes with Jesus carrying your cross. God bless you. With great love, Sr. Sharon Anne Legere and Sr. Kathryn.

  636. St Joseph we are experiencing such a difficult time, a stressful time. Please help us with the positive answers we are looking for to this current problem we are experiencing. Please help us. We need you more than ever!

    • Sr Kathyrn and I are praying for you and carry you in our hearts as we ask St. Joseph to intercede for you mightyly. Love and prayers, Sr. Sharon Anne Legere and Sr. Kathyrn God bless. Tomorrow is Joseph’s feast day.

    • Peace.

      I am praying for you. I beg St. Joseph to help you see where God is active already in your life. I know that he is, because he is love. Sometimes we look for him in one place and he is at work in another better place for us. Let us pray together.

      Sr. Kathryn

  637. My son Jonathan is going for a job interview today. Please ask St Joseph the patron saint of all workers to intercede for him, that he may have a successful interview and that he may soon have a permanent job Thank you

    • our prayers and sufferings and intercession to St. Joseph are with you. Honor dear St. Joseph tomorrow on his feast and thank him ahead of time for his compassion and intercession. We carry you in our hearts. Love and prayers, Sr. Sharon Anne Legere and Sr. Kathryn

  638. Dear Sister,

    please pray to St. Joseph to obtan for me the grace to be healed ompletely and permanently of ulcerative colitis (chronic stomach disorder) and restored back to health and to obtain for me the grace never to experience a relapse or flare-up of ulcerative colitis again. I am suffering for the past five years.

    Mr. Xavier

    • Mr. Xavier,

      I will pray with you and for you. I have learned sometimes, through my own illnesses, that God often has greater graces prepared for us than health. They are mysteries only he can reveal to you. St. Joseph can be your guide to open yourself in trust to Divine Providence as he did,

      Sr. Kathryn

  639. St Joseph, I am having a really difficult time with the person I love. Please, kindly intervene into my problem and make us together by solving the problems we are having.

    (I’m not a Christian. But i heard through my friend who is a Christian that St.Joseph helps in this matters. Though, I’m a non-Christian I respect Christianity and read about it since my childhood. But, i do not know much about how to do prayers other than thinking of st. Joseph and mentioning about my request. I have felt it’s working. I have felt his assistance. But i need it further until my problem gets solved.)

    So, st. Joseph please pray for me and make my wish come true.

    Best!

    • Peace.

      St. Joseph doesn’t need any big fancy prayers. He wants to guide and help you as he did Jesus when he was a child. You can reflect on St. Joseph’s life, the events are in the Gospel of Matthew, and you can imagine what he must have felt and how he must have grown in faith in the loving Father of Jesus and his tender care. St. Joseph knew everything in life that we did, just a different century. What he teaches you, perhaps in this situation, for he almost lost Mary his love over her being with child by the Holy Spirit, that in these situations God is calling us to become more truly who we are, to stand taller, to find deeper reservoirs of spirit within us, to discover that God will take care of us if we are tuned in to the way God communicates to our hearts.

      I shall pray with you,
      Sr. Kathryn

      • Dear Sr.Kathryn,
        Thank you very much for your guidance and reply. I’m grateful to you for praying with me in this situation.

        peace.
        Prabha

  640. Dear Sister,

    Pray for me to St Joseph because I feel my faith is been put to the test. Big and strong waves are coming to me back to back. I don’t think I can handle them any longer.

    I’m a young adult who lives in New York City. 3 weeks ago, my dear brother got deported after 2 years of detention, a week after, a woman dropped dead in the sacrity, she was like a mother to me since I haven’t seen my own mother for 14 years, 3 days after, I lost my job for no specific reason, now I have strong pain on my knees… I wonder what the next wave is going to be. I’m very scared to lose my apartment. I have been looking for a job, but no results so far.

    In the middle of these torments, I met a really nice guy that I love so much, I don’t know if he feels the same way. I hope St Joseph touches his heart so one day we get married and start a family. I know my Mother will be so happy! Thanks sister.

    Best Gisele,

    • Gisele,

      These are certainly frightening and very sad events. I can sense St. Joseph wanting to shelter and protect you as he did Jesus and Mary. Tell St. Joseph how frightened and sad you are. Ask him to inspire you with what to do next. I will pray with you.

      Sr. Kathryn

  641. I want to send up a prayer of great thanksgiving to God, St. Mary, St. Joseph, and all the angels and saints for Fr. Steve’s miraculous recovery! He’s back home already, healing nicely and gaining his strength back. Thanks to all of you, and especially to Sr. Kathryn and Sr. Sharon for keeping Fr. Steve in your prayers. Praise God and Hallelujah!!!!!!!!

  642. Dear St. Joseph,
    I am sending you a quick note to please pray today for a little girl named Rose H. Rose is six years old. As I write this, she is undergoing surgery to remove a tumor on her brain. It was just discovered two days ago. Her surgery is right now– Friday, April 27, and it should last most of the day. Please pray for Rose, for her family, and for the doctors. Ask everyone you meet today to please pray for her too. Please shower heaven with prayer.

    • Peace. I pray that the surgery went well. I daily pray a novena to St. Joseph for all of you so I know he was there, leading her in the mysterious ways of God for her life.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  643. I find myself here again St Joseph begging for your help. We are still seeking a much needed answer. We are not sure how much longer we can endure the wait…Please St Joseph help us we need a good answers to our requests. Help us….

  644. St. Joseph, as the time is growing short before our first baby is due, please help us to either find the home that is right for us, or the calm certainty that we need to stay in our small apartment for the time being. Please pray that we can get a clear answer quickly, so that we can turn our focus to preparing for the baby. Please help my husband to see the stress this situation is placing on me, and help him to know how to be the protector and provider for me and our unborn child. Please help my husband to open his mind to starting to prepare things for our little one who is due in a little over two months, and to be open to becoming financially responsible for the baby since I will not be able to continue to do so once I have to go on maternity leave…I am so fearful of depleting all my meager savings. Please pray that my husband will lose his resentment of the fact that his leisurely life is changing, and pray that he will love me with kindness.

  645. St Joseph we need your help with a speedy answer to this problem we have been facing. We have grown weak by the fear…Our nerves are filled with fear…I give you this problem to you and the Lord. Please send the answer soon as we are in need of relief.

    • The Lord has safe and strong hands by which he can hold your problems and take care of you. Open your eyes and ask for the grace from Joseph to see where God is already acting in your life. I will pray for you.

      Sr. Kathryn

  646. St Joseph please once again send us our relief today. Having the stability of knowing where we will be living in the days to come is so important to us. Please send that answer to us today. Thank you for your help and love. With love

  647. Please pray Jessica stops drinking access alcohol. Please heal her anxiety and panic attacks. Please fill her with confident, peace and love of god.

    • We join you in prayer for Jessica. What a worry! May St. Joseph help you find a way to help her and show her how much you love her.

      I will pray for you that you will be the love of St. Joseph for her.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  648. Dear Sister: I know I have written multiple times, but I continue to struggle with grief, fear, worry over many issues/concerns. I beg St. Joseph to intercede as a Father and I ask for prayer that my sibling/family and I may be able to retain a positive relationship-no arguements; that my parent’s insurance-financial-property issues may resolve successfully and peacefully; that I may be able to retain my parent’s vehicle and not risk having to give it to another family member-I am in process of selling handicapped vehicle I purchased to assist my parent and use their vehicle, but a family member wants it also – I don’t want there to be any conflict regarding this. Please pray for my dear mother who passed; for those who are alone, ill, dying. Thank you Sister. May God bless you.

  649. Please pray for me n family n my job people envy me n say falls things about me to get in trouble so that my boss (Marybeth) willnt listen to them cause it is not true please pray for me, thank you Olivia perez

  651. St Joseph please send us our relief today. Having the stability of knowing where we will be living in the days to come is so important to us. Please send that answer to us today. Thank you for your relief. With love

  652. St. Joseph , I come to you as your humble son asking for your intercession to your Divine Son, Jesus. I am struggling, fearful, worried about many things and beseech you for your fatherly intercession on my behalf. Please pray that my mother is in Heaven and given greater honor; that I may find a means to cope with her loss; that my relationship with my sibling/family may be peaceful and all interactions positive, without disagreement; that all matters concerning my mothers insurance, finances, property and vehicle (this is a major dilemma which could impact family relationships) will resolve well and peacefully; for all who are ill and dying this day. Thank you. I promise my faithfulness to you.

      • Peace.

        St. Joseph is a practical man. I think that he is guiding you in this practical approach to the situation. He doesn’t usually drop in like a lightning bolt with a solution, but enables us to gradually move toward horizons of hope and grace.

        You are in my prayers.
        Sr. Kathryn

    -Isabel

    • My dear Isabel,

      Develop a deep devotion to Mary and Joseph. Reflect on the lessons they teach you about love through their own lives and in the Gospels. Ask them to send you help when you need help to live their way of trust and selfless giving. I will pray for you.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  657. Dear St. Joseph, please pray for me and help me. I feel pulled in too many directions and am starting to feel rather overwhelmed again. My prayer life is very sporadic and not consistent. Help us in our house hunting endeavors for my sister and niece. Please obtain for me also the energy and focus to get the renovations on our home finished and where we need help, please send us honest, skilled people to help us. Most of all, please help me to open my heart to the peace Our Lord wishes to give us. Thank you, Dear St. Joseph, and also dear Sr. Kathryn! 🙂

  658. Hell All: Lets all say a Novena from April 23rd to May1st, The Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker. EWTN.Com has numerous Novenas. We must pray for others if we want ours answered.

  659. Holy family of Nazareth, pray for my dear friend
    Dani-mariebernadette who is in hospital. Restore Dani
    to health so that she may come home to her family.
    Send Dani, all she needs from the heavenly father to whom he
    sends by the holy spirit. Amen.

    Dear Sr Kathryn, please pray for Dani.

  660. I know that I have asked for prayers many times. Today I feel very worried and afraid – it appears everything seems to be closing in around me. I continue my struggle with grief, my anxiety over successful outcome to all financial (new issues on horizon) and property concerns on behalf of my mother; for an improved relationship with sibling (situation is somewhat better, but I worry it may change at any moment); for no controversy or disagreements. In addition, work is becoming very stressful and very negative. I have also tried to help others and it feels like my efforts may be turning against me. I plead with St. Joseph to please come to my urgent aid and offer miracles in these areas. I also remember those who have no one to pray for them. Thank you.

  661. Please pray for us, that we get this identity theft mess settled …I want to thank St. Joseph and you Sister Kathryn for prayers and answers.
    Im so glad you have this site. Thank You…May God Bless You!

  662. I AM STILL IN NEED OF YOUR PRAYERS.
    Again I humbly request you to kindly pray for my husband that GOD may deliver him from the Devil’s bondage (affair with another woman) after 16 years of our marriage life. He has never loved me but given only pain & sorrow throughout these years. I have one kid. I have hide my identity. He has forsaken ( do not touch ) me as wife living under one roof since one year. Kindly pray that GOD may open his blind eyes & show the reality of life & change his heart & fill with plenty of love & affection for me as a wife. Always I pray to GOD with tears. GOD is so kind & loving. GOD will definitely answer our prayers.

    • Peace.

      St. Joseph wants nothing more than to care for you and bring you closer to Jesus who is the goodness of God in our lives. In anything you do, ask yourself how St. Joseph would have done it.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  663. PLEASE SEND THIS URGENT REQUEST TO ST.JOSEPH FOR URGENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.

    SHOULD THE MIRACULOUS PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH BE RECITED ONCE A DAY?

    THANK YOU.

    PETER.

    • Peter,

      We will be praying with you in your hour of need that you will be open to how the providential care of the Father is looking after you in every way, a lesson St. Joseph learned and taught others.

      In the end, Peter, it isn’t about saying a prayer exactly the right way to get a miracle, It’s about growing in trust and faith by turning to God and the saints in our hour of need, a trust that leads to a transformation of the rest of our life. We will pray that St. Joseph powerfully looks after you in this situation. Trust him.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  664. Dear Sr. Kathryn and everyone,
    Please send up special prayers to St. Joseph for one of my priests, Fr. Steve. He’s only 44 years old and is in the hospital with a terrible, terrible infection and is in ICU. He had emergency surgery yesterday. Please pray for Fr. Steve’s full recovery and quick healing. He is such a good and holy disciple of Christ. He has touched countless lives and we all love him so much. He confirmed me into the Catholic Church 5 years ago when I converted, then he traveled out of town to baptize my baby girl on the same day she was born because we didn’t know if she would live. That’s just 2 examples of what Fr. Steve has done. We need him so much and we all want to get the chance to tell him thank you for all that he’s done for us, and all that he’s done to bring us closer to God. Thank you.
    Tanya

      • I want to send up a prayer of great thanksgiving to God, St. Mary, St. Joseph, and all the angels and saints for Fr. Steve’s miraculous recovery! He’s back home already, healing nicely and gaining his strength back. Thanks to all of you, and especially to Sr. Kathryn and Sr. Sharon for keeping Fr. Steve in your prayers. Praise God and Hallelujah!!!!!!!!

  667. St. Joseph, please please pray for my family and I so we can buy a house in our country, Ecuador. We have always wanted this, and If God allows us to buy a house im sure our family will come together again. Thank you so much. ❤ I have faith in you St. Joseph and God.

  668. Sr Kathryn and Sr Sharon,
    I come humbly and ask for your prayers this weekend. The mortgage is due and I am again late as I have not found a job. The bank threatens foreclosure . My sister did help a few months ago and I thank God for that. I know that St Joseph had to take care of his home and loved ones and I so want to do the same. I keep saying my rosary each day to St Joseph and his statue is in the window. I guess I am just having a bad day and get a little overwhelmed with all the bills. I know that God has a plan and need His reassurance. I do not have a brother or husband or father and so I tell Him that I need His guidance. I need Him. I do remember you both and the other sisters and website when I pray each night. I wait for His direction. Bless you for all you do and my hopes that you are both well. Always, Julie

    • Julie,

      I will be keeping you in prayer and tugging at St. Joseph’s cloak to get his attention for you. I am sorry that things are so hard. Let us pray that you will see where God is working things out for you.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

      • Thank you Sister Kathryn….your words are so reassuring. I know that St Joseph will work something out according to God’s will. I do love him so. Have a great blessed week. Julie

  669. +
    St. Joseph’s, Please pray for my marriage, I dont know how it happened, but I’m married to a girl whose character, family background, upbringing, aptitude, intelligence, religious beliefs, etc do not match mine. i get frustrated most of the time but hold on to the marriage because of our 2yr old child. If my wife does not change, I doubt if I may make any meaningful progress in life. Oh St. Joseph, I’m only 28 and she is 22, and we may end up spending the rest of our lives together. Please assist us through your intervention to your divine son Jesus, so that our marriage could work out. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord and Saviour. Amen +

    • Peace.

      I can hear the anguish in your prayer, as well as your love by which you are looking out for your child. I pray that St. Joseph sends you someone to talk to and sort things out with. Even in the confusion of this marriage God is using you as a channel of his merciful love. Like St. Joseph keep looking to him for your cues. I will pray with you to St. Joseph for a miracle in your relationship with your wife.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  670. I was jobless for sometime (>2yrs) after graduation, and sort the intervention of St. Joseph. Finally I received a miracle and got a job in an organization where other colleagues with similar qualifications like mine are not employable. however, the procedures followed before I can get confirmed at this place are quite frustrating and I pray that St. Joseph’s intervenes for me and my colleagues who are not employable in such an organization to get employed. the condition put across by the regulator in this field is too harsh and I believe it can be amended

  671. ST JOSEPH MAKE MY HUSBAND TO EAGERLY WANT TO GO TO A MARRIAGE COUNSELOR THIS MONTH AND BE CURED & HEALED COMPLETELY. LORD U SPEAK TO US THROUGH THIS COUNSELOR WE HAVE FOUND. I AM GOIND FOR THE FIRST TIME TO MEET HIM ON MONDAY PLEASE PRAY FOR ME – POST THAT MY HUSBAND WILL GO – PRAYING THAT HE WOULD WANT TO GO TO BE HEALED COMPLETELY. ST. JOSPEH THANK YOU FOR MAKING US FIND THE MARRIAGE COUNSELOR RESTORE OUR HOME AND REUNITE US BACK TO EACH OTHER FOREVER – I PRAY IN JESUS’S NAME AMEN AMEN

  672. Dear Sr. Kathryn,
    Please pray for my sister and my niece. They need a place to live, to call their own. This would involve a big move for them and for us it will involve taking a financial leap of faith. Dear St. Joseph, please help us and guide us all – is this the right thing to do? Will God bless our endeavours? If so, please God, through the intercession of dear St. Joseph, let it all fall divinely into place. Father, in all things, Your will be done. Thank you!

    • Peace.

      I join you in prayer to St. Joseph who himself had to do alot of calculating when it came to where to live…whether in Nazareth, Bethlehem or Egypt. Let us trust his providential care for you.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

JOSEPH PLEASE – IN JESUS NAME AMEN AMEN

  674. Please pray for my husband and I to find a house in a good area, which we can afford. We have been looking for many months with no success, and our first child is due in three months. My anxiety level has been increasing each week that passes with no good prospects. Because we have been so focused on finding a house in which to live (our apartment will be too small for a family of 3), we have not yet had time to start getting things for our new baby, and I worry that we will end up running out of time on both counts. Please pray that St. Joseph will intercede for us and that the Holy Spirit will show us the house that is right for us, at God’s perfect timing, and that my husband will be open to whatever it may be, wherever it may be. Please pray that we will have enough time to get what we need for our little one, as well. We want the best for our expected baby, without undue stress in this last trimester. Thank you very much for your kindness.

    • Katherine,

      Wow! This is a big job for St. Joseph which he should completely understand because he was running off to Bethlehem right before Jesus was to be born. Let us pray together. I will remember you in my daily novena and entrust your needs to Sr. Sharon who prays a rosary to St. Joseph daily.

      In Christ,
      Sr. Kathryn

  675. Please pray for my convert and healing of my soul. Let Jesus helps me to do a good confession, and save me from hell. May Jesus treat me from my illness. Also please that God be with my brother in his ill.

    Thanks for such a nice Easter ! If it is your will, let us b together:)

    • Brooke.

      St. Joseph would understand your heart for he himself saw the beauty and goodness that filled the life and heart of Mary. Ask him to guide you in this regard and he will. I will pray for you.

  685. Please pray that I get the English instructor job. My husband and I are ready to begin our lives with real jobs, and grad school is no longer good for me.

  686. my husband hz cm home sister today but i wil meet him only in the evening whn i go home frm work. please pray fr me i beg, tht he makes peace & our marriage is restored this time forever. Feel very troubled and uneasy at this time.God bless you.

    • Dear Friend,

      I do not have time to respond directly to your prayer request, but I want you to know that Sr. Sharon and I pray daily to St. Joseph for everyone who leaves their prayer intentions here. I encourage you to turn to him and ask him to direct you to prudently deal with the situation you are in, to have the wisdom to hear God’s voice directing you, to have the courage to follow God wherever he may lead you…. These are all the things that Joseph teaches us by his life. He is leading you. The challenge is to have the ears to hear and the eyes to see. These next few days are very holy and we will be in prayer for all of them. Know that you are remembered in our prayers as we walk through the way of the cross and resurrection with the risen Jesus.

      I know that you love your marriage deeply. But your husband may have changed from the man you married. You might find it helpful to talk with someone about what’s going on so you can think through your options more clearly. I will be praying for you.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

      • Sr. Kathryn thank you and Sr. Sharon for your prayer. Yes i love my husband and our marriage deeply and do not want it to go in for a divorce. yes i know he has seperated from me mentally even though i stay and wait for him with his parents – its been 7 mnts now since we were together. i wait on the lord to bring him back as there is no reason as such to seperate sister – marriage is a holy sacrament its not a game. just some stupid argument of the past that he has been dragging every now and then. Keep me and my husband in your prayers sister – i prayer a lot too but this problem is just not getting solved. please also pray that we find someone strong enough who can speak to him and tell him the truth and right from the wrong he is doing. someone he will listen too and confide in – his parents just dont know how to confront him directly as they are afraid of loosing him. he is just too stubbon and adament and so he is not ready to let go and make peace with me. everytime i make a attempt he insults me. sister i have not seen such a behaviour in my life and a person no one can directly go and speak to if he is doing wrong. sister its a crazy situation. i still wait with hope on the lord believing that all things are possible with pray and so i beg of you’ll to pray for me. i feel discouraged at time as he is just not changing fr the better with all my prayers and yours and family prayers. sister pls make a special equest for me to st. joseph if you pray it he will never refuse you. please . thank you and god bless you always. India.

  687. Here is a beautiful prayer to the Holy Spirit I hope someone finds it well!

    PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT (pray for 3 days or 3 hours straight) Holy Spirit,

    You who make me see everything and showed me the way to reach my ideals, You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me and You who are in all instances of my life with me, I want to thank You for everything and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from You no matter how great the material desire may be. I want to be with You and my loved ones in Your perpetual glory. Amen. In Jesus Christ, your Son’s name, I ask that you grant me (intention)Thank you for your love towards me and my loved ones.

    (While making the request, you must promise either: (a) To publish this prayer or (b) To circulate the favo

    r. This prayer should be said for 3 consecutive days. After the 3rd day, the request will be granted, no matter how difficult it may be.)

  688. My prayer: that you may help me pray for my husband, Tony K Lim, that he may be healed of his addiction to gambling.
    For my children, that they may grow up to be good, faithful, compassionate, prayerful & successful persons.
    For Arvin my son, that he may study harder & pass his grades.
    Thank you do much, Sisters.

  689. Dear Sr. Kathryn, Thank you so much for all your daily prayers.

    May I ask you to pray particularly for the following intentions? First, that my husband be enlightened with the new business venture he will start at his late age of 67; will it be beneficial?
    This has caused some conflict as I am not for it, and I do not understand why he is decided to pursue it; Second, that our negotiations with a real estate company to develop our land may be finalized soon, and that this partnership may be successful; Third, that my sister may find solution to her problem with her abusive husband and irresponsible son – is it right to leave them to be on her own as their relationship with each other seems to be beyond repair; Fourth, that the liver transplant of my one-year old grand-nephew be successful. Despite all these trials/problems I continue to rely on St. Joseph and Mother Mary for their faithfulness and relentless help in all our struggles and concerns. Thank you, Sr. and to the other sisters.

    • Dear Friend,

      I do not have time to respond directly to your prayer request, but I want you to know that Sr. Sharon and I pray daily to St. Joseph for everyone who leaves their prayer intentions here. I encourage you to turn to him and ask him to direct you to prudently deal with the situation you are in, to have the wisdom to hear God’s voice directing you, to have the courage to follow God wherever he may lead you…. These are all the things that Joseph teaches us by his life. He is leading you. The challenge is to have the ears to hear and the eyes to see. These next few days are very holy and we will be in prayer for all of them. Know that you are remembered in our prayers as we walk through the way of the cross and resurrection with the risen Jesus.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

      Joseph had to deal with business ventures in a sense each time he had to begin his work over again after going to Egypt and Nazareth…. Trust him.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  690. sr. my husband is coming home over the weekend. please pray that he communicates and makes peace with me and our marriage is restored. in the past he has come home a number of times but not communicated or was very rude. I want our marriage to be healed and saved.

  691. Sr.please pray for my marriage to be restored. My husband is coming home soon please pray that he makes peace with me and our marraige gets restored. in the past he has been coming home but not communicating at all. I really want my marriage to be saved.

    • Blessings,

      St. Joseph was a wise and prudent man. I’d ask St. Joseph to inspire you in how to deal honestly, safely, and prudently with your situation with your husband. I will pray that he will be your refuge during this time that must be devastating for a wife, and scary, and painful. Ask him for a miracle in seeing what is possible and if it is possible to begin your marriage again. There are places such as Retrouvaille that work with marriages that are in severe difficulty. Someone may come along and give you some good advice or give you a place that is safe. Watch for Joseph’s work in your life because it will be there in unexpected yet powerful ways.

      Peace.
      Sr. Kathryn

      • Sister thank you so much. You are very kind. I am just clinging on to the word of God. My husband has been doing this for the past 5 months now – that he does not speak – yes its extremely extremely upsetting and stressful. I live with his parents – he just does not acknowledge my presence at home whenever he comes down. He doesn’t even like me to message or call him – he has asked me to stop – so I have but I am just praying that the situation just changes completely. Don’t know what to do sister – it’s a tough situation.

  692. St. Joseph please heal my husband and his mindset. heal our marriage and restore it i beg of you. unite us back to each other forever. make my husband to make peace with himself and with me. he is just not communicating with me and is not looking after me. Sister please pray for us i beg of you. i want our marriage to be saved

  693. St. Joseph, like a father over his family, ask our Lord to protect and grow the loving relationship between M. and N., guiding them to/through marriage. Fill both of their hearts and actions with joy, love, trust, and true appreciation of one another and their relationship. Strengthen the resolve of both to resist temptations outside the relationship, and make them faithful to one another, forsaking all others in favor of each other. Give them plenty of loving experiences together to build a deeply trusting, deeply loving bond that lasts a lifetime, like the bond you willingly entered with Mary. Open N.’s heart to accept the love M. has for him and to express himself to M. openly. Open M.’s heart to express herself well and give loving gestures N. will accept. Enhance and guide their communication to build a better, stronger relationship that is stable. Fill them with patience and kindness for one another. Give them genuine happiness to be with each other, reinforcing spending time together. Cast off third party persons that can damage their relationship, and fill those persons with respect for M. and N. and their relationship. Open their hearts to receive our Lord’s blessings. Continue to heal N. from his past traumas and depression, and do the same with M. Give N. the father figure guidance he needs to stay on track and be stable. He has been lonely and in need of a father since his passed years ago. Give him love and attention within that soothe his worries and satisfaction with his life. I give praise to God, the Father Almighty, and to His Son, who have already made a difference in this situation!

  694. Saint Joseph, Please work miracles in my life..I have waited patiently and suffered too much!!!..I need employment…have pity at the least!!!

    • Dear,

      Yes, I will certainly remember you and your husband in prayer. We entrust him to St. Joseph, knowing that we cannot control another person. St. Joseph can guide you, strengthen you, help you to grow and to love. Open your heart to God’s gracious providence with trust and you will discover a beautiful way ahead, even if it were to be difficult.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

      • Sister, my husband will be reaching home tomorrow. please pray that he makes peace with me and our marraige is restored on this trip of his. He has been cominh dowm at least 3 times now but has not made up – and so the upset feeling in the house just continues to stay. so i want it to be solved this time. He usually comes in a very upset mood esp. when he sees me or i try to speak to him. He doesnt speak only to me in the house – this nature is only towards me – he goes about his daily routen very well otherwise. I really dont know whats wrong with him that he is just not making up with me. I dont know whether i should believe what is is potraying to me or should i cling on to the lord for a restoration of the amrriage. there are no attempts from his side that i see positive – other then coming home – but not speaking. sister i am very very worried and troubled. its just been few years since we got marraied. he was down for my b’day but did not wish me or speak. Sister what do i do in this situation. I want st joseph to heal this marriage as he is a sait for husbands. Please pray for me sister – goinf through a ery difficult time in my life.

  697. Dear St. Joseph-I come to you today to implore your intercessions: for my mother who passed seven months ago today and whom I grieve daily; for improved relationship with brother / family without disagreement; for peaceful and successful resolution to all financial and property concerns, that all will resolve in accordance to my mother’s wishes and with guidance of the Holy Spirit; for the ability to find someone to discuss my feelings of having failed my mother as her primary caregiver; for all who are ill and dying. Please St. Joseph and Jesus, come to my aid.

  698. Dear Sr. Kathryn,

    I feel so lost in my life. I am 35 and the mother of 5 beautiful children. 5 months ago I was diagnosed with Follicular Thyroid cancer. I have been undergoing treatments since my thyroid was removed. I am so tired all the time. My husband is in the ARMY and we are stationed 2800 miles away from my family and friends. I feel so depressed all the time and saddened. My father is in failing health and my step mother is as well. I want my family to be stationed back home where I would have help and my parents would get a chance to enjoy their grandchildren. I feel so discouraged because I married someone in the ARMY and I knew what I was getting into. I just was not expecting to get cancer or for parents to have failing health. I am not one of those wives that complains, so this is hard for me. I pray to St. Joseph to give me strength and courage to get through this time of sadness and despair.

    • Rachel,

      To feel sad, lonely, afraid, and exhausted is quite understandable in your situation. You are walking through a dark valley indeed. In Psalm 23 God tells us that even in the dark valley he is there beside us. He is there, wherever you are in the world, beside you. He might be showing up in a friend or someone who offers you some support or compassion, in an inspiration, in the courage to get through another day, in some manifestation of love and goodness in your children. With your health and family situation you need to take care of yourself and get some rest. Talk to Joseph about what is in your heart and ask him to help smooth a way to find peace and some of what you desire for your family. Entrust your parents to his care. Rachel, I was once very depressed after a stroke. Jesus has made all tears, your tears, sacred because he himself cried on this earth. In these days we are soon going to walk beside him to Calvary and then to Resurrection. There is a new section on our website going up which might help you. It is about forgiveness. Some of the questions and suggestions in the 10 step process would be helpful even if what we have to forgive is a situation we are in, or whoever assigned you to wherever you are stationed, or yourself. This will be the link: http://pauline.org/ACatholicApproachtoLiving/StartForgiving/StartForgivingTheProcess/tabid/711/Default.aspx

      Sometimes it is helpful to think things through and find some peace in order to gain new energy and hope.

      I will be praying for you, Rachel, each morning and entrust you especially to Sr. Sharon who prays daily to St. Joseph for people’s intentions.

      Sr. Kathryn

      • Thank you Sr. Kathryn for your comforting words and prays. I also thank Sr. Sharon for her as well. I will go to the link and pray to feel whole again.
        Rachael

  699. I highly recommend the “Prayer to the Holy CLoak of Saint Joseph”.
    Saint Teresa of Avila recommended this prayer. Simply Google it.

  700. Dear Sr. Kathryn,
    I just received a note from a very dear friend of mine, who’s put in a prayer request for her friend Terese
    “Would you please keep Terese in your prayers. She had a mastectomy about 7 weeks ago for cancer and it all turned out well. The day prior to this surgery, they discovered her hemoglobin was 7.2 & she received 2 units of blood post op. Today her hemoglobin is the same and her primary doctor is sending her to an oncologist tomorrow. She called me from the doctor’s parking lot crying and telling me how fearful she is. Her dad has been in the hospital for about 46 days now and he is doing poorly as well. She also had to put her 14 y. o. cat down today unexpectedly as the vet said it was full of cancer. (She is still working as she has a son & daughter in a private Catholic H.S. & another daughter in college and feels she cannot afford to miss any more work). She is overwhelmed and very very frightened”.
    Thank you!

    • Tanya,

      Terese has been walking through such a dark valley and must be very tired. Let us surround her with prayer to the angels who were such powerful helpers to St. Joseph in his times of confusion and sorrow. They always brought him to safety.

      My God bless you. Let us pray together,
      Sr. Kathryn

  701. Dear Sr. Kathryn,
    Please pray for my little 3.5 year old girl Mary. She was born with a very serious birth defect where her esophagus was not attached to her stomach. After 19 surgeries, Mary’s esophagus is in good working order, but at 10 months old, Mary developed a horrible oral aversion which she never got over. She only takes water by mouth. She’s too afraid to try to eat (she’s still tube-fed). Please pray for Mary’s complete healing of her oral aversion, and for her production of extremelly thick secretions to reduce, which causes her to throw up a couple of times a day.
    Please also pray for my husband Jon’s conversion of heart and devotion to Jesus and Mary. Jon was never raised in a church, nor was he ever baptised. However, he does love Christ and believes Him to be God the Savior. Please pray that Jon is set on fire by the Holy Spirit, that he will have the desire one day soon to be baptised into the Catholic Church. Jon saw the joy I experienced just 5 year ago when I converted to the Catholic Church and was confirmed on April 7, 2007. I want nothing more than for my family to be completely commited to Christ, Mary, Joseph, and the Catholic Church. Thank you and God bless you for all that you are doing in St. Joseph’s honor!!!!

    Tanya

    • Tanya,

      Mothers are such powerful symbols to me of God’s love, a powerful unconditional love that only wants the best for others. I salute your courage. Yes I will pray with you for your daughter and husband. Let us trust St. Joseph.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  702. Im feeling super disappointed … I feel sadness. A void in my life. 35 yrs old and really want to find someone to marry but I realize single life better if you can’t find the right person. I feel so alone. I realize I have to be comfortable being by myself but most days Im sad coming home to an empty house. My heart feels empty. I feel like the only one who loves me is my dog….

    I feel like I have been coming home to an empty home since I was 7 yrs. old. No one home. Just me. My Mom was a single Mom working.

    I just feel like come is this really my life. I feel internally sad. I wear many masks… I pretend to others I’m great and super. Inside I feel tortured damaged from the past, angry and upset about where my life

    has gone today. I feel so angry with my sisters and all the bullets they have thrown my way. How did I get these siblings? I wish I had a family but having one at the expense of suffering severe anxiety and taking verbal bullets is hard… I wish them well. I wish them love. I wish I wasn’t so mad at them .I wish for something better but I feel perpetually stuck…

    • Brooke,

      I will remember you in prayer. I have found, sometimes, that saints answer prayers by giving us opportunities to help ourselves to grow and stretch and change. I hear alot of pain in your prayer request, alot of pain that you have suffered and lived through. We need to take care of these wounds many times before we can move on and find the love we desire. I know because I’ve been there. I pray that St. Joseph will show you options for finding more peace and happiness.

      Sr. Kathryn

  703. Please pray for my husband. He has fallen away from the Church and has fallen into serious problems with substance abuse. Please pray to St Joesph so that he can intercede and ask God to heal him. Pray for him that he can be a husband and father like Joesph. Please also pray for me so that I have the patience and graces to stay strong and be a wife and mother like Mary for him and our children.

    • Michelle,

      What a worry and a sorrow for any mother…. Let us tell St. Joseph that you need protection and guidance and strength. I shall remember you in prayer.

      Sr. Kathryn

  704. Please pray that I may find a faithful, loving, wonderful, handsome husband soon. I really want to get married, but haven’t been able to find anyone that shares my values, etc.

  705. Thank you Saint Joseph fro that you have done in my Life. Thank you for all that you will do. Thank you for re-establishing your relationship with me. Please Answer all my prayers according to God’s will.

    Joseph Gerard Christopher

  706. Thank you St. Joseph for your intercessions in my life. I ask you to please remember my deceased nephew, Joseph, and my grandfather, Joe, on this your feast day. I ask that they intercede on my behalf and on behalf of all our family/needs. I ask you, St. Joseph, to assist me with all decisions and with family relationships – strengthen them.

  707. I am a totally lost soul. I have suffered an intense emotional bereavement. My beautiful elderly mother has died. I was her sole carer. I am chronically ill myself and am now alone in the world. I have no friends. My family are indifferent to me. I cannot cope any more. I need a powerful miracle to heal my life. I would be happy to embrace death on the basis that my lifes work has now come to an end. I would be glad to go to my real home now if God would be so kind as to allow it. I beg of you humbly to pray for me for intercession. I place myself in your love and care. Thank you and bless your good works.

    • courage Anna! God our loving Father is with you and has you wrapped in his infinite loving arms, pressed to his tender, compassionate, most powerful heart sustaining you in your suffering. He is with you if it seems no one else is. Say a short prayer to St. Joseph and Jesus “Lord Jesus who loved and loves me and gives me life of grace and hope and love, help me! Be at my side. Dear St. Joseph foster father of Jesus and Spouse of Mary I cast myself and urgent needs into your powerful heart. Help me to pray with confidence and trust to my Heavenly Father. You, please, be a father to me in Jesus’ Father and our Father’s name. I cast my cares upon you and trust you will help me quickly in my life. I believe; help my unbelief and console me. I thank you ahead of time. Amen
      sr sharon Anne Legere I will remember you in my daily rosary to St. Joseph and evening novena prayer. You are loved by God and all the saints. God bless you!

  708. Asking for prayers that we find the right home and the best school for our children. It has been very overwhelming and we just don’t know whether to take something that has opened up for us, or wait until a better opportunity comes. If we wait, we run the risk of not finding anything in time. If we move now, we fear we may be “settling” in terms of the school. St. Joseph please make things clear for us.

    • Amanda,

      These decisions are so hard to make. I will pray for prudence and wisdom for you and your family. God has a plan for your family and it is a good plan. He will not lead you astray.

      Sr. Kathryn

  709. Please pray for my sister, still an a hospital ICU after 2 1/2 months and needs healing for an obstinate wound. She is also in financial straits and must declare bankruptcy.

  710. Please join prayer for GB who is doing a novena for a deeply serious need to Jesus, Mary, Saints Joseph, Anthony, Jose Maria, Oliver Plunkett & Veronica.

  711. Jim
    If I may reply – I, too, took care of my mom until she passed last January. Of course, there are times when we wonder if we did the best, and question that and yes, ask for forgiveness if we made mistakes. But I chose to believe that God forgives us if we are sincere, and if He does, then we need to forgive ourselves for our short comings, too….think about it, He sees all – He knows all – He sees your heart…and if the King of Kings can forgive you, then you have to be kind to yourself. I am sure your mom was happy you were able to care for her as much as you did. No one is perfect – we just try our best and I’ve learned through this webpage and the kind sisters and people who write here that life is a journey – and if St Joseph walks beside us, we are not alone. And that if we give God and St Joseph our dilemmas and relationships, an answer will come in the right time and peace follows. Somehow someway. Things will work out in His timing and for our best. He knew us and all we would do before the world began and yet He called us into life – He breathed life into us – He loves us more than we know…I wish you peace.

  712. St. Joseph, perhaps I am not as fervent in my prayer life as I may be. I seek answers to many problems which are weighing me down and causing fear and anxiety. I seek a message from my mother in Heaven, that I didn’t fail her as a caregiver-I go over and over all the errors I believe I made and ever acknowledge my failure to her; I seek forgiveness of our Lord for all my failures in life; I seek a renewed relationship with sibling, free of disagreements and conflicts; I seek a successful outcome to the property and financial matters I am responsible for; I ask for prayers for my sibling/family and their needs, for all who are ill, for those who have passed today and who will pass this evening; for all who are praying for me on this site and the sites I have asked for prayers; for the Sisters who pray for me. I know that I am burdening all with frequent requests for prayers, but I feel so hopeless and despairing and am unsure how to continue.

  713. Dear Saint Joseph,

    I also feel really bad about opening up my big mouth about my friends brother to AL. I should not have done that. Help me to be prudent and wise about the things people share with me. Help me to be a closed book and not discuss things that are private to others…. Please help me… What a day already…

  714. Today is starting out bad. My clients are disrespecting me. Dropped the deal… Didn’t turn in earnest money… So annoying ,,, I am trying to be patient. He wasted my time and he doesn’t get it. Gas time and everything… Anyway and now this next client. I am trying to be patient with her and she doesn’t get it.

    Help Saint Joseph I am trying to earn a living… Please help me. I am trying to be positive. Please give me the graces to be patient. Please also pray for AL… He is so nice. Please pray he opens his heart and reveals his intentions. Again I thank you and I praise Jesus for all the things that come my way good or bad. They are opportunities to grow and learn… I can’t breath… I am angry… Please help!!! Please help me… I love you Dear Saint Joseph… Please give my Dad a hug and my Mom and ask them to pray for me too. It seems like forever since I have seen them. I long to know the people they have become in heaven not the one’s they were here. I wish I could call them to talk especially my my Dad. I long for this companionship from parents in my heart. It is such a void. Sometimes I question who I am and if someone will love me beneath all the tortures demons and wounds I have… I feel tortured sometimes with sadness and a void.

    I long to be loved like a daughter should… Please send graces of love from them… I really need their help and guidance.

    Please help me Saint Joseph. At this point in the day I long for heaven…. I long for a hug from my Dad and my Mom…

    • Brooke,

      Your Mom and Dad are very close to you. You can talk to them. They will inspire you because they love you. If they were weak in their love for you on earth, all that is healed now. One day they will see you again, and you will feel their hug. But for now you can speak to them and they will show you their love in some way. I know they will for they are very much alive and they love you. Take some deep breaths, reflect on this day and what you need for yourself to be truly connected to others. Be respectful of your mistakes and compassionate with who you are. Pray to Joseph as a father.

      I will pray for you,
      Sr. Kathryn

  715. please pray for AL. Let him come to know Jesus. I really like him. Thank you God for letting me see him today. I pray he has a blessed day at work tomorrow and that he is protected. I pray he gets closer to Jesus. He is such a sweet person.

    I pray for our relationship that it be revealed. I pray for God’s will in our
    lives. God Bless Him and thank you for the time spent.

    Go to him Saint Joseph.

  716. Praying for quick financial assistance, relief of stress, and relief of anger of so many family members towards each other. Just want us all to be happy with each other. Feel like all of this is going to cause me to have a stroke if I don’t see any signs of relief. Praying daily for these petitions. Amen.

    • Agnes,

      I will join you in prayer. I have learned that sometimes we have to make peace with life as it is before it begins to improve. St. Joseph had to learn this in a sense. He had to be patient with having to pick and go to Egypt after Jesus’ Birth. All his plans ruined by a cruel King’s plans. Then pick up and come back seven years later. All you can influence is yourself. If you find a space of peace and tranquillity with all of this, others will also.

      Sr. Kathryn

  717. Prayer Request for Vincent

    For Vincent who is suffering from depression again. He recently stopped his good practices of daily going to Mass, Adoration and saying the Rosary. Please help me pray that he step back into the light and into these good practices because our friends have forgotten him and it has not helped that his home environment was/is not supporting his walk with God.

  718. St. Joseph heard our petitions and brought them to the feet of the Infant Jesus. We are now in prayer of Thanksgiving for our new home, a safe and secure life, and the blessings of Heaven!

  719. Help me to get a fas course and to earn the money i need,a course that me and fiance will be happy with to live the rest of our lives together very happy and faithful nd to god,a grow stronger love everyday,i pray that the devil keeps away from us forever all jealousy and evil,and for us to do gods will amen

    • Dearest Friends, I will remember you daily in my rosary in honor of St. Joseph who is very powerful and will grant you his intercession for all the blessings God in his infinite love and mercy wants to give you. Pray every day to St. Joseph with faith and trust. He does not fail those who ask him for favors that God has in his plans for your best interests here in this life and in heaven. The whole purpose of life is to reach heaven and to enjoy our Good, gentle, loving, compassionate God who forgives our sins if we ask him with sorrow and the good will to try to do his will the best we can. He is always at our side helping us in our life’s difficulties.
      You are in our prayers every day. God bless you!
      Sr. Sharon Anne Legere and Sr. Kathryn James

    • Dear Margarette,

      We turn with you in great trust to St. Joseph and in prayer. He too longed for a happy life together with Mary so he certainly will understand.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  720. Please pray for ic and lr that God reunites and brings them back together very soon and that God heals their broken relationship. Please pray for the healing of lr’s illness and that ic gets a job. Please pray that ap stops manipulating lr. And please pray that ap will leave manila and go home to her parents very soon before this month ends. Thank you.

  721. Sister Kathryn
    I know you remember me in your prayers and I thank you. Please know that I, too, remember you and Sister Sharon and this website.
    This is a difficult week with so many doors seeming to close but I cannot stop praying to St Joseph who must have faced many nights pondering in his heart how to care for his precious family. Its one of those times that everywhere I turn there is a dilemma or a problem. I, too, ponder how to meet all these issues but must believe that God will show us the way and I can’t stop even if it is quiet. I guess the best gift I can give St Joseph during this week before his feast day is to continue to have faith in him. Thank you and good night.
    Julie

  722. Thanks, Sr Kathryn. It is a lonely time in my life right now. The anxiety and depression has done that to me. I DO want answers right now! It is the nature of suffering and struggle. I need to rely on God more and trust more. Please continue to pray for that for me. Thanks for sharing your story. I must hope and trust that this is God’s will and try to be patient and continue to pray for HIs intercession. I pray to lots of Saints for their intercession as well. Thanks for being there Sr, for listening, and for all your help. Paul

  723. I desperately need St. Joseph’s help. We’ve been trying to sell our home for close to a year now. I’ve buried his statue and have been praying for so long. I’m losing faith and I don’t want to. It’s just been so long and I worry more and more each day. I won’t stop praying. I just want this burden to go away.

    • Vivian,

      This does sound like a great burden for you. Might I offer a different twist to your prayers to St. Joseph? If you are willing you could pray like this: St. Joseph, we need to sell this house. At least, that’s what I think is best for us to do. I here and now open myself entirely to your powerful intercession to lead me in the direction of God’s dreams for us. If there is something else in God’s plan, please make it very clear to me. Amen.

      Sometimes God has plans that are better than ours, but they are impossible to see. It takes alot of courageous faith to trust. I will join with you in prayer. Trust him,
      Sr. Kathryn

      • Thanks for giving me another way to pray to St. Joseph. Your words are much appreciated. May God bless you.

        Vivian

  724. Please continue to keep our precious prayer partner and sister in Christ, Sonya, in your prayers as she struggles with the aftermath of her first chemo. She has been having such a hard time of it. Also lift up her husband, Anthony, who has been without a job for two years. They have two adorable young boys who must be mystified about the changes that are going on in their lives.
    Saint Joseph, Please enter into this family and provide them with everything that you provided for Jesus and Mary. Thank you for all your prayers. We love you for everything you did for Jesus and Mary and we appreciate your intercession on our behalf.
    Blessings everyone…Dani MarieBernadette

  725. PRAYER REQUEST; CONVERSION OF SINNERS, WORLD PEACE, END TO ABORTION, FAMILY AND MARRIAGE HEALINGS, SOULS IN PURGATORY, FAMILY RETURN TO SACRAMENTS IN JESUS NAME AND THROUGH THE INTERESSION OF OUR BLESSED MOTHER MARY AND HER HUSBAND SAINT JOESPH. THANK YOU GOD THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT.

  726. My name is Sandra Amelia D’cunha Roman catholic , met a Hindu guy Preetham Brahmadeviah, He is a Jain. He promised to get married to me and also get converted to Christianity. He believes in Jesus, We are staying together and we have a baby girl2 1/2 yrs old Samantha Rose. He is not coming forward for civil marriage nor to get our marriage blessed in the church. His baptism and baby baptism is delayed too. He wants to get baptized and he himself chose the name Sebastian, He is totally under ancestral curses. He was ditches by two girls love failure. he started ruining girls life.98 girls he played with, even i was his target, however now he has stopped this by lot of prayers and fasting .He had an affair with a girl, that also with prayers got cleared. He is a prodigal son totally in Satan. Hands ,anger hatred ,un forgiveness, false pride attitude, vulgar speech ,no fear of god nor man , addicted to drinks smoke and tobacco, baby he teaches bad words gives her beer as well, I don’t know what n how to pray, he is a stubborn person in bondage and slave pornography. Please pray that the precious words of god destroy all the works of Satan and change his, bless him and all that Satan is holding and obstructing be freed in Jesus name and Jesus work in his mine and baby Samantha life.ao we can work for his glory. amen

    • Sandra,

      I’m very concerned for you. Please take care of yourself in this situation. I will be praying for your protection and that of Samantha. Miracles are fantastic things, but often they are gradual in coming. And they rely also on the openness of the person. Let us pray for Prethaam’s openness to the grace and mercy of God. At the same time, however, I pray that you wake up to the fullness of your humanity, that you trust that your love for him will also show in whatever action you must take to protect your child and yourself.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  727. I know I have asked for prayers frequently. My apologies. I thank you for this opportunity and for prayers offered. My struggles seem to continue and I find myself worrying continually over many issues. Please pray that I may experience some peace in matters related to family, property, and finances; that there will be peace with family this weekend and beyond. Please also pray for family and friends who are encountering problems. Also, please remember my mother and grandmother (whose birthday would have been today 3/9) that they will be blessed in Heaven.

    • Hi Jim,
      You can never ask for prayers too often. Keep right on asking us for prayer and watch how heaven will answer. There is no need to ever apologize when asking for prayer. You are helping many of us to draw even closer to God each time we pray for you and that’s a good thing. 🙂
      Actually I see a big difference in you over the months and although you might not have noticed it yet there seems to be a deeper sense of peace and understanding in you and it is a joy to behold.
      God Bless You my friend and know that we are praying for you and your family. I can think of no better birthday than one spent in the real presence of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
      Enjoy this beautiful day.
      Dani MarieBernadette

  728. Sisters, I humbly ask for your prayers and St Joseph’s intercession in my life. I continue to struggle with anxiety and depression and major changes that are coming in my life. I am sinner. My faith is weak. I am seriously doubting God right now. I know there is a Creator but feel that none of prayers are being heard or answered. I continue to pray but feel that it is fruitless. Please help me and pray for me. Thanks.

    • Paul,

      Thank you for sending us your prayer intention. I want to tread lightly with your story, your experience, because it is yours. I can share with you my experience and hope that it gives you some seeds of hope or possible options to deepening your own faith. I suffered a stroke at 21 and for 12 years after lived with a misdiagnosis which led to depression and wild mood swings. Eventually I was diagnoses with TLE and started another 6 years trying to get my mood swings back to normal and living with medication. I experience, in those years, great challenges to my faith. Changes that happen in our life can make our faith feel like it is fragile. Almost that it is being uprooted. That is scary. I want God to come in and fix everything immediately. I began to see how he was very carefully leading me to books, putting people in my path, inspiring me with ideas, meeting me in prayer during those years of pain and that through the 18 years I have become a different person. The struggles created me as I am today. Prayer will seem fruitless if we are expecting God to do exactly what we say now. It just doesn’t work that way. Even Jesus didn’t get an answer from his Father like that. The resurrection is our sign that though we walk in the dark valley and cannot see our way, we will be raised to a new life at some point. Though we give up everything, even life itself, or have everything taken away, there will be a resurrection for us that will be unexpected and given. I will be praying for you Paul and will ask Sr. Sharon also to pray for you specifically each morning. If you have trouble believing let Sr. Sharon believe for you right now. Trust in that.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  729. St. Joseph, you are so kind and loving and you took such good care of our Blessed Mother and our Savior Jesus. Please then intercede on behalf of all of us seeking good honest employment, especially those who have been directed to the prayer ministry on this website. Lend us your grace and intercession to guide us that we may use our talents, skills, and knowledge to the greater glory of your Son Jesus Christ.

    Sisters, thank you so much for your prayers; your care and attention reflects the divine love of Jesus and I believe we all truly appreciate your love and devotion.

    Amen

    • Chris
      That is a beautiful prayer and one that I needed to see this am.
      I have been praying for a job to take care of myself and my family and continue to pray for those also in need through this website. The good sisters are remembering us in their prayers to St Joseph – I cannot believe that his heart is not moved with compassion for all those who call to him – somehow he will show us what to do and bless the sisters for all they do.
      Julie

    • Chris,

      You are so kind. The presence of each person on this website is a grace to me. I feel that you are part of my and our family. Our eternal destinies are tied together as we offer each other support and compassion on the way.

      May you be blessed.
      Sr. Kathryn

  730. Dear Lord I am praying through the intercesstion of St.Joseph to provide employment since I will be laid off work soon. I need a job to support my wife and children as they depend on me being the only wage earner in the family. Please pray that the Heavenly Father will grant me a job as soon as possible.

    • Ralston,

      I will be praying for you. It must be frightening or disheartening facing a layoff. Pray daily to St. Joseph and remind him of his love for wife and child and his sense of responsibility. I will also.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  731. Firstly, I thank “GLORIOUS ST.JOSEPH” for favoring me with whatever I am today.
    Secondly, I request “GLORIOUS ST.JOSEPH” to have mercy on me, and forgive my sins.
    Thirdly, as I am still jobless since July 2011, and I am herewith seeking intercession of “GLORIOUS ST.JOSEPH” for a suitable employment at the earliest !!!

    • Anthony,

      You seem to have a strong devotion to St. Joseph. I will join you in prayer to him for suitable employment. These days are so difficult for so many, my heart is moved by the pain people are experiencing. Keep courage and have hope in St. Joseph and the merciful love of God.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  732. I am praying for all of you this month…I am still without a job..sometimes I feel forsaken..but know Saint Joseph will intercede for me

  733. I read above ”I pray a rosary in honor of St. Joseph every morning and a novena prayer every even”
    How do i pray the rosary in honour of st Joseph. I pray the normal rosary and each decade i dedicate prayer for the sick, souls in purgatory, world peace, parents, holy father.

    Thank you.

  734. Dear Sr. Kathryn,

    Please pray for my marriage to be restored very soon. My beloved husband of over 15 years wants a divorce and has moved out for over a month. We have 3 children. I am devastated and confused. However, he has agreed to attend Retrouvaille with me this month – it is a Catholic marriage lifeline program, which St Joseph is patron saint of. Please pray that this program will somehow miraculously revive our marriage, as it has done for many other struggling couples. Thank you & May God Bless You.

    • MK

      I am so sorry for the news regarding your marriage. That must be painful. My brother has lived through the same thing. I know alot about Retrouvaille and that is a good move to go through this experience together. From my own experience, we often just lack basic communication skills, and the deeper support we need to honor our own needs, have compassion for others, and create solutions which respect everyone’s needs. To move toward each other and not away from them. How is it that we learn to live with others in love and not from a place of pain. I pray that you will learn some of these skills as they are taught at Retrouvaille.

      I will remember you in prayer and also recommend you to Sr. Sharon.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  741. Respected Sister,

    My name is Abraham and I am writing from Calicut, INDIA. My business is going through a very difficult time. I need God’s Grace to come out of the difficult situation. I have taken some important steps to bring it out of debts and to give away money to people I owe. I need God’s helping hand to stay bold and exit from this difficult situation. Please pray for me and my business. Pray for my wife who too share my burden.

  742. Sonya
    Please know that people in this blog pray for one another and we have the good sisters pray for us, too. I know it seems hard and scary at times but God will not forsake us – it’s not easy taking one step at a time but we have to believe that He sees things we don’t see and that NOTHING and NO ONE can keep His love from us. I will remember you tonight when I pray.

  743. There are lots of people praying for you Sonya, you are not alone!

    May the Lord Bless you and Keep you
    The Lord make His Face to shine upon you and be gracious to you
    May the Lord lift up His Countenance upon you and bring you peace!
    Amen!

  744. Sr Sharon and Sr Kathryn
    I will always, always remember you to St Joseph as you have led me to his protection. I continue to look for work to take care of the mortgage and taxes and bills and sometimes I do get defeated but I have taken to calling out to St Joseph – if God entrusted his beloved son and his wonderful Mary to Joseph’s safekeeping, that says a lot – oh I by no means come close to their holiness but I figure he will take me and my family under his protection. Yes, there are time issues but God is never late and He has a plan I know of. How honored I am to have you two holy sisters pray for me – I’ve come to think of prayer as a loving gesture – I especially like praying for those I do not know or for those who have no one to pray for them – and all those who call out to Joseph. I hope that God likes that. I do so love Him. Thank you and goodnight. Julie

    • sonya, I tried to answer you yesterday, but since I am still not up to pare health wise I haven’t done too well on the computer. I’m sorrh.

      • Sonya, I recited the rosary in honor of St. Joseph for you this morning asking St. Joseph to comfort you, to strengthen you in your sorrow and pain. Continue your faith and trust in Good St. Joseph who himself suffered many disappointments, plans gone awry, and serious illness. He invites you to pray with ever more faith, confidence and bold confidence to the Heavenly Father to grant you peace, courage and even a cure if that is in his loving plans for you for your best interests here and in heaven. I have embraced your pain and suffering fear in my heart which I then place in Joseph and Jesus and Mary’s heart. St. Joseph would want you to love life to the full and love to the full as best you can and know God’s tenderness and infinitely loving care. As one holy person once said “grab the present moment” for that is all you have;Jesus himself is present to you in every moment. May St. Joseph pour out material and spiritual blessings upon you and your family. With great love and prayers for you, Sr. Sharon

  745. Please pray for my health beautiful Saint Joseph… I just went to the doctor… They found lump in my breast… I have an ultrasound Monday… Please pray for me and take my worry away… I am very blessed the doctor was able to see me this morning as quickly as this came… Thank you for today

    I love you and trust in you!!!

    • Dear Brooke, Have courage and trust, as you already do. St. Joseph is pleased with your prayer. God, Jesus, Mary, and st. Joseph are with you are very close to you. I will remember you tonight in my prayers to St. Joseph and in the rosary I say every morning in honor of St. Joseph. You are in his great heart which God has given him. He knows pain and uncertainty and is most ready to comfort you and help you with your healing. You are in my heart and prayers as I pray to the Foster Father of Jesus Christ and ask him anything that is for your best interests here on earth and in heaven.
      Dear St.Joseph please help Brooke in her trial and give her great faith and peace. Amen.
      Sr. Sharon Anne

      • Sr. Sharon Anne,

        God Bless You and I am so filled with gratitude for your prayers! Thank you for taking the time to pray for me. I really love your site and I love reading the prayers… They give me a sense of hope and a deeper love for Saint Joseph…

        Thank you so much! My heart and prayers go out to you! I will keep you in my prayers and your mission! Thank you for your prayers and hope!

        God Bless You! Many blessings to you and prayers!

        Brooke:)

  746. sr kathryn, its sonya. things are not going good with the breast cancer. i read my doctors report , they give me no more thanone year. i 33 and i have two children, please please pray for us. we are in pain, iam extremely scared, i want to live, i want to be with my boys and i want Jesus to please heal me. i dont know where God is taking me or our family.
    with tears and pain, please dont forget us.

    • Dear Sonya,

      Thank you for writing. I regret I haven’t been able to get back on the blog till now.

      I think I hear a lot of anxiety and sorrow and desperation in the face of the doctor’s report. As a mother who wants to care for her children and see them through all their growing up years, there must be a tremendous sorrow and fear for them. How much love a mother has for her children! I believe God is also full of sorrow at the news. We want to live. You want to live. We were made to live! Illness wasn’t part of the original plan of creation…. It is a result of our fallen situation. He care for you so much and for your boys. Cry out to him through the intercession of St. Joseph. The prayers in the bible, the Psalms, are full of prayers of people who are afraid or angry or alone. They encourage us to tell God exactly how it is for us. Jesus also did the same before he was arrested. He was not afraid to show his Father his fear. His resurrection also assures us that no matter how dark the Calvary through which we walk, we will always find at the end of a beautiful rainbow and resurrection, for ourselves and for others. I know you are afraid, but as you process this sad news, you will be able to be with your sons with all your heart during this time, to give them everything you can of your love. Know that I am praying for you.

      Sr. Kathryn

  749. My wife says she no longer loves me and is divorcing me. She says we have nothing in common. She refuses any intervention. She does not agree with how we raise the boys. I love her.

    • Thomas,

      I have a sibling who has gone through the same situation as you. It was–and still is–extremely painful for him. We have talked alot and I have been privileged to see the way he has grown in holiness, the example he has set for his children, the way he has matured in grown in his love for his wife…. I will pray to St. Joseph with you for guidance and strength and comfort. No matter what happens, since we cannot control another, God walks with you and it is an opportunity to discover something beautiful about yourself and about life and about God’s utter reliability. Let us join in prayer and I will ask Sr. Sharon to pray also.

      Sr. Kathryn

    • Dear Thomas, Sr. Kathryn recommended your needs and pain to me for prayers. I place you in my heart and in the daily rosary and novena I direct to good St. Joseph for those who with confidence and trust invoke God’ loving blessing through the powerful intercession of his Son’s Foster Father. I join my prayers and those of all the sisters to yours.Jesus , Mary and Joseph are with you and will help you.God bless!

    It is so good to hear from you – I missed you! I was concerned not reading your posts. I hope you will feel better – when I pray I always mention you to St Joseph and I will continue to and also for Sr Sharon.

    My sister is trying to work things out and I am still looking for work but have learned to be patient and keep asking St Joseph to do what is best – if he wants me to work, I will and if there’s another way to keep the house and keep going, God will show me I will wait for Him.

    I learned a lot from you. God embrace you.
    Julie

    • Julie! How are you! I’ so happy to be well enough to greet you once in a while as I daily progress in getting well. Thank you so, so much for your prayers for me I never forget you in my thoughts and prayers. I have been invited to be the official “prayer” for you good people so devoted to St. Joseph and have such faith and trust in him. I will remember you in my daily rosary and novena prayer in honor of St. Joseph. I can’t promise to write very often but you are in my heart. I send my prayers every day. Please continue to pray for me as things continue to improve each day. Thank you so much. Love, Sr.Sharo

  751. Jim,
    I know the feeling. There are so many people I loved who have gone before me and I cannot wait to see them again in Heaven. 🙂
    If you send me her name I will add it to the Purgatory Project where she will benefit from perpetual Masses and also all the graces from all Adorations done by all the many volunteers.
    In His love…Dani

  752. Dani: Thank you. I hope I can find the strength to move forward and to realize that God and my mother forgive me for anything I may or may not have done. What I wouldnt give to have just one more conversation with her-she was a great Mother, friend, mentor.

    • Dani,

      Thanks so much for being active on St. Joseph’s blog. I have been a bit under the weather and wanted also to let you know that Sr. Sharon hasn’t been feeling well. She is now the official prayer partner for this blog and will keep all St. Joseph’s People in her prayers daily. Sr. Elizabeth has now been conscripted to assist in walking with people in their needs so you’ll see her name popping up here and there.

      I hope all is well,
      Sr. Kathryn

  753. Hi Jim,
    I am still praying for you. May you be filled with deep peace and a renewed sense of joy. Please do not beat yourself up with worries about the quality of care that you provided for your mom. You were there for her when no one else was able to. Of course there must have been many days of frustration and irritation, days where you may not have had a lot of love to respond to her needs with. That is understandable because you were drained emotionally. God certainly understands that. He is not a petty God…He is a compassionate father and he is focused on the fact that you were there for her. Jim, not everyone is gifted with the qualities of being able to deal with or handle the sick and dying. As you well know now, it is definitely not easy. The time has come Jim, to let go of the pain, the frustration, the exhaustion, the profound and relentless grief that accompanies second guessing yourself and realize that you did the very best you could for her. If you truly believe that you failed her in any way then talk with God and ask forgiveness, forgive yourself and know that God has already forgiven you.
    There is absolutely nothing we can do to change anything that we did or did not do yesterday. Yesterday is completely gone and we are meant to see it that way. There is absolutely nothing we can do about tomorrow because it has not yet arrived and we do not know what awaits us. The only thing we have is today, In fact, it is this very moment that is a gift from God and we need to choose how we are going to live it. Are we grateful He has gifted us with this moment? Then we must joyfully give it back to Him with a heart full of love. This moment Jim …is all you need to worry about.
    God Bless You….and may He fill you up from head to toe, inside and out,with an abundance of joy.

  754. Dear St. Joseph. I humbly ask you to guide me in all financial and property concerns, that there may be a peaceful and successful conclusion to my mother’s final affairs-as she would have wanted; that I will have a new, peaceful relationship with my brother-that he will have a softening of heart towards me, my niece/husband; that I will find a means to cope with grief and feelings that I may failed my mother as her primary caregiver; that I will experience a miracle of peace of mind. Thank you.

    • Dear Jim,

      When St. Joseph died, Mary was his primary caregiver. He would never wanted Mary to worry after his death that she hadn’t been good enough. We all do as best we can with what we have. Your mother wants you to be at peace. Ask your mother to intercede for the family now. I will pray to you to St. Joseph. I will also ask Sr. Sharon to pray. She hasn’t been feeling well, but is committed to everyone who sends their intentions to St. Joseph through this blog. I know she’ll pray and that she remembers you.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  757. Dear Saint Joseph:

    Help me prepare for a Holy Lent. Teach me to trust everyday in the Lord to grow in Holiness. I give all my problems concerns and cares to you.

  758. My husband and I are in the midst of negotiating a contract for our first home. We are looking to St. Joseph for guidance, grace, and peace in this stressful process. We are praying two novenas, and focusing our efforts on accepting God’s Will.

  759. Sister Kathryn

    My thanks to you in advance for your commitment to this prayer ministry and especially for your prayers. Your kindness and compassion are reflections of Jesus Divine Love. Thank You!

    Oh St. Joseph Patron of Workers please intercede on my behalf that I will do well in my interview coming up in Houston on February 15th. I have prepared well and have sought an interview with this company for almost two years now and i truly appreciate your intercession that i was chosen to be interviewed. If it be God’s Will please continue to work on my behalf that I receive this job offer. I promise, I will work my hardest to bring glory to God through my skills and knowledge.

    Please St. Joseph continue to intercede on behalf of all workers who are seeking good, honest employment. Please allow us workers to bring greater glory to your Son Jesus’ Name through our skill and craftsmanship and our love and devotion to our families and our vocations.

    I love you, St Joseph; your Son Jesus and our Blessed Mother Mary and trust in God’s Divine Will

    Amen

    • Chris,

      I have been praying for your special intention. I am inspired by your love for St. Joseph and your trust in him. He will always lead you closer to Jesus whom he loves so much.

      Sr. Kathryn

  760. Sister Kathryn
    I hope you are well. Would you kindly remember my sister, Mary, who has to go to the IRS offices tomorrow and she is so afraid – she doesn’t want them to seize her bank accounts as she has been a little late in paying some of her taxes. She has a good heart and always I ask St Joseph to watch over all my sisters but especially Mary as she sometimes doesn’t know the love and mercy of God – I am 3000 miles away from her and all I can do this evening is send a pray to beloved Joseph. Also, I will ask my guardian angel to accompany her. Is that ok to do? I wish you well and always remember you in my prayers.
    Julie

    • Dear Julie,

      I just noticed your post. How is your sister? I am praying that things go miraculously well for both of you.

      I have asked Sr. Sharon to pray especially for this. She hasn’t been feeling well lately so can’t answer the prayer requests. But she is now our official prayer partner for ALL the requests!

      I will join you in prayer.
      Sr. Kathryn

  761. Please pray for my brother, Nathan who is having extremely serious complications with his transplant recovery. He is currently on a ventilator and is battling a serious infection along with Graft Vs Host. Please pray for strength, courage, healing, recovery, and his wife along with all the doctors and nurses.

    • Charis,

      You must be so worried about your brother and his family. I will join you in prayer to St. Joseph. There is a sister personally dedicated to praying for intentions on this blog, Sr. Sharon. Know she is praying for you.

      Sr. Kathryn

    • Peace.

      St. Joseph must have prepared alot for his own wedding day to Mary who was the Mother of God. He certainly understands your desires for this day to be very special. I will join you in prayer.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  763. Please pray for my husband and I to find a house we love and can afford. We are in a bidding war for a house we like. We hope they accept an offer we can afford.

    Thank you!

  764. Sr Kathryn
    May I please ask your continued prayers for me and my family. My youngest sister and her husband are in the midst of foreclosure on their home. Her husband lost his job and they had to relocate to Georgia but were trying to save their home here and come back. I keep saying that God has a plan and that good St Joseph will protect us all as he did for beloved Mary and Jesus. As God sees things we don’t see, I must trust that His great love will show them the way.
    Thank you for being my inspiration and feeding my faith. Julie

    • Julie,

      I have discovered at the ripe old age of 47 that indeed God has plans for our lives and that he is reliable. At the same time there are the plans of others on this planet which are not always for our good. But as we see from the cross and resurrection, it is always the love of God that holds us even in the midst of devastation and pain. I will join you in prayer for your sister and her husband that they will see the Lord walking with them as they go.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  765. Please pray for my family- we are grandparents raising 3 small grandchildren that we have had for 4 years now. We are finally at a point in our life that we have relocated, found jobs and now have decided to buy a home so that we might have a stable place to call home. We are just waiting for the loan approval which should be any day now and I pray that it is Gods will that it is accepted and we are able to move into it soon. It is not an elaborate home, just a modest, simple place that the children can grow in and my husband and I can grow old in.
    Thank you

  766. Please pray that my brothers will talk to each other, they have always stopped talking due to money and trust issues. Please pray that we can buy my brothers house that he is losing and that God give us favor and we will qualify to get the house without a co-signer. That one day I can go to The Holy Land and to The Vatican. I need help with being motivated everyday to not waste my days and start cleaning up my clutter. I sometimes suffer from depression and I feel my life is boring and a routine…I am a stay at home mother with two boys. I need a good renter for a vacant apartment and that all our apartments always stay rented so we don’t worry about all the bills we owe or of loosing them. For peace of mind. For Concepcion Palacios (my aunt) who has bone cancer and has problems walking and has problems in her marriage. For my cousin Marcos Flores who committed suicide.
    Thank you.

  767. Sister can you please pray for our elderly parents, who are also caregivers. pray for my husband at a young age he has very bad aches/joint pains/hep c…….he will be going through treatment for the next year, pray for him that this treatement works and he may live a long and health life. if i may also ask to pray for us as we have been trying to have children for the last 4-5years…..we would love to be parents and given the chance to give birth to healthy/beautiful children.
    thank you

  768. hello sr kathryn,
    News about my mammogram wasnt good. Iam going to mass. I hope the cancer hasnt spread and that i wont need to have my breast cut out and it will go away with living water and jesus precious blood. Please help me, pray with me, to the heavenly father and st joseph and mary, our mother. I will see a specialist in five days.

  769. Dear Sister: Please continue praying for me that I find employment,as well as a new place to live. I pray that I will earn to live each one day at a time like Saint Joseph.

    God bless all of you!!! IT AD JOSEPH

    • Blessings,

      St. Joseph will stand by you to be strong during these months of waiting and trying to find employment. Do not be afraid to tell him exactly what you need.

      In Christ,
      Sr. Kathryn

  770. Sister, I am a 52 year old male who struggles with prostate issues. Less and less time between when ok and then when it really is painful Regular use of an act that is considered a sin by the Church is the only way to really resolve this issue. I confess but get no real guidance. Not sure I understand why such restriction if it is a choice between no pain and physical pain. I just don’t think the GOd I believe in wants anyone to be in pain if they can do something to relieve it. Prayed to St Joseph as instructed by my confessor but no real answer. I am stuck. I have struggled for years with my faith and this may be the reason I find another religion. I can’t believe there aren’t other Catholic men who don’t struggle with this as we. Similar to women and birth control. Please advise. Thanks

  771. Sr. Kathryn: May I once again ask for prayers, for my mother who passed five months ago today and for my ability to cope with her loss; for the successful and peaceful resolution of her financial and property concerns – in particular for the division of adjoining properties and the necessary easements, that it will go well with no conflict from brother/spouse. I beg St. Joseph to aid me. Thank you.

  772. My room mates are leaving in March without giving a care about what is going to happen to me, I don’t have money saved up to move out on my own yet so now I have no home as of the end of next month, I have struggled for so long to get to where I am in life, I got clean and sober 1/1/12 and remained that way, I don’t want to use or drink or do any of the negative things that come along with that, but now I find myself ending up homeless at the end of February, please ask St. Joseph to please remove all obstacles from my way so I can find a home by March 1st, I am really scared I will end up on the streets, Please help me

    • Efrain,

      Have courage. Joseph too probably was afraid at times in front of the things that happened in life. You can’t change them. But you can change yourself and the way you approach them. I will ask him to help you be strong.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  773. Pray that Bob and I finally become committed as a family continuing on our spritual journey together and that all negative influences are removed from his life and that God gives him the courage to look deep within himself. I thank you God, Jesus Christ and the Blessed Mother for hearing this pray, too through St. Joseph.

    • Agnes,

      May Joseph bring you both courage and wisdom as you contemplate this commitment. He worried too at the beginning of his marriage, and worked with Mary to create a beautiful environment for the formation of the child who was the Son of God. Life for all of us is work, if we wish to live it well. Joseph teaches us this. May he help you always.

      Sr. Kathryn

  774. St. Joseph thank you so much for interceding on my behalf that i will be interviewed in February by Saudi Aramco. Please continue to intercede on my behalf that I do well in the interview and receive the job offer. I thank you, our Blessed Mother and Jesus for all of your help. Please see this through to the end for me.

    hello sr kathryn,
    i hope im not annoying you, by writting in all the time. if iam. please let me know. i had a lump in my breast last september which went away. however just before christmas last year it came back. im going for a mammogram and maybe a biopsy. and im really scared. will you pray for me.
    thankyou and God bless

    Sonya, It is good that you are having the mammogram now and taking care of this right away. As a two time breast cancer survivor please know that I am also praying for you. Hugs going out to you.
    Dani MarieBernadette

    • Thankyou dani marie, my entire breast is swell up and lumpy and tender. it hasnt gone away. Ive been praying ‘ Eternal Father, in jesus name, heal my breast.. Ask and you will recieved ‘
      I know nothing is impossible to God, however, God is God. I really dont know if i got the strenght to go wherever this will take me.
      I havent talk to anyone about this, but coming here is helping to keep my fears away. could you tell me how you and what you did?
      Thankyou and God Bless you Dani

      • Sonya, Believe me girlfriend when I say you definitely have the strength to go through wherever this will take you. When it seems like there just isn’t enough of your own strength then just ask Jesus to share some of His with you and believe that He will. I promise it will be there. My doctor explained to me that the number one cause of cancer was stress so I made up my mind to stay as stress free as possible. I took some time off of cleaning the house and worrying about trying to have the perfect life and realized I had the perfect life for me. I did everything I could to remove the things or people who create stress in my life. I went to God the Father and sincerely apologized for any and every sin I have ever committed and I believed He was forgiving me. I forgave every person in my life who had hurt me in any way. Then I forgave myself for everything I had done in my life that was not good or worthy of God’s love. Finally I made up my mind to have a grateful heart from that day forward.
        From morning to night I would thank Him for everything in my life including the cancer. I came to realize that we cannot go through life expecting only the good to touch our life when the bad also has a purpose in our salvation plan.
        I watched movies that made me laugh or cry and the same with the books I read. We need to do both in times of crisis. They are both natures way of releasing stress. I prayed for the Doctors, Nurses, technicians, office personnel, and the other people that I didn’t know who needed strength or were going through their own tragedy.
        I bought myself a gift. I went out and bought a beautiful picture for my home. It was one I had long wanted and never thought I could afford it. I realized I deserved something nice. Sonya, I am praying for you please let me know how you are doing and if you need to vent or someone to talk to just email me @ mariebernadette1948@yahoo.com
        God Bless you

    • Hi maria, when my husband and i have argue. what i find helps our situation is praying to mary to myself over and over ‘ sorrowful and immaculate heart of mary, pray for us ‘ ‘ sorrowful and immaculate heart of mary, pray for us. And always mary has been there for me. Mary was always and is always there. usually things are better no more than a day later. Like a ointment on our marriage.
      ‘ sorrowful and immaculate heart of mary, pray for maria ines and her family ‘
      This pray lead me to a love for mary, our mother.

    • Maria,

      I too know what it was like to have desperate and depressed thoughts, to be in a situation that seemed hopeless. You sound scared also, perhaps, because there are great problems, and so much that could be lost. I will pray to St. Joseph for you that somehow in his powerful and protecting presence he can bring you peace of heart. Keep me posted.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  778. Dear Sisters, I am asking you to pray for me. I lost my job 5 years ago and i would love to work at the Pauline Bookstore here in Lisbon. I already sent my curriculum vitae to them, but it is being difficult… PLEASE, can you help me? Thank you so much. May God bless you all.

    • Sharon,

      Purchasing a home is a great step into the unknown, but it can be a blessed step if you are accompanied by the tender and protecting love of St. Joseph. I will pray for you to this great Saint.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  779. I Thank you Sister for that you do in the name of Our Lord through the intercession of Saint Joseph. My life isn’t where I want it right now, but I am grateful for what I have. IT AD JOSEPH.

      • Sr Kathryn
        I am so glad you are back. Missed you – humbly trusting in God and the direction of St Joseph for all our needs and those who have no one to pray for them. I wish I could do something for you to thank you for your continued encouragement but all I have are prayers and that I will joyfully do for you! I know that God is using you to reach out to all His people.

        Julie

  780. Please I ask for help. Please Pray for my unborn baby I fear the medication that I took before finding out I was pregnant may have harmed my baby. I love and want his child and I don’t ever want this child to suffer. Please pray that he or she will be born healthy please I am beginning you. Please St. Joseph hear my cries. With love.

    • Maria,

      Mary and Joseph understand deeply your anguish as a parent. I will join you in prayer that your child will be all that God’s dream for him or her is.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

    • Maria,
      My daughter was on high dosages of anti depressant medication for Bipolar disorder when she found out she was pregnant and was terrified it would affect the baby. The doctor said to take a walk along a busy street and notice all the women and children walking by…he said you will notice that almost all of them are normal so do not waste a moment worrying about this unborn baby. My parents always said “If you are going to pray do not worry because to worry speaks to a lack of faith.” Spend the rest of your pregnancy doing everything possible to be healthy and happy because a positive attitude does have an effect on babies in the womb. God Bless you and your child Maria, my prayers are with you. .

  781. Sister Kathryn,
    Thanks to your prayers, I must tell you that St Joseph did quite a miraculous thing for me and my family – just around Christmas. I did novena prayer to St.Joseph as you said. And just like St.Joseph was looking out for shelter around this time with Mary and baby Jesus at Christmas time, same thing He has blessed us with a appropriate house. We are all very happy and excited to shift. We are going to install His statue in our alter. We will continue to pray for our family and those who are in need – thank you so much and may God keep you safe in His heart.
    Miracles do happen and St Joseph is so kind.I have patiently waited at His door what God unfolds and you helped me with that. Thank you so much.
    – Jordan Dias

  782. Please pray for me, I was laid off recently and sincerely desire an interview next month with a company overseas. I would like the opportunity to share my gifts of skill and knowledge, by the Grace of God, to bring greater glory to God. Please St. Joseph, Patron of All Workers, intercede for me and others who have recourse to you for good, honest work that brings glory to your dear infant son, Our Lord Jesus, and your Blessed Spouse, Mary whom all Christians love.

    thank you for your time and the requests of others here will be in my intentions when I pray as well

  783. My apologies for yet another contact. I am feeling very despairing – feelings of grief, failure are becoming more intense; worry about the future and of potential situations with sibling/family seem insurmountable; now work situations have taken a turn downward. I am filled with anxiety and don’t know what to do. I beg St. Joseph to intercede for me…I feel so alone. Thank you.

    • Hi, Jim,

      I will pray for you. Sometimes, however, God works miracles through the help of others. I am wondering if reaching out to someone near you to talk about what you are experiencing would help you gain strength and courage. I will pray that you find someone to help you.

      Sr. Kathryn

    • Hi Jim,
      I have a suggestion to help you recover from your anxieties, depression, despair and fear of failure. Check with your local men’s shelter, hospital, nursing home, your food pantry or your church and see if there is anything you can volunteer to do to help others who are also having problems. I have found that to be a huge help in my own life. When we are busy helping others somehow we stop looking at our own circumstances and we begin to heal and become whole.
      I am praying for you Jim

  784. Sister
    You must have been praying for me, I called Unemployment to verify the expiration and after a while, they told me I had several weeks left! Thank you and St. Joseph. Hopefully in this time, I can find work or do what He wants me to do, and follow where He leads me. Sometimes I wonder how God could love me with all my flaws and I get embarrassed that by my humanness – it’s powerful to have Him love you seeing you in all you do – I guess it’s practicing the presence of God? I am continuing to learn….I must confess that several years ago when I was in New York City, there was a church that I used to frequent. It had a huge crucifix and a kneeler underneath it. One day, I put my hand on His feet and felt the nails but oddly one was loose. I took it out, Sister, I couldn’t bear to have it in His foot and couldn’t bear to put it back in….how He’s not mad at that….anyway…I will continue my prayers and remember you and the community and all those who ask for Joseph’s help. Good night.

    • Julie,

      So good to hear this news. I will pray that you find a way to move forward in peace and dignity. I am sure Jesus sees only the love in your heart. Have courage.

      Sr. Kathryn

      • Sister Kathryn
        Thanks to your prayers, I must tell you that St Joseph did quite a miraculous thing for me and my family – being four months behind on mortgage payments and in fear of foreclosure- at the eleventh and a half hour – my sister came from California and was able to make the payments for us. The escrow she had (she is a real estate agent) finally went through a few days ago – I wanted to reach out and tell you and now that St Joseph has my deep devotion, I will continue to pray for my family and those who are in need – thank you thank you and may God keep you safe in His heart. Miracles do happen and St Joseph is so kind. These months I have learned to wait patiently dor what God unfolds and you helped me with that, Julie

      • Julie!

        I can hear your relief and gratitude right through my computer. I will join you in gratitude, as we stay before God as children, simple, trusting, believing.

        Blessings,
        Sr. Kathryn

  785. Sister
    It is now 9 pm and my sisters all spoke and laughed and I believe in my heart it was a gift from St Joseph – perhaps God Himself….I will continue to believe that He will help me and my family through our financial struggles and keep our homes and lead us in the right way. If He entrusted Jesus and Mary to Joseph, I should take strength from that. Bless you and take good care. Julie

  786. Sister
    Merry Christmas and God bless you. I
    Went to mass today and asked St Joseph
    To heal my sisters toward one another. I
    Was so hoping for that today but God has
    His own timing. My unemployment has
    Expired. But I keep this in my heart and
    Share with you (sorry) and God believing with
    All that is within me to trust Him still. I
    Tell God I love Him everynight when I say
    Goodnight. But hope was born today and
    I am so happy you are back. Julie

    • Julie,

      I am so sorry to hear about your unemployment running out, but deeply edified by your faith. Faith is a hard thing, for it to be real it must be a risk…. Like Jesus dying on the cross, like God sending us his son as a baby…. God risked everything and so do we when we have faith. We have faith in each other, God and us. God will not, cannot, leave you alone. Let us pray together to St. Joseph.

      Sr. Kathryn

  787. My husband and I are separated from January 2011. He has filed a divorce case also. He was abusing to me and taken all my gold and money. But now I am trying for a reunion. But he is not interested. Please help me to save my marriage and lead a peaceful life.

    Please pray for me to get back my husband. Please change his mentality and make him to come back to me. I have lost my dad also after our marriage. Now my mom is also not feeling well. Please pray for me to get a peaceful life.

    • Christmas Blessings,

      There is much sadness for you this Christmas. We can turn to St. Joseph who amidst the joy of Jesus’ birth also had to deal with no room in the inn for his wife, rush off to Egypt to save Jesus’ life, etc. St. Joseph will understand the way you feel. Tell him the way you feel and your desire to open your life as he did to be a perfect instrument in God’s hands. He will always obtain this for you.

  788. I ask St. Joseph for the return of my husband to come back home and restore our marriage real soon. Please intercede to Jesus and Let God bestow this favor to me. Thank you

  789. Dear Sister,

    Please pray for us that we find a new home. I have MS and two small children (who are a blessing) and need a home that is more conducive to my condition. We want to move to a particular town because it is more of a community.
    We buried St. Joseph in a ceremony in our yard and our house sold in a week’s time. When everyone told us we could not because of the time of year and we still made a profit.

    Thank you,

    MaryAnne
    P.S.
    Please also pray for those who have my condition. I am grateful to God that I was diagnosed in a time where there is medicine and hope.

  790. Dear Sister

    I am in urgent need for St Joseph to assist me. My health is not good.
    I do pray to him everyday. I am a sinner, but to live by the commandments. Thankyou for responding to my call.

    Damian

    • Damien,

      St. Joseph is not afraid of urgent matters, because he had to deal with them often in his life. The first was urgently to get up and leave Bethlehem over night before Herod’s soldiers arrived. St. Joseph doesn’t look on you as a sinner, as you called yourself. He sees you as his own dear child, as Jesus himself. Joseph will impart to you courage and strength in your journey, just as he did to Jesus. He couldn’t take away the pain of Jesus’s life, but he taught him how to trust God’s love for him. This is the treasure he also wishes to give you. God is trustworthy!

      I will pray for you and with you,
      Sr. Kathryn

      • Dear Sister K,

        I have faith in St Joseph and ST Andre Bessette. I require their intercession. I know you are over-burnded with prayer requests, but please ask St Andre Bessette-whom never fails through the intercession of St Joseph to heal me of a neurologicial disorder, and to regain my employment. Ite Ad Joseph,
        Thankyou Sister. St Joseph never known to fail (St Tereas of Avlia)

      • Damian,

        I will pray for you. I have suffered from a neurological illness myself. Healing is a gradual trial and error movement toward the wholeness that is possible for us. For me, St. Joseph and Sr. Therese helped me with people, books, alternative modalities, doctors over many years. I know they will do the same for you.

        Blessings,
        Sr. Kathryn

  791. Dear sister. I live in Portugal, near Lisbon. I lost my job 5 years ago. I used to work in a bookstore. My biggest dream is to work in a Pauline bookstore. I pray to St Joseph to help me get a job in the Pauline bookstore in Lisbon. I love books and i love working in a bookstore. Please, can you pray for me? I want to work there so much… Thank you for your prayers.

  792. Sister Kathryn and Sister Sharon

    Just wanted to say that I will remember you when I pray and all those who call out to St Joseph. Tomorrow is my mass in thanksgiving to him for taking me and my family under his protection. Although there are still dilemmas and situations, I will keep praying and asking for guidance and hope. I think of how deeply he must have loved Mary that when he found her with child, not yet knowing Who it was, he didn’t want her to stoned to death, he thought to help her somehow and take her as his wife and quietly divorce her – I am a pale comparison to Mary but I cherish his protection all the more.
    Have a good weekend and thanks for all you do.

    Julie

    • Sister
      Tough weekend but I said my rosary to St Joseph this morning and asked for help and strength for what the day brings. My family tells me of facing reality and that we are going to lose the house, we have no money. I listened to angry conversations full of hopelessness but kept praying in my heart and I was for a while beginning to doubt and feel afraid. I prayed for them last night asking God to help them. May I speak the word of Mary, most holy, when she said Yes to God not knowing what would happen. So will you whisper a pray for me and my family. Thank you so much. Julie

      • Julie,

        You are living with so much faith. St. Joseph will protect you wherever you go always, just as he took care of Mary. Angry and hopeless conversations drain us of faith and courage. But I also think we need to be honest that faith is hard, this faith that trusts implicitly when everything is going wrong. I have noticed that in these days this is the faith that is being called for. It is the faith at which St. Joseph excelled. We can have courage even as we are afraid and worried. Trust can live together with doubt. The doubt makes the faith grow stronger, because it needs to try harder, to call out louder to God for assistance.

        Let us pray for each other and do keep in touch,
        Sr. Kathryn

  793. Sister,

    It is hard for me to not be scrupulous in the midst of my anxieties of life at present. I continue to struggle , even though praying for guidance. It is hard not to feel as if I am being “punished”.
    I have been a more regular receipient of the Sacrament of Reconciliation but seem to still feel like I am an God’s “bad” graces. I will confess/discuss this with the priest the next time but would like your help.

    Thanks.

    Paul

    • Dear Paul,
      It is so good to hear from you. And to see your great good will to turn to God in prayer and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Confession and receiving Jesus in the Eucharist are infinitely powerful in keeping close to God. I encourage you to continue going to Jesus in these gifts he has given us. God’s greatest joy is to pour out His mercy upon all of us. When you confess your sins in confession and receive the absolution, you have God’s Word that your sins are forgiven. Jesus came not to condemn us but to SAVE us. And he is Love and Mercy. He runs to meet you AND EMBRACE YOU AS A BELOVED son with his healing grace. Also, God has given you a compassionate, consoling Mother–the Blessed Mother–who comforts us in our trials. When troubled, pray to Mary to bring you to Jesus. If it is not a burden for you say the rosary with love and trust and ask her to heal your scrupuls and to obtain for you the great gift of confidence in God. When afflicted with anxiety, Paul, just say a Hail Mary. She is Jesus is faithful to you. He has given us a great intercessor with Jesus. You are one of her beloved sons. She is the Mother of Mercy! Again, I will pray for you by name, to Jesus and Mary,and good St. Joseph in our Novena to St. Joseph which our community is praying this week.God’s tender love and abundant blessings be upon you.

  794. Thank you Sister Sharon (and Sister Kathryn)
    I will start the Novena – I have to say that I like the way St Joseph works – I got a call this afternoon from the IRS as I was behind on taxes asking for a lower payment as my resources are low and this representative was very kind and said that a lower payment would be fine. I never expected that. Not that smoothly. So, it makes me want to continue to give St Joseph all my big dilemmas – especially the mortgage and my sisters. But this call today encouraged me to call out to him all the more. I may not know how it will happen but he will not let us be put to shame – I hope Our Blessed Mother doesn’t mind me leaning on her husband. I will definitely pray during my novena for your community’s needs. He’s amazing.
    Julie

    • Julie,
      I think St. Joseph and the Blessed Mother are both pleased with your leaning on St.Joseph in trusting he will help provide for your family’s needs. He provided for his wife and Jesus and is the Guardian and protector of the Church and all her children.
      Thank you, Julie for your prayers for us.May you have a grace-filled Advent as the Church gives us this time to wait and watch in hope for the Coming of the Lord. You have this time to wait with Mary and Joseph and travel with them is spirit to greet the Lord in hope and joy. St. Paul encourages us to present our petitions to God with confidence and thanksgiving. God bless!

      Sr. Sharon Anne

  795. Sister
    My faith has become child-like for some reason. There are some big dilemmas that I’m facing, the house payments and possible acceleration to foreclosure, taxes, bills, sisters acting hopeless but the thought keeps coming to my mind, and when I dont get a bad call or mail I say, thank you God, another day to pray and if this was my last day on earth, I would pray for my family. I think of Lazarus and how everything in the natural was “dead” “no hope”….and then I think of that verse, “be anxious for nothing, but with supplication and thanksgiving…” Am I being too unrealistic, Sister? Thanks Julie

    • Julie,
      Faith and trust are gifts from God, and from you note, it seems to me that St. Joseph is obtaining for you a deeper trust in God. Faith’s fruits are good works and we are asked to do our best as God inspires us to do. When we have done our best for the love of God, he will do the rest. It seems to me that St. Joseph is fortifying your spirit with your child-like trust and hope. Keep praying as you are. Your love for your family touches the Heart of the Jesus and St. Joseph. God is faithful to his promises. He is watching over you with his loving Providence. A great consolation when things appear hopeless, is to read and pray with the Psalms.The Psalms are God’s Word and they speak to our hearts in every situation.These were Jesus’ prayers. May you find inspiration, comfort, and peace in them. Our Faith tells us that God is always with us and no matter what happens, the Lord does work all things out for our greater good and happiness for those who love Him. Our community is in the midst of a Novena to St. Joseph to ask his help for our community’s needs. I put your intentions in our prayers. Let us pray for one another. God bless you, Julie!

        Thank you for your words – can you send me a novena prayer to St Joseph that I may say. I took Sister Kathryn’s suggestion and have scheduled a mass to be said in thanksgiving to him – I got one for Dec 3rd. Can I say a rosary each day in his honor?
        Thanks!
        Julie

      • Dear Julie,
        You will find A Novena prayer to St. Joseph on this website by clicking on the word

          A Prayer

        on the home page side bar. I think is a beautiful prayer to have a Mass said in his honor in thanksgiving to St. Joseph. And your desire to pray a rosary each day in Joseph’s honor will be very pleasing to Our Blessed Mother and her husband.I join my prayers to yours in a special way December 3rd. And I will continue to pray for you in our weekly novena to Sr. Joseph. May God bless you!

        Sr. Sharon Anne

  796. Thank you Sister Sharon
    I am going to say a rosary for my sister Mary now who is in a desparate state and I can see through her anger and know she is in pain. I have given my family to Joseph and our situation and I know He will intercede for us and all those who call on him. I can’t turn back from praying – sometimes I think why am I at this place – that all I have left is Prayer but perhaps that is the greatest treasure – maybe I am supposed to realize that more and more – that that is not just all we have left – that is the best we have. If God wants me to take another step toward Him not sure of what comes next, then I must. I think He loves me a bit. My best to Sister Kathryn and this ministry that you have. It reaches many in untold ways – may your Thanksgiving be blessed. Always, Julie

    • God bless you, Julie! Your words of faith and witness to God’s love have touched me as well. We help to build up one another in the Church through the prayers and intercession of St. Joseph who has helped us all. I prayed for all in a particular way yesterday with the chaplet to St. Joseph. You are correct in saying the gift of prayer is a means to receive the treasure of treasures–Jesus! And this gifts of prayer and faith come from God our Father who cares for all his children and of all creation. May your Thanksgiving be a moment of serene hope and rest in your trials and a wonderful occasion to praise God for all gifts given to you. God loves you and yours and is with you and all your loved ones. God bless! Happy Thanksgiving!

      Sr. Sharon

  797. Good morning Sister,
    I ask your prayers for my sisters as they are becoming so negative – everything out of their mouths is so toxic in a way, Sister. When I put down the phone, I just begin to pray for them. They ridicule that I continue to pray saying what has God done for my life and say look no job, no money….I pray because God said to pray for those that hurt you. I realize they may be in pain after losing our mom but I chose to rely on God and trust Him even if I do not know my next step. And I thank God that you and your prayers have helped me to achieve this. I am going to wait on Him no matter what. Julie

    • Dear Julie! You certainly are a prayer warrior! May God continue to build you up in faith and trust and in the strength of his love. You are a beloved daughter of God in whom he delights; he is faithful to you and will not fail to bless you for your trust in his providence. Make your petitions known to Our Father in all things, with thanksgiving. Through St. Joseph’s intercession, God is showering you with spiritual gifts which last forever. He will also provide what you need for body and soul. St. Paul says that our present sufferings cannot be compared to the reward–eternal joy–where there will be no more tears or suffering. Believe God will not permit your sufferings to be beyond your strength.Turn often to the Scriptures–the Gospel, the Letters of St. Paul for nourishment and sustenance in your trials. Scripture is the source of all perseverance and comfort. And most of all go to go to Jesus to through yourself into his embrace in the Eucharist. God bless, Julie, and know we are praying for you and all who are in need.

      With Love,
      Sr. Sharon (assistant to Sr. Kathryn)

  798. Sister,
    Can you pray to St. Joseph for all of my intentions. Mary and Joseph already know what is going on and the urgency of it. i thank you for praying for me…gr

    • Dear Friend, I am on my way to our chapel to make a holy hour of adoration. I will remember you and all your intentions to dear St. Joseph in a novena prayer. God bless you!

      Sr. Kathryn

  799. Hi Sr. Kathryn! I happened to open your site this morning. It’s wonderful! I forwarded it to my grand daughter who was on fb with me last PM. Her friend, Lori, just called crying and needing her friend to listen to her troubles of which she has several. Please pray for powerful St. Joseph to intercede for Lori in her time of need. Of course, my husband and I who are members of the Holy Family Institute are praying for Lori, also.
    Pray for my cousin Lois who had a special kind of heart pacemaker installed yesterday that her recovery will be fast and that Lois will have good health. Lois was my maid of honor at my wedding 47 years ago.
    Asking blessings on you and all of the FSP at this Thanksgiving time of year. Love, In Jesus, Our Divine Master,

  800. I apologize for my frequent requests. I seem to be struggling, weighed down by fears-worries-anxieties over the loss of my mother; a desire to have a better relationship with sibling/family with conflict; a resolution to estate matters peacefully and successfully; for resolution of grief and feelings of having failed my mother as her caregiver. My days are distracted by all these thoughts and my sleep is restless with worries and thoughts.

    • Dear Jim, There is hope! Turn to Jesus and “cast your cares upon him because he has care for you!” St. Joseph and the Blessed Mother will lead you to Jesus. Jesus works through other people as well. Ask St. Joseph to increase your gift of prayer which you do have already; Prayer will bring you comfort; Jesus is our hope. Perhaps you might want to turn to a priest in your parish to guide you in seeking counsel in your pain. Jesus knows your pain and suffering and clasps you to his heart which is so full of mercy. He also gave you the protection and comfort of a mother in the Blessed Mother who also holds you in her embrace. Beg the Blessed Mother and dear St.Joseph to be a mother and father to you. I will continue to pray for you. God bless you! Here is a little prayer you can use each day: “Gentle Father of the Holy Family, be mindful of my needs and those of my family. Gather us in loving each other with Jesus and Mary. This I ask in Jesus’ name.

  802. Sister
    I have another interview for a temporary job on Friday at Noon and its across the street from St Joseph’s church. I think I will stop by there and ask for his intercession if I am meant to have this job and if not, then I will take a deep breath and go on. I did as you suggested and am having a mass said in his honor. Sister, when we surrender our problems to God does that mean we should not pray about them every day? Thanks for your insight. Be well. Julie

    • Julie, I will be praying for you that St. Joseph will guide your interview on Friday. You are open to whatever God will do for you and you are praying with perseverance and hope. These are beautiful attitudes of a disciple of Jesus. In answer to your question it seems to me it is good to pray about your problems every day with confidence God will help us. What struck me right now is how Jesus taught us in the “Our Father”… give us

        this day, our daily bread.

      St. Paul also encourages us to present our petitions to God with confidence and trust, with thanksgiving. Elsewhere St. Paul says to pray without ceasing.Prayer is pouring our hearts out to our Father who loves us unconditionally and is compassionate and merciful. In the liturgy of the Eucharist after the Our Father we pray to be free from all anxiety. God has and will provide for his children.And God gives us the strength to carry on; He gives perseverance and comfort through his Word and sacraments.You are in good hands. God bless you as you hold on to hope.

      Sr Sharon for Sr. Kathryn

  803. Please pray that I find work soon,so I can.keep food on my table for my daughter a.i have a cna licene, just acquired, and no one is wiling to give me a chance.please pray for me. Thank you.

    • Dear Friend,
      I and we here on this blog will pray for you to good St. Joseph for your special intention. He is powerful in his connection to Jesus whom he loved as a son. And Jesus still honors him as his father who is the dispenser of the treasures of grace poured out from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Jesus blesses those who honor St. Joseph with their faith-filled prayers. Have confidence and even “thank God ahead of time”. God want to give us what is best for us, what is to our best interests here and in heaven. God bless you!

    • Praying for you to find a job. Check the Nursing Homes and also the private homeless shelters that house the mentally ill or physically handicapped. Very often they are in need of good CNA’s.
      Sometimes families advertise to find a CNA who can stay the nights with their elderly family member, rather than have them in a nursing home, and they pay pretty good. God Bless You

  804. Thank you, Sister Kathryn.for your prayers. Trying hard to be at peace. Having tough times spiirtually and emotionally, Just hate that I can’t seem to find answers to my situation. I pray to St Joseph, St. Dymphna, St Jude, St. Timothy, and to Mary for intercession constantly. It is a lonely battle and it is discouraging. I get mad at God that I can’t hear an answer to my anxieties and fears. Please continue to pray for me. Thanks for all you do.

    • Dear Paul,
      May St. Joseph lead you to a moment of pause in your day, (perhaps in the morning before the day begins, of before you fall asleep) and
      just take three deep breaths and repeat slowly three or four times the words “Jesus is with me, and I am with Jesus. Jesus, your are my peace.”
      Jesus is in you and when you rejoice he rejoices with you. When you cry in your suffering, Jesus himself suffers with you “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said, “I am with you. Come to me weary one and heavily burdened, and I will refresh you.”
      I will continue to pray for you in my novena to St. Joseph.

    Sorry I just needed your prayers today – they disconnected my phone and my car payment is late and I so need the phone for looking for a job. The bills are making me anxious and I have so little right now in the bank. Please will you pray for me and perhaps God will listen to you and send assistance soon. I just get discouraged – the human part of me. Sorry to trouble you.
    Julie

    • Dear Julie,
      As I read your urgent request for prayers i ask dear St. Joseph to hasten to your side. Your faith is being strengthened as the reading of yesterday (or today) I can not remember right now what day, but the Book of Wisdom encourages the faithful to persevere in their trials for having been tried a little, they will receive great good. The faithful who trust in God will understand truth and abide with God in love. It also says that this is so because grace and mercy are upon his holy ones as he watches over us, cares for us his children. The thought occurred to me just now that perhaps God is asking you to reach out to a neighbor or friend or someone in great need also and serve that person in whatever way you can, doing this in honor of St. Joseph. Turn to St. Joseph, cry out to God! God is faithful to us and loves our confidence, “hoping against hope”. Your prayer will be answered in God’s time. Courage!

      Sr. Kathryn

      • Your words, Sister, mean the world to me. As if God is speaking through your written word. I know somehow He is with me and Joseph is also. I just get a little lost at times or overwhelmed but I talk to Him all the day long in my heart – He is my constant – Actually I did what you had suggested and brought some food for someone. I am going to continue step by step and wait for His guidance and provision. If I can go and get bird food as it is cold and I want them to eat, I know He will take care of me and all those in the world. Thank you and Good Night, dear friend.

      • God bless you, dear Julie! He is blessing you with love, patience, and childlike confidence in him. He is definitely with you and giving you the grace to carry your cross with courage and peace. May you continue to find your peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. St. Joseph is obtaining all this grace with his powerful intercession. I continue to pray for you. Thank you for your witness to Christ Crucified and Risen!. St. Paul urges us to rejoice always, in thanksgiving for everything in each moment. Heavenly joy awaits us and begins here on earth. God Bless!

        Sr. Kathryn

      • Sister
        I must tell you that indeed St Joseph is helping me – we had a very bad snow storm with high winds end of October. I had placed St Joseph in the bay window and asked that he protect this house. That night the limbs of trees,heavy with snow, began to crack and fall. All night long, this happened. In the morning, there were five trees that had fallen in the backyard missing the house by a few feet. Thousands and thousands lost power but this house did not. I remember asking St Joseph how would I clear all this and worried but left it in his hands. I was told it would cost $1200-$2000 and money as you know was an issue for me. My mom knew a young man who would come and clear the snow for her and his name was Joseph. Well, he came and cleared the trees and then said he would only charge $100. So how could I not believe that he took care of me?
        How good it feels to know he is watching over me and I can give all my problems so he can give me wisdom. Bless you Sister for fostering this belief in me all the more. Julie

      • Julie, I rejoice with you for the blessings St. Joseph is obtaining for you and how Our Heavenly Father is comforting you in and through the every day events of your life. One day at a time, one small step in the present moment in God’s presence. God bless you!

        Sr Kathryn

  806. Sister
    They notified me by email that they are looking for someone with more experience but I think perhaps St Joseph has something else planned for me. So I won’t be discouraged but keep hoping and praying.

    • Dear Julie, keep up your courage and trust; it will be rewarded as God’s plan unfolds according to his loving providence. Today, the first Wednesday of the month which we dedicate to St. Joseph, I prayed the novena prayer and our chaplet to St. Joseph for you and all prayer requests. Yesterday, we posted a new reflection on St. Joseph’s patience….God bless!

      Sr. Kathryn

  807. Sister
    I will have a mass said for St Joseph – I want to thank him for taking us on….I have another job interview tomorrow at 11am at the children’s hospital – I am a bit nervous as they also do a credit check but I am going to give it my best and if I get the job then it is what St Joseph has prepared for me. If not, then he must have another plan for me to save my home and provide for my family. Thanks a million times for your kindness and all the prayers you make. I hope one day I can donate something to your favorite charity. Bless you. Julie

    • Hi Julie!

      I am so excited for you! Goodluck on your job interview and I will pray for you, again you are right, if its God’s will then St. Joseph will surely help you land the job.

      My prayers for you and your family, as I am going through a rough road too, aside from God and all the saints and all true friends and people like you whom I barely know makes it a lot more easier for me to hang on.

      I am delayed in my house rent for months, I barely make ends meet and I am not sure if I can go home to my kids for Christmas but I am hoping, still hoping some more that everything will be settled in His time.

      Goodluck and a blessed All Saints Day to all of us, as I am writing this, I am also saying a little prayer to my dad who passed away six years ago. I miss him so much but I know that like St. Joseph, he doesn’t stop caring for us.

      Riezl

      • When my say my rosary tonight I will pray for you I promise. I have gained so much from Sister’s words and this website. I will ask God to provide a way for you to go home at Christmas – I am behind too on house payments but have to trust that God sees things we don’t see and He knows – like Sister says, we have to trust and believe.
        So tonight be assured that somewhere in this world, someone is praying for you. Many are.

      • Sister
        It went well so your prayers helped me. I will wait to hear from them.
        It would be working in a children’s hospital which I did years and years ago. So I will leave in St Joseph’s hands and continue to believe that God will provide. Thank you so much for all you have done for me.
        Julie

  808. Sister you are too kind to me. What can I do for St Joseph what can I do to thank him for taking me and my family under his care. Should I have a mass said? What would please him do you think. I prayed for you as promised. Julie

    • Julie, I think having a Mass said would please St. Joseph very much because it is the celebration of God’s love for us all; it is the most powerful prayer we can offer in thanksgiving and praise. Eucharist means thanksgiving. Thank you so much for your promised prayers. They mean so much for me! Have a blessed feast of All Saints tomorrow. It’s the feast day of everyone! Oh how beautiful is the doctrine of the Communion of saints.
      God bless!
      Sr. Kathryn

  809. Hi Julie,
    You are very correct, its so hard not to become anxious especially when you have obligations to pay and no means of paying them. But thank you for including me too in your prayers, I am also praying for all of us this is the only thing that keeps me going and still hoping that tomorrow is still another day.
    God Bless you and your family.
    Riezl

    • Riezl
      Thank you – I don’t feel now I am making this journey alone. The only thing I have left to give is prayer – and no one to turn to but God but perhaps it is meant to be that way – I pray for my bills, I pray for the house, I pray for a job, a way – I pray for those who are also going this – so I wait and yes, get afraid but have to keep at it….Sister’s website helps an enormous amount – what did Jesus say? Where two or more are gathered? Well then, we are gathered in His name. I have to believe He loves us more than I can even conceive so have to get my eyes off the problem and on Him….not so easy in this world when the bills are piling up but we are gathered in His name. And we have Joseph and Sister. Be well.
      Julie

  810. Sister Kathryn
    Thanks for praying for me and my family during this time. I came upon a verse last night that read, “Be anxious for nothing, but my prayer and supplication make you needs known to God…” Perhaps He is trying to tell me something – although it is awfully hard not to be anxious looking at things in the natural – against all odds I must continue to pray….you must be praying for me because I am not as afraid as I was…
    Julie

    • Julie, I thought of you at prayer time before I went to bed and I entrusted you to St. Joseph’s fatherly care. Breathe in Jesus and exhale fear. Breathe in hope and exhale anxiety. These little words, repeated slowly has a very calming effect and dispose us to prayer and reflection and peace.
      May God bless you with an abundance of grace.

    Thank you in advance,

    • Dear Celine,
      May St. Joseph make his presence felt in your heart. He wants to draw you closer and closer to Jesus who is the Good Shepherd who has come to you in his compassion and tenderness. He comes bringing his saving grace, his presence. God alone can fill the void in our hearts. I will pray to St. Joseph and ask him to remind you during the day that Jesus is with you, right in your heart and by your side loving you mightily and and totally. Maybe you can take a few moments each day to pause and pray to Jesus to make you happy; perhaps you might approach him through this little prayer, “Jesus is with me and I am with Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. I’m not alone for you are with me, my God.” St. Joseph always answers our prayers. Courage, dear Celine. “St. Joseph helps us in life’s emergencies.” Oh Lord, through St. Joseph’s powerful prayers, come with haste to help Celine.” Amen. Find hope in this link. Just click on it and be uplifted.

  813. Dear St Joseph
    Bless this site and the Sisters who so kindly give us hope and strengthen our trust in you. May I humbly please bring myself, my family and all those who right now are in much turmoil to your heart – I know you are a loving and compassionate father and will help us because of your great love for Jesus and Mary. Sometimes we get frightened but you will lead us through the night and ask God to provide safe haven for us and open doors that seem closed. I ask in Jesus’ name. I do love you much. Amen.

  814. Kindly include me in your prayers Sr. Kathryn, I am in deep financial turmoil that I barely make ends meet. I am months delayed in my room rent, I am far away from home, I have tons of bills to pay without the means to pay them. I have been in this situation as early as March, company is in transition that all our benefits were either postponed or were not given to us. Its again the end of the month and I don’t know from where I will get the means to pay my bills. I am a single parent with two kids back home who rely on me for support. I don’t know what to do anymore, I’ve already lost a considerable amount of weight, its like every single minute of the day I think about my problems, I’ll go to sleep with the same problem, and when I wake up, it will start all over again. I have been praying to God to just give me another chance to start all over again but until now, I haven’t got any clue where to start. I want to hang on and cling to a sliver of hope that God will hear my pleas. I am not actually afraid for myself but for my kids, I am the only one they’ve got and if I will not be strong, to whom they will go. May St Joseph have mercy on me and bring my pleas to the Lord our God.

    • Riezl
      As I pray for myself and my family who are also experiencing financial hardships, I will pray for you and others are on this site now and i know that Sr Kathryn will also.

  815. Dear Saint Joseph:

    it has been 8 months looking for a job and still nothing. Have mercy on me as I wish to regain/restart my life. I am thankful for one year sober, but it is difficult for me to live in prolonged proverty

      • Dear Joseph Gerard,
        You have a great patron saint who inspired your cry for help. St. Joseph helps in our efforts to find our way. St.Joseph always leads us to Mary and Jesus. Confide, trust in his intercession. Perhaps this little prayer I found addressed to St. Joseph will open the door to hope for you. I prayed it to St. Joseph for you today: Here is the prayer: “Man of God, St. Joseph, you are a faithful son of the Heavenly Father; you are the wise guardian of the Word made flesh; obedient servant of the Holy Spirit. Be to me a father and friend; teach me to honor and reverence Jesus the Bread of Life,” and the Blessed Virgin Mary. May I give this honor to them with my thoughts, will, love of my heart and chastity of body. Gentle father of the Holy Family, be mindful of my needs and those of my family. I ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

    • Dear Anonymous, Greetings in the love of Jesus! You are beloved of God and he wants to bless you through St.Joseph’s intercession. May good St. Joseph be a father and friend to you and hear your plea for help. God is so pleased with your effort to be sober and to struggle to trust in him.St. Joseph has never failed anyone especially the poor and the afflicted who have no other means of help. He always answers the prayers of his devotees and obtains for them from God whatever is in our best interests spiritually and materially. St. Joseph and Jesus and Mary know what living in great poverty means. Be comforted in knowing and believing St Joseph helps in life’s emergencies. I have just prayed to St. Joseph for you and will remember you in my on-going novena on Wednesdays. And all of us on this blog will be praying for you also. You are not alone! God is with you. God is so pleased with your prayer of trust.

  817. I am afraid! Never been very good at dealing with life’s anxieties. My mom is sick and I am trying to deal with the illness , care for her, and the fear of being by myself. I have family but they are scattered and I feel so lonely in this battle. Please, Sr. Kathryn, lift up my needs to St. Joseph.! I have prayed for answers my whole life and never seemed to be able to HEAR what God is telling me. My faith is dwindling… Thanks,
    Paul

    • Dear Paul, we feel your pain and have prayed to St. Joseph to come swiftly to help you in your necessities spiritual and materially. He will strengthen
      you. St Joseph has never failed in answering those who invoke his powerful intercession. He helps us to increase our dwindling faith and comforts us in our sorrows. He reminds us of the words of Jesus, “Do not be afraid; I am with you always” (MT 28:20) You have Jesus right at your side, dwelling also in your heart, just a breath away. Ask St. Joseph to ask Jesus to give you an experience of his presence. Wherever there is suffering, Jesus is there supporting you. I will pray for you this evening and in my on-going novena to St. Joseph. Courage! We also are with you in spirit and prayer.

  818. Please help us pray for James to be freed from his “bondage”. May he see God does have a way out for him. And may he be given the grace to see it for what it is and courage to walk away from it completely.

    • Dear AR, I will pray to St. Joseph strengthened by the faith and confidence of Teresa of Avila who said that those who pray to St. Joseph with trust and confidence have always received his powerful intercession. She experienced this herself as have so many countless people. We entrust James in a special way to the fatherly love and care of Joseph guardian and protector of God’s afflicted people. God bless you and James.

  819. Sister
    I just received a certified letter from bank as I am two months behind on mortgage – so I am a bit paniced. I do have a job interview on Tuesday but I do your prayers once again to trust God in this situation all the more. My leap of faith being that He will do the best for the situation at hand. Just a little shaky so am reaching out. Thank you.
    Julie

  820. Sister Kathryn
    I have an interview on Tuesday at 2:15 for a job – will you remember me in your prayers as I you? I asked St Joseph to lead me to the right job and even if it is not this one, I have to believe he will find one better. Thanks to you, I changed my “petition list” so to speak. Now I pray, God, do what you believe is best for me and my family”. It’s a big step for me. He sees things I don’t see and anyway, His plan has to be way better than mine, right? Thank you and good night. Julie

  821. I humbly ask for prayers once again. I am struggling. Please pray that I will make a good decision on 10-21-11 to divide a portion of my mother’s estate with sibling and that there will be no conflict or confrontation with my sibling and that it will be as my mother wished. Please pray that all family contacts from this point forward will be successful and peaceful. Thank you dear St. Joseph for your guidance with this and all estate concerns.

  822. Sr Kathyrn
    It is my pleasure to pray. I should tell you a story of good St Joseph. When my sister Bobbi was quite young they found a cyst on her kidney and she was scheduled to go into hospital to remove it. The Saturday before she woke up and asked my father to find a church of St Joseph as she a dream to go and see him. We all piled into the car and drove and drove. Then she saw the doors of this particular church and said that’s the one. She remembered the doors. We got closer and it was St Joseph’s church in Bristol ct. She marched up to the front and lit a candle and talked to St Joseph. She told me to light candles in front of the other saints in case they got jealous (she was little). So I did. When we left the church she said she was going to be ok. Well Monday at the hospital they took X-rays or a scan and the cyst was gone. When her doctor told her she told him her doctor cured her, St Joseph. So now we go to him again dear sweet St Joseph who loved my sister so.

  823. Sr, Kathryn,

    Please continue to pray for me and my mother. She has been battling a stomach illness. I am really struggling with my anxiety disorder. The care of her plus all the added responsibliities are wearing me down. I have also struggled to find my calling in life and my faith is waning. At 52 I feel like I have failed myself and others who gave me lots of opportunities. Prayer seems to bring no answers or relief. I continue to pray to God and St Dymphna fordirection and healing. Please add your voice to mine and also to St. Joseph. Thanks for listening and your support.

    Paul

  824. He took my St. Joseph prayers. You always answer my prayers. Please Protect the children and myself. Help us financially, with the house, vehicles, my job, visitation, divorce and my broken heart. I ask for you to come into my heart and fix it. I want my motivation and love back. I ask for ‘him’ to come into my life soon and to guide us to peace, love and happiness.

    • Peace.

      I will be praying with you that St. Joseph will support you in this very painful time in your life and provide for all your needs. Turn also to Mary who will understand the anxiety when relationships are strained. Blessings, Sr. Kathryn

  825. Sister
    I promise you that I shall pray for you all my life long until we meet at the top of the mountain so to speak. You are a gift come from God You are His hands His words reaching and touching all who visit. I will wait and see what happens for my family and pray for all on your site

  826. Sr. Kathryn.. My daughter Jackie’s husband is fast becoming a violent alcoholic. He used to be the nicest guy in the world but has been drinking non stop for a few months now. They have two children and my daughter is only 24 years old. They are still moving into their new apartment and he tore the place up tonight, got violent with her and then emptied their refrigerator with food flying all over the kitchen. The kids were even covered in ketchup. She grabbed the kids and put them in the car and drove off and came here. Please call on St. Joseph to intercede for this young family.
    Thank you… Dani MarieBernadette

    • Dear Dani MarieBernadette,

      I am so sorry for your daughter. My dear, it must be so frightening for her and for you! To be so young and have to deal with this. I will ask St. Joseph to take Jackie into his care and to protect her as he would protect Mary if anything were to happen to her. He would have given his life for her. I will begin praying tonight. May she be comforted by Mary’s presence in her life.

  827. Dear Sr Kathryn, please would you pray for us. We had to relocate to Belgium after my husband got work there. We do not have our own home and I am pregnant with our 7th child. My husband cannot really appreciate my need to be settled and hopefully near a church where i can feel spiritually at home and attend devotions when I can. (He is not very keen on the faith at present).It is hard to find a suitable home for our large family within our budget. I have managed to find one which we shall visit on 23/10/11. Would you pray that my husband wont get cross and will like the house and make an offer for it.I am also prayingnovenas to st martha, st joseph and st rita.I thank you most sincerely for your kind help.

    • Dear Nina,

      I cannot imagine what strain you must be under at this point, carrying a child and worrying about where you shall stay. It reminds me of Mary and St. Joseph who had the same problem both before Jesus was born going to Bethlehem, then taking off to Egypt, then coming back to Nazareth seven years later. I will pray with you to St. Joseph. Tell him that he knows what it is like and to do for you what he would have done for Mary. Keep me informed if you would like. I will start a novena tonight.

      Sr. Kathryn

  828. I am in need of St. Joseph’s intervention. I am attempting to work to divide property with a sibling as my parents wished. It is a very difficult process due to a number of circumstances and will be very costly process. I thought it was outlined how it should be divided, but now learned that my sibling and I will need to negotiate that process. I am concerned the situation will not go as planned. There are already indications to that effect. Please St. Joseph come to my immediate aid and guide all those involved in this process so that the division will be equitable. I am very worried. Thank you for your intervention in the past.

    • Jim, Your trust in turning to St. Joseph and entrusting your concerns to the powerful intervention of St. Joseph, the Just Man, will draw blessings upon you and your sibling. We offer all our prayers to St. Joseph, to continue to enlighten you. God bless!
      Sr. Kathryn

  829. Sr. Kathryn,
    Please join me in asking Saint Joseph for his powerful intercession. A dear friend of over 35 years (Like family) walked out of her house in the middle of the night and disappeared…or so it seems. She did not take her cell phone, her car, purse or her wedding ring. Please pray for protection for her, as well as a safe homecoming very soon. This is not at all like her and I cannot imagine her experiencing a break with reality at her age (early fifties) either.
    Thank you so much. I hope all is going well for you. You are such a joy and comfort to all. of us who come here. With a heart full of love and appreciation.
    Dani MarieBernadette

  830. Dear Sister
    Though our father has inhered property but we are still homeless. we are taking a home loan from bank, eventually for a holy shelter. But, things are taking pretty long time with them. I humbly request for a small favor from St.Joseph to bless us with the HOME. oh St Joseph please help my family and all those who are hurting and scared. – Jordan

    • Dear Jordan,
      May St. Joseph come to your aid swiftly. Pray the novena to St. Joseph with full confidence. Your trust in St.Joseph moves his heart, a heart which reveals the great goodness of our Heavenly Father. All of our prayers are united with yours. God bless!
      Sr. Kathryn

  831. Sorry Sister
    Not having a good day – please pray for me and my family. i do not know how to make ends meet – the mortgage looms, the bills, electricity- I hope God can understand how overwhelmed I get and I keep asking on behalf of my sisters – oh St Joseph please help my family and all those who are hurting and scared.

    God give me more faith and strength and courage….sorry to be like this. Julie

    • Courage, Julie. Your needs touch the heart of St. Joseph. In his home, he and Jesus and Mary, lived in an atmosphere consisting of humble labor, poverty, silence and trust in Divine Providence. Cast your overwhelming worries into the hands of Jesus’ father on earth. He will provide even if it takes a miracle. May St. Joseph console and sooth your weary soul with his strong intercession. God Bless!

      • Thank you Sister….I have a little statue of St Joseph right by me when I try and look for work or daily tasks – just to look in his direction helps.
        Your prayers come through the distance and I will continue to pray and seek his guidance – I have no one else to turn to but God and his beloved Joseph. Surely they will help.

        May you always be blessed for reaching out to everyone and praying for us all.

      • Sister
        Last night around 2 am I had a strange yet peaceful feeling that someone was near me, that someone cared and would help me and for some reason, i began to speak of all my worries – about myself, each of my sisters and those in need – and then I fell asleep. I also thought today, that perhaps all the doors have closed, no job, no money in the bank, bills and mortgage payments and no one to borrow from, no one to turn to but God and perhaps that’s what He wanted me to know – that I need to look to Him – it is quite humbling but I wonder if that is what He is trying to tell me.

        I had a dream many years ago, I was struggling up a mountain – a very steep one. I would reach higher and would lose my footing and slip down a bit but grab onto another ridge and go up a little and slip down until I finally made it to the top. I looked behind me as if to see if anyone was following me. I saw a beautiful landscape and trees and flowers around this tree and I went up to it and cupped my hands as if to pour water on the flowers and then I sensed someone was there. I look to my left and there He was sitting on a rock. And I remember He said, I’ve been waiting for you. I thought at the time, I was going to die but here I am–I’ve tried to understand what He meant all this time – the words still clear in my head and heart. Perhaps He meant He was waiting for me to come to Him.

        You have brought me closer to Him by your prayers and website. For that alone, I am forever grateful. And no matter what may happen in the natural, and banks and collectors may think me foolish but He will show me what to do.

        Always
        Julie

      • Julie,

        I am deeply moved by your post. Certainly you have found the peace that hope gives even when everything on earth seems to be going wrong. I know what he cares for you, and that in the end, even if everything isn’t okay, it will still be all right. Let us pray for each other to dear St. Joseph.

        Peace.

  832. Sister,
    May I please ask for special prayers for my sisters, Mary, Marlene and Bobbi – Mary has lost work and hope since my mom passed away in January and Marlene’s house is in foreclosure. I am continuing my prayers to St Joseph and bring my family to him as well. You are more saintly than I, therefore, on this his special day, please say an extra prayer for my sisters. I know he will answer, for he had to care for those he loved. And I love them, so. All I can offer them is prayer and yours will certainly make it to Joseph’s heart. Julie

    • Dear Julie,
      I prayed the special prayer to St. Joseph for your three sisters. He is a wonderful father to all who call on him. He distributes the treasures of the Heart of Jesus to his devotees or to anyone who invokes his intercession. God bless!
      Sr. Kathryn

      • Thank you Sister. Your website is so comforting. I am trusting more and more. Bless you always. Will keep you posted.

  833. Thank you for your prayers, Sister Kathryn….they mean the world to me – it has called me to also pray for all those who are in financial difficulties that are pressing – that even if we feel we have no money in the bank, or job, we still have wealth – we have God and all is not lost. Thank you again for your continued prayers for me and my family.

  834. Sister Katherine, I have a now 12 year old son and I have been out of permanent work since 2005. I was able to obtain temporary work for a few months at a time until this year. I can no longer receive unemployment and desperately need assistance in a prayer to obtain employment so that I can care for my son and myself. Please intercede for us. May God Bless you and I thank you.

    • Dear Brenda,
      I will pray to St. Joseph today and in my on-going Wednesday novena to him. May you experience the comfort in receiving the grace you need. St. Joseph has never been known to fail. He knew and felt what it means to be without work and the heavy responsibility of needing to provide for himself and his family. Even if things seem impossible, he will, in some way, help you in your trouble and distress. Our continued prayers are with you.
      Sr. Kathryn

  835. Sister Katherine, Please help us in our prayers to ST. Joseph. in helping our daughter believe in and love the Lord God again restoring her faith. We would like to have her come back home and also our two grandchildren. We have not seen or heard from them since April 2011 and we miss them all so much. The bad company she was keeping did his best to ensure her that God does not exist and turned her away from her family. He would laugh at our grandson for loving the lord. He is 6 yrs old. Please pray for us..

    • Dear Diana,
      I have prayed to St. Joseph in union with you. He will not delay in answering your heartfelt faith and trust. His power, it has been said, equals his great goodness. Ask him for whatever is you and your family need. He intercessory power with the merciful Heart of his foster son Jesus. Today is Wednesday, the day of the week we honor St. Joseph is a special way. May God bless you.
      Sr. Kathryn

  836. Dear Sister: I know that I have written frequently – I apologize for my frequent contacts. May I again please ask for prayers for my dear Mother who passed one month ago; for me that I may overcome my grief and feelings of failure; for my sibling and family for their grief; for the peaceful resolution of my mother’s affairs, including property and finances. I am most grateful for your prayers.

    • Dear Jim,
      It was so good to hear from you again! I sense your new hope even in your pain. We will continue to pray for you, your dear mother, and your whole family. Prayer and love help to solve difficulties and trials and the strength to carry our crosses with hope and trust. May St. Joseph continue to help you in your sufferings. God bless!
      Sr. Kathryn

  837. Sister Katherine
    Please pray for Bernie Juno and the Hebron House of Hospitality organization of Waukesha WI. Bernie started this organization in 1986 to provide shelter for the homeless. Hebron House now has three shelters that are all overflowing and with the economy being in such a slump we have extensive waiting lists of people waiting to get in. The organization has been hard hit with drastic financial cuts in loan and grant money and these financial difficulties have taken a toll on Bernie’s health. She is in the hospital and needs prayer because her prognosis is not good.
    Thank you for your prayers.
    DaniMarieBernadette

    • Dear Friend Dani,
      You are always so thoughtful and caring for so many people. Tell Bernie, we all are praying for her through the intercession of St. Joseph, “helper in lives emergencies”, for restored health and to provide generously for Hebron House of Hospitality, a work for and with the poor. God’s generosity will not be outdone and he will honor “his man” Joseph in providing whatever is in everyone’s interests in this difficult time. God bless, Dani, and Bernie Juno and “hear the cry of the poor” through Good St. Joseph.
      Sr. Kathryn

  838. Sister Kathryn
    I have been praying to Blessed Mary for help and sometimes I say, please may I borrow Joseph to lean on – I am out of work and the mortgage and bills are piling up – I keep looking for work and praying through the doubt – perhaps I am not good for enough for God to help – I used my savings to help my family members who were in need and care for my mom these last two years before she passed in January. I didn’t think of myself and now, I find I am in need. Would you mind praying to Joseph for me? Thank you so much

    • Dear Julie D.
      St. Joseph will certainly help you. Tell him in simple words, “Dear St. Joseph, take care of my cause quickly. He is especially powerful to be invoked in life’s emergencies. He has never been invoked in vain. I join with you in my novena to St. Joseph to help you in your distress especially since you have helped others before your own needs. “God hears the cry of the poor.”
      Sr. Kathryn

      • Sr Kathryn
        Thank you from my heart. I so needed to hear that. So, I will go to him and ask for myself and my family – and when I feel discouraged I shall wait on God and Joseph will help me….what you do is such a blessing in today’s world – such a relief – perhaps it was he who sent me to you – I was just searching on the web for prayers and asking Mother Mary for her husband’s help. Thank you for praying–I am not alone then, someone dear and good prays with me…
        Julie

      • Sister
        I know I just started praying with you to St Joseph but I wanted to tell you that I believe he is going to help me. I did not have any money this morning to get some groceries and gas for the car. But I was led to some silver necklaces that I had from a long time ago and I thought since I do not wear them much any more, I can try and sell them. Well, I was able to get $70! Far more than I ever thought and I am going to put some money in my sister’s acct in GA as she has little resources as well. I am so humbled that he is going to help me – yes, I have the mortgage and taxes but somehow I feel I have someone who can lead me and help me in ways I know not of. I thank you so much for your prayers and your kindness. Please keep praying for me and my family and I will also for all those who write to you and for you as well. I know now I was meant to find your website.
        Always
        Julie

      • Dear Julie,
        We are one body in Christ and each member is joined to one another in faith to encourage one another and build up the Body of Christ. Union is strength in the Holy Spirit. I’m so glad St. Joseph has begun to show you his goodness; we rejoice with you and will continue to pray for you. God bless!

  839. Asking prayers for my job stability, help me to continue in my present job. Help me to get the driving license in next test (31 Oct) Help for my family, wife and children. Make us love and understand each other to live as thy HOLY FAMILY.

    • Dear George, you have done what God loves. Your are knocking, seeking, asking. God loves to be asked! You have our prayers for your intentions as we ask St. Joseph to bless you and your family in every way. By his great power with his Foster Son Jesus, he will reveal the Heavenly Father’s infinite goodness to you because he loves to give.
      Sr. Kathryn

  840. Asking for prayers for my son. He has an addiction problem to marijuana and possibly other drugs. Alcohol is also a problem. He left college and is working but only general labor and not enough to support himself.

    • Dear Friend, from Jesus and Mary, Good St. Joseph can obtain every good for body and soul. He understands that your beloved son is deep down seeking happiness like all of us. Your prayers for him to St. Joseph as you reach out to your son will be answered. I will pray for you to St. Joseph in my novena to St. Joseph. Love overcomes every difficulty. God bless!
      Sr. Kathryn

  841. I thank Saint Joseph for all he have gone for me. I thank him for all those he has interceded for in this prayer blog.

    I know he is guiding me through each day of my recovery. He knows what job, career/business I will be involved in and who my wife and children are. I simply need to trust more.

    Joseph Gerard Christopher.

    • Dear Joseph, God is filled with joy with your acts of gratitude and in your desire to trust. St Joseph will continue to assist you and will obtain from God the grace to trust more and more. Your desire to trust is in itself an act of trust. Be encouraged. God has made the Blessed Mother and her spouse St. Joseph powerful intercessors praying for us to our Provident Father in heaven who “has blessed us with every blessing in the heavens.” (Ephesians) He just pours out his gifts to us. We are a cause of joy to HIm when we receive his gifts with gratitude and trust. I will continue to pray to St. Joseph for you.

  842. Please St. Joseph aid me in my pressing necessities – that there will be no arguements, conflicts, confrontations with sibling/sister in law/nieces over my mother’s estate, Will, division of property and finances. Please pray that I will make good decisions regarding same and will not create problems. I am struggling with my grief which is making this process difficult for me – I guestion everything and am fearful of moving forward. Please St. Joseph come to my immediate aid.

    • I am continuing to lift you up in prayer, Jim. Persevere in prayer of trust. God is with you and wants to bless you and loves you for your present trust in him. Our tender, compassionate God will certainly bless you with his Provident care in his all loving heart.

  844. Nervous to buy my first home. Looking for comfort in my decision to do so and for the comfort of all others in this same situation.

    • Krista Marie, When I read your note, I turned to St. Joseph to inspire me with some comforting words. St. Joseph, I think, experienced uncertainty at least 3 times when he had to find a dwelling and shelter for Mary and Jesus. And God gently led him to safe places. After this thought I found a beautiful prayer to St. Joseph:
      Dear Saint Joseph, intercede for me with the Heavenly Father, that I might find a new home for my family. I need a place that is sufficient for our needs in an area that is safe for my family. I know you understand the urgency of my request and the anxieties that accompany my search. Please intercede for me to our Heavenly Father who knows all our needs. Provider of the Holy Family, pray for us. Help me to wait patiently if need be. Give me wisdom as I entrust my cause to your powerful intercession. Amen.

  845. Dear St. Joseph: I am so filled with worry and fear. Please help me during a family gathering on Sunday, that there will be no conflicts or controversy; that there will be peace with my sibling and his family and me; that the resolution of my mother’s estate will be peaceful with no conflicts now or in the future. I am consumed with desperation over this situation in addition to the loss of my mother. I beg you with my heart and soul to help me and us in this process.

    • Jim, I join prayer with yours to St. Joseph: Oh, St. Joseph, St Teresa of Avila said you granted everything she asked for in faith.
      With your great power of intercession things that seem impossible are made possible. Come to Jim’s aid in his present trouble and distress. Take under your protection the difficult affairs that Jim has entrusted to you. Obtain from Jesus and Mary what Jim asks. Reveal to him your great goodness and power. We thank you for this grace. Amen

  847. Jim,
    My heart and prayers are with you.

    O Loving Father and Savior, send your angels to carry the soul of your servant, Jim’s Mother, from this earth to the heavenly place of eternal and everlasting life. Let her family and friends who have passed before in faith be reunited in joy with the her. Forgive any wrongs that have been committed and welcome this beloved spirit into the warm embrace of your unending peace. Father, you know the pain that Jim is experiencing right now, please fill him with your love, peace, and wisdom. Remove this heavy burden of darkness from him and show him the joy that comes from living his life to the fullest. Bless his entire family so that they come to an understanding of what loving each other, and being there for each other is really all about.
    Eternal rest grant unto Jim’s mom O Lord,
    And let perpetual Light shine upon her.
    May her soul
    And the souls of all the faithful departed
    Through the mercy of God
    Rest in peace.
    Amen.

  848. My mother passed away last Tuesday. I am feeling guilty and feeling very much alone. I am now struggling with feelings about my family who have taken an assertive approach since my mother’s passing. Since I have no immediate family it feels very much like me and them. Please pray that I can overcome this…I truly don’t know what to do…

    • Jim, may dear St. Joseph and our Mother Mary pray for you in your sorrow and obtain for you much comfort and peace. I am remembering you and your family in our novena to St. Joseph. God bless you!
      Sr. Kathryn

  849. Dear St. Joseph

    Please heal my relationships and find me a good job – I have lost everything I had this year when I had so much at the beginning of the year. I know I was not going on the right path but now I have returned to God. Please intercede for me!

    PAB

  850. Hi Jim,
    My heart and prayers are with you as you struggle with so much right now. One thing I wanted to mention to you is that you are not the only one going through this grief process. I know it might not seem like it at times, but your brother and sister-in-law are grieving too. Perhaps, what you are seeing as cold and controlling might just be the only way they know how to “be there”. I have an older (thirteen year age difference) brother, Bob, that is very much the way you have described your family. When our mother was dying he came into town and just took over. He spoke to the doctors and tried making all the decisions, he too took over moms finances, his wife started cleaning out moms apartment and getting rid of things, as well as deciding what they wanted to keep for themselves. He was making me feel like a blithering idiot. It sure seemed like he was pushing me into a corner at every turn.One night I had enough and I said some things in a heated manner when abruptly he turned and said “Well Dani MarieBernadette, I was only trying to help! I just don’t know what else to do.” he went on to say that he is not like me and he does not deal well with his emotions, he just works through them in a furious sort of manner. Jim, I felt awful. We talked and made up that same night but nothing changed except for me. I learned to accept him just the way he is. I learned that we all grieve differently and that each persons grief is sincere and valid. As time went on I also came to realize that he is a controlling sort of person and has always been that way.Why would I ever have thought he might react any differently in this situation? Not only that but our siblings will always see us the way they did when we were children no matter how much we have grown.
    Yes Jim, there are some cold, calculating and greedy people in the world but I bet if you stop and take a second look you will see that your family members are just hurting too.
    Prayers continuing…
    Dani MarieBernadette

  851. My mot5er has been placed in palliative care and we are now keeping vigil. What a sad experience. To compound the situation my brother and his family seem to be taking control. They individually talk to me about how I should handle the situation, their plans for funeral arrangements, what they believe is best to do with my mother’s finances, that there are items they wish from her home. I don’t believe I am exaggerating. Since I have no wife and family I am completely alone making this even more difficult. I am not sure I can go on.

  852. Thank you so much for all your prayers. I am so glad you are still kicking it!! Gives one hope. I will say a prayer to Saint Peregrine thank you for telling me!
    Brycey

  853. Bryce,
    Prayers still going up for You, Tim and Bruce and all those you love. I have had cancer twice and I am still kicking. 🙂 so that should uplift you a bit. Also pray to Saint Peregrine the cancer saint.
    Best of everything…
    Dani MarieBernadette

  854. I know that St. Joseph is looking out for my family. Please continue to pray for my brother-in-law Tim and my brother Bruce that all will go well with them and the cancer they face.
    Love to all of you and special love and thanks to Sr, Kathryn
    Bryce Mann

    • Bryce, I will remember your loved ones in my novena prayer to St. Joseph which I keep on my bedstand and recite every evening. May good St. Joseph obtain multiple blessings for you, Tim, and Bruce.

  855. SR KATHYRN PLEASE PRAY FOR ME.I ASK FOR DELIVERANCE FROM MISFORTUNES.LORD SET ME FREE.MY WORKPLACE IS BEING CLOSED DOWN AND WE WILL BE DEPLOYED ELSEWHERE.I ASK THE LORD TO LET ME STAY AND WORK WHERE I AM AT THE MOMENT.

    • It can be very upsetting to face a job location change
      or job loss. St. Joseph had to leave Nazareth, Bethlehem, and Egypt and then back to Nazareth and understands your worry and anxieties and will intercede to God for you in his loving plans for your life. I include you with many others in prayer to St. Joseph. God bless!

      Sr. Kathryn

  856. My mother continues to struggle. It seems we conquer one hurdle and another presents itself. I am pleading for the intercession of St. Joseph to aid my mother in regaining alertness and that the feeding plan in place will work to promote nutrition and healing. I also implore St. Joseph to be with me as I struggle with family issues and that he will be with me during a scheduled family meeting at 3p on Wednesday as we sort out the next steps. I feel so alone and overwhelmed by the situation, by the assertiveness of family members and by my desire to believe but fearing the present and future.

    • Jim, I am continuing to pray for you, your mother and your family. We are praying, trusting and believing in God’s mercy and goodness for you. Jesus reassures you “Do not be afraid, for I am with you always! In the Bible God says that his plan for us is for the good and he will give us a future with him. Some prayer that may help you when your anxiety seems to overcome you, is to repeat slowly “Jesus, I trust in you.” “Jesus, I do believe, help my unbelief”.We are united in the Body of Christ. You are loved!
      Sr Kathryn

  857. My brother in law Tim so appreciates your prayers and his new MRI shows that the cancer has not grown. Now I have another request. My brother Bruce Buss has cancer and they think it may be pancreatic. We were hoping it was in the duadeum, but we will have to wait until he has his new CT scans to make sure. Please pray for my brother Bruce and Tim. Love to all of you!

  858. I am so despairing. There have been brief moments of hope and some positive changes, however, things seem tenouous. I feel my family wants to take over in making decisions – I have lived with my mother for over twenty five years and am her POA. I believe I know her the best. Their assertive personalities are taking over and on many occasions bypassing me. My mother continues to be critical. I don’t know what to do – I feel afraid and alone. Please pray that my mother may be healed – we have reached this point for a reason, that she may return to own home and that other extraneous situations resolve. I am thanking God for mercies thus far, but pleading Him to help me and grant me hope.

    • I have you in my heart and prayers these days begging St. Joseph to obtain all the graces God wants to give you. I remembered you in a special way at Mass. I know God is with you because he said to all of us, “Do not be afraid! I Am with you. I am also praying a novena to Sr. Joseph.

      Sr. Kathryn Here is a prayer to St. Joseph:
      Remember of most chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary, that never has it been known that anyone who asked for your help or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I commend myself to you and beg your protection. Despise not my petition, dear foster father of our Redeemer, but hear and answer my prayer. Amen ( from common sources). St Joseph surrendered his own anguish into the heart of the Heavenly Father. Gently, Jesus draws you to himself.
      Sr. Kathryn

  859. Sr. Kathryn,

    Please pray for my Mom. She has always been a well person but recently complains of not being such. We came back from her side of the family reunion and it has been a tough six weeks. All medical tests so far have been normal. We are waiting on another. It is being discussed that it might be depression/anxiety. She is almost 87 yrs old and the change in her in four days was dramatic. Please St. Joseph heal her and help me in this anxiety situation to remain calm and helpful to her. Thanks,

    • Paul, may good St. Joseph obtain serenity and calm trust in this painful situation. God does all good things in his Providence for each of us.I will remember you in my novena to St/ Joseph.
      Sr. Kathryn

  860. Saint Joseph, please help us to sell our house quickly and please help us to get the amount we need to start our new life in our new home in the country. Amen. Thank you for your intercession.

  861. Saint Joseph, please pray for us to sell our house quickly and for the amount we need to start our new life in our new home. Amen

  862. Sr. Kathryn,
    What a wonderful day this is, I have been witness to another miracle that would not have been possible had it not been for Saint Joseph!!! In the beginning of April my friend Gloria wrote asking for prayer. For a year, life had been filled with financial uncertainty and they came to the conclusion that they had no recourse but to downsize and sell their beloved home. I reminded her to trust in Saint Joseph and I came here and requested prayer for them. They put the house on the market and while many people have gone through it (disrupting their lives even more each week) there were no buyers and they could not find the right house to move into. At one point they felt they had one, but just when it came down to the wire everything fell through. She and her husband Linus were devastated and worried sick. I told her not to worry, to bury a statue of Saint Joseph in their yard and trust in Saint Joseph’s prayers for them. She used the statue they had in their Christmas manger 🙂
    Today, I got an email from her saying that now that rates are low they were able to refinance their home at a much lower rate and for ten years so they have taken their house off the market. They are so thrilled and finally at peace. She wrote “I got St. Joseph out of the ground now and cleaned him up so he is all ready for the Nativity set this Christmas. He did his job in the best way.”
    Thank you Sr. Kathryn, for your prayers, your devotion to Saint Joseph and for sharing it with all of us.
    Thank you Saint Joseph for your prayers for my friends and for this awesome miracle.
    I love you both and am so excited and beyond grateful with each new miracle.

  863. Hi Jim,
    There is a big difference between being overwhelmed by something and losing hope. The very fact that you have asked for prayer tells me that you are not losing hope in God but in the overwhelming situation. This is natural and nothing to worry about. You are covered in prayer and if the only prayer you can offer right now is to say the Name of Jesus over and over..it is more than sufficient, it is perfect. Try and remember that it is in “letting go” and allowing God to take the reigns that you will find peace.He will see to it that everything works according to His plan and one day when you look back you will see that it has been for the good of all.
    My prayers are with you and your family.
    Dani MarieBernadette

  864. Thank you. I am truly afraid I am losing hope rapidly. What I had hoped would resolve seems to be leaving me. I am concerned about my family and what decisions they wish to be made – at this moment I feel apart from them. May God please help us.

    May you be blessed for your kindness.
    Jim

  865. Hi Jim,
    The pain you are experiencing, especially the part of feeling abandoned, touched my very soul. I have been there.
    The reason I wanted to wait until today to get back to you is that in the midst of praying for you…I felt called to send you a note. The problem with that is no matter what I wrote; it did not feel right, so I decided I needed more prayer before beginning. Let me begin now by saying that while you seem to be going through a very dark period in your life, God has not abandoned you. He is right there with you through everything. Just because we do not always feel His presence, does not mean that we are alone, He has promised never to leave us, and He is Truth. The best way out of your confusion regarding the decisions you must make concerning your mom, is to set aside some private time to have a deep conversation with God, pour your heart out to Him, relax in His embrace, and then allow enough time to be still and listen for Him to answer you. You may not think you are hearing anything, but trust that He will fill you with His peace and wisdom. Also, ask Saint Joseph to work with your family filling them with compassion, understanding, and love. I will continue to pray for you and your family. Please do not lose hope.

  866. Jim, I am praying for peace and strength for you in this situation. I am also praying for your mom and for God to make His Will known to you. I am asking St. Joseph to go to Jesus on your behalf. I will write more tomorrow. Please do not lose hope…
    God Bless you

  867. “My God, my God why have you abandoned me.” Every shred of hope
    seems to be gone. I am hoping, it seems against hope. My mother has
    suffered a serious problem requiring extensive surgery, from which she
    is very slow to respond. Doctors are wanting me to make heart wrenching decisions. I pray day and nite and do not feel God’s presence. In addition I am struggling with my sibling and his family who are questioning me and causing me challenges by their actions and words. I feel I am at the very bottom. Please…please…I beg for prayers that this situation will work out with my mother recovering and all controversy resolving.

    • Jim, your prayer of lament goes straight to the heart of Jesus. I feel he is with you, embracing you close to his heart as you struggle to hope against hope. Your pain is mysteriously in solidarity with his on the cross. Your very desire to want to hope is already an act of hope trusting God will answer you. He will not abandon you. Place your suffering in the hands of St. Joseph and I will pray tonight in union with all who are praying for you. May St. Joseph obtain peace and comfort as God’s plans for you and your family unfolds in his Providence. God bless you.
      Sr. Kathryn

  868. Thank you all for your positive prayers. I just met a man named Dean and he is doing dialysis for kidney problems. He is on a transplant list. Please pray for him also.
    In sweet Jesus name we pray to you St. Joseph

    • Bryce, I will remember Dean in my prayers to dear St. Joseph in a special way in my ongoing novena.God bless you and Dean. May his turn for a transplant be soon.
      Sr. Kathryn

  869. We have some positives on our dear brother-in-law! His last MRI showed that the cancer has not spread in his brain. Thank you for all your prayers and support. Praises to St. Joseph and all the saints and to our Lord and Sweet Jesus. He has a new MRI this week so keep the prayers coming! Love to you all!

  870. Sr. Kathryn,
    Hello my precious friend, I hope life is being good to you. Tonight I am asking for prayer for several people. I will start with my sister Dona, who needs healing and more jobs coming in. She is 61 years old and earns her living cleaning houses. The downturn of the economy has made it rough for her and tonight she told me she absolutely has to have more jobs coming in because she can’t pay her bills as it is now. Her husband cannot find a job and her cupboard is nearly bare. She also has an infection on her eyelid and can’t afford the medication.even if she could get into the Dr. before September.
    Next, my son in law Adam is a roofer and there is not enough business for him to be able to support his young family either. He is planning on going back to school for a Business degree while things are slow, please pray it will be a success.
    Yesterday I ran into Dee (one of the guests from the shelter I worked for before it closed down) and she is having a very difficult time. She does have a job at WalMart but not enough money to get an apartment yet (she is staying with a friend through August) and she battles low self esteem and serious depression. Having been diagnosed with clinical depression myself years ago I can certainly empathize with her. I promised to pray for her and to ask all of you to join me in praying for her and her demeanor brightened right up. .
    Things were financially rough for me but not unmanageable this past month and they are looking up again. My brake pads on the front wore down to the metal and the grinding has been making me a wreck but next week I will be able to take care of them. My mechanic said that because my rear brakes were good, it would be okay to drive as long as I am careful. I used my head and only drove when absolutely necessary. I am so grateful to Saint Joseph because he always looks out for me and I feel he protects me, and those around me, until I can afford to get them fixed.
    Thank you for the heartfelt caring and prayer that you provide for all of us.
    God Bless you Sr. Kathryn, with a heart full of love, Dani

    • Dear Dani, I have entrusted all your intentions to the great heart of St Joseph and his most holy spouse, Mary. Continue to pray with confidence and trust. Thank you for your prayers for me. God bless you.
      Sr. Kathryn

  871. May I please ask for prayers for my mother to be blessed with improved health, for her to successfully remain in her own home, for good/dedicated caregivers to assist me; for property-financial-vehicular concerns to resolve so that I may experience some peace of mind. I feel overwhelmed and sad much of the time as I want to insure my mother’s care and resolve the other issues which seem insurmountable. Thank you.

  872. Please pray for a man named Joseph who is going through depression because of some inner wounds from childhood, especially never knowing his father. He is desperate to know the love of God the Father, and to be free from emotional bondage that has grown into a self-hatred that has included suicidal thoughts. Bless you for your prayers!

    • I will remember Joseph in my prayers and entrust him to the intercession of the Blessed Mother and good St. Joseph.
      Sr. Kathryn

      • Thank you, Sr. Kathryn. If anyone can help, I know St. Joseph can. You are in our prayers, too.

  873. Please pray for my brother Dragan P., he is 31 year old, for him healing, he need better life, he need Kingdom of God in him life, he need good future, he would like to live in Ottawa in Canada and he would like to have honesty and good job, he need good work friends, he would like to be only happy and have only very happy and blessing life, he need good girl, good future women, good future wife, good future children, good future marriage, good future life, if God wont, please pray for him life, thanks, God bless you!

    • Dear Katarina, I will remember you and all your intentions in my novena to St. Joseph. May he bless you, your brother Dragon and Mario.
      St. Joseph, foster father of our Lord Jesus Christ and spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, pray for Katarina and all her loved ones. Amen.

  874. Lord Jesus please let Justin get the job he has had 2 interviews with at E.E.Let me make every bonus my company offers for sales and let me get and easily pay for my weight loss surgery and be thin and healthy In Jesus’s Name,The Father and the Holy Spirit.Amen.

    • God bless you, Sherri. I place your intentions in the hands of dear St. Joseph.May St. Joseph’s intercession obtain all the blessings God wants to give you in his loving providence.

  875. Sr. Kathryn,
    Thank you for your note and prayers. The hardest class that I am taking is something I think you would find very interesting…The Catholic Tradition, 🙂 Reason,Faith, and Tradition: Explorations in Catholic Theology by Martin Albl. Please ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten me so that I will gain new understanding and come to know this in my mind, heart and soul.
    Dani

  876. Hi Sr. Kathryn,
    Well, the homeless shelter where I work closed down yesterday and we have been laid off until October, if then. We were able to place all of our guests but it is going to be very hard on women and children who may find themselves in dire straights in the near future so please keep them in your prayers. Also writing to ask for your prayers for this new term in school. I have just completed my first week in this term and already it is so much tougher than all my schooling thus far.
    Going to bed.. thank you for always being there and for all the prayers.
    with love, Dani

    • Dear Dani,

      You have my prayers for your situation, both employment and school. Your concern for the women is touching, and I am sure moves the heart of God that you reach out to others, even as you need help yourself. St. Joseph would understand you profoundly.

      Sr. Kathryn

      Sr. Kathryn

  880. Dear Sister:
    Today I am feeling very low and desperate. Everything seems to be going wrong and I am struggling in many ways. News of financial concerns last evening have me very worried and fearful – all seems lost. I am so in need of prayer. God bless.

    • Dear Jim, St. Joseph is especially powerful in helping us in desperate moments. These are moments when we pray as we can, even if only “St Joseph, pray for me, increase my faith and hope. Joseph had many “desperate” moments in his life when everything seemed to be falling apart. He prayed and struggled and relied on Divine Providence with trust and God provided for him and his family. Many times, what seems lost turns out to be a blessing. I have just now prayed for you and will continue in my Holy Hour of Adoration. Courage, God is with you!
      Blessings
      Sr Kathryn

  881. requesting prayers for my sister in-law, Annette, and my brother, John. For strength, peace and health during her labor. She is in labor now with their first child……they’ve been married for 21 years and tried to conceive without success….going to fertility specialist many times. Last year they convalidated their marriage in the Church and our God gave them the blessings of conceiving their first child. A TRUE miracle and blessing from God.

  882. I ask for prayers for Jessica, my sweetheart. For the gifts of the Holy Spirit. For the fortitude, wisdom she needs. For guidance, healing, conversion and reversion to our God and Church. For us to strengthen our love for each other and God. As Blessed Pope John Paul II said….”our Risen Lord offers his Love that pardons, reconciles and reopens hearts to love.” I ask for prayers that Jessica and I pardon each other and seek forgiveness, reconcile and reopen our hearts to each other and to God; if this be Gods will.

Yes, I will pray with you for all your needs at this time. St. Joseph, pray for us.

    • St. Joseph lost his job in Nazareth and worried about providing for the material needs of his family. He, too, suffered with the unknown and began all over again in Bethlehem, and Egypt and when they returned from there. He loved and trusted and did his best and God guided him, as he trusted in Divine Providence. I will pray for you and with you to Joseph over the weekend. May you experience his powerful intercession and find peace of mind.God bless!

  885. I need over a million dollars to help my brother-in-law with his medical dept. My sister has insurance on him, but not enough to cover his medical debt with the chemo and radiation therepy he takes for his glioblastoma metaforte. He is sleeping a lot these days and they both know he is going to die. He told my husband that he cannot go to the basement in the hospital where he receives treatment because he sees dead people. OK there is a morgue there. I am so sad for them and really want to help their financial problem. They are letting their house gointo forecloseure because they cannot afford it on her income alone. Her daughter and granddaughter live there too. It hurts so much to see them this way. She is having him experience every thing he can while he still can. Please pray for this. I have gotten powerballs just in case I can strike it rich and help them with all the bills. They are such wonderful people. Please pray for us all.
    Thank you! Bryce Mann

    • I will pray to St Joseph tonight for your intentions. I keep a prayer to St.Joseph at my bedside table.May St. Joseph obtain all the help you need to trust in Divine Providence in your painful situation. He can obtain miracles for you and he has never failed anyone. God bless!

  886. Dear Sister: Thank you for your ongoing prayers for my mother, my familly and myself. My mother has returned home and is doing well. May I please ask for prayers that she thrives at home, that she will enjoy being back home, for good/ caregivers and for sibling to create no difficulties with same, for mother’s blood work to improve; for property-financial-vehicular-family struggles to resolve peacefully; for a good confession for self. Thank you.

  887. Hi Sister,

    Thank you for your prayers. It’s been a dark few years and I’m down on myself alot for sins and for lost opportunities. I would love your prayers for St. Joseph’s help and protection on my journey.

    Thanks,

    Tom

    • Hi Tom,
      I hope you don’t mind, but as I was praying about your request today I was reminded of something I have learned and decided to share it with you.
      At 62 years of age it would be fair to say that I have had my share of experiences with both dark years, and regret. As someone whose life has been touched by depression, I am well aware that these experiences and our guilt over them can become magnified right out of proportion. What I have learned is this: It is not God who repeatedly sends us feelings of guilt or regret…it is the devil who does this so that he can maintain a sense of control over us. Once we initially express the regret and true sorrow to God for not having made better choices or for the lost opportunities of life and ask forgiveness we have an obligation to trust that we are forgiven, so that we can move forward. Yes Tom, we have an obligation to “let it go” so that we do not waste another precious moment on the sinful side of life. God our loving father, wants us to have a healthy sense of freedom in all future choices that could not be possible if we cling to the past due to regret or guilt.
      I continue to pray for you to receive the graces that will keep you moving ever closer to our wonderful and loving father.
      In his love…
      Dani MarieBernadette

    • Dear Tom,

      You are in my prayers. I hear you sadness and anxiety connected with your need for a meaningful and fruitful life. Your life may be more meaningful and fruitful than you know, in ways you don’t expect. Would you be able to ask St. Joseph to show you ways in which your life is profoundly gifted in these unexpected ways. He also had his life laid out, Mary’s pregnancy seemed to interrupt those dreams. He understands where you are. But he also knows that God’s plans for you can be truly gifted if we hand ourselves over to God’s protection and goodness.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  888. I ask for you prayers and intercession for Jessica, my Sweetheart. For the healing of the confusion and chaos in her life, her mind, heart & soul. For the graces she needs to seek forgiveness, and forgive herself, me and others who have hurt her. For the graces she needs for her soul searching, discernment and examination of conscience. For the healing of the anger, resentment and bitterness in her heart and the healing of any lack of self worth, self esteem and self respect. For us to pardon, reconcile and reopen our hearts to our love for each other and our God. For the courage and persistence she needs not to give up on us. Thank You

    • Peace.

      You love as St. Joseph loved, in a selfless desire for the good of the one you love. Ask St. Joseph to provide her with everything you cannot and to strengthen your love for God and for Jessica…to love with the heart of God. I shall pray with you.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  889. Hello

    I am looking for a full -time job and it is soooo hard!. I need a job as soon as possible as my family is falling apart. I need money to support myself and my family. Without money I will not live. I have applied to so many companies and went to so many interviews, still no luck. Ive been looking for a full -p time for a year now. I am getting so stressed that I feel like letting go. Can you please help me father. pray for me that I get a full time job soon! . I have prayed to God every night with tears. It is so frustrating for me.

    I live in Toronto, On, Canada.

    Please e-mail me at your earliest convieince. Thank you.

    • Rosy,

      My heart goes out to you in your need. Let us pray to St. Joseph together. There were times when he was desperate, like when he looked for a place for Mary in Bethlehem. Tell him that you need him to find you a home. You trust him as much as Mary depended on him. I will pray too.

      Sr. Kathryn

      • Thank you vey much for your prayer!

        I still not yet found a full – time employment. Please continue to pray or me as I will do also.

        I was wondering if you have an employment prayer you could give me to pray.

    • Peace.

      Such sorrow. St. Joseph loved Mary so much, he must certainly understand the sorrow and the love in your heart. I will remember you tonight in my special novena to St. Joseph.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  890. Dear Sister thank you for the fine work that you do You are such a blessing in this world Keep up the wonderful prayers When I was younger a stranger gave me a St Joseph’s medal and told me St Joseph would lead me to my true home. Eventually he did but not to a house but to a place of employment I worked for a long time at this place, a hospital called Sacred Heart I was a very dedicated worker and loved my job My coworkers were family I loved them dearly especially one in particular But because of a misunderstanding and lack of communication between people I lost my job and my Heart I miss it so much I have been trying to go back to the place I love so much I hope and pray that Saint Joseph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus
    can help me to regain my true home I truly seek their help wisdom and guidance in my life Atleast to reconnect with the person I cared about the most thanks for listening May God truly bless you

    • Dear Maryann,

      I can feel how much you have been connected to this place of work and the people you knew, loved, and worked with. St. Joseph often moved his workplace: from Nazareth to Egypt and back to Nazareth again. I’m sure he understands. Let us pray together to St. Joseph for the graces you so desire.
      Sr. Kathryn

  891. I need saint joseph’s help in completely surrendering
    my life, will, mind and evrything back to God. This includes everythingn in my future. I keep trying on my own.

    Joe

    • Joe,

      Surrender is hard. Joseph discovered that he had to give all over to God, because what was being asked of him was far beyond anything he could imagine or figure out. But surrender brings complete press. Want what God wants. Even if you feel angry, frustrated or fearful, these are feelings. If the will is pointed in the direction of God’s desires, you are surrendering.

      Sr. Kathryn

  892. My mother has returned home, we have relinquished the NH bed, caregivers in place. Now we have a situation where one caregiver has not worked out and the other caregiver may not be able to provide services solely and with minimal help from a third care provider. Please pray that this situation works out well and that my mother will not need to return to NH. Thank you.

    • It’s hard to wait for things to work out, no?

      I’ll pray that in time God shows you his glory and goodness.

      Sr. Kathryn

  893. My mother is very ill right now and suffering from lung cancer, brain & bone metastasis. please help us pray that my mother will be healed and return to her normal health and focus her life with our Lord Jesus Christ.

    • Peace.

      It is so hard to see our loved one’s suffer. Mary must understand you, as she watched St. Joseph suffer. I will entrust you to Mary and Joseph.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  894. My mother has returned home conditionally from nursing home – please pray that it will be a successful and permanent transition. Also, I am encountering serious financial struggles in regard to financing caregivers, operating expenses – please pray that I can find the financial resources/good decision making skills; also, please pray for peace within family. Thank you.

  895. Please pray for me that Saint Joseph will open up a job, new place to live and other miracles to restart my life, such as a new wife

    • May st Joseph give you the stability of his strength and desire to do God’s will and the freshness of resurrection.
      Sr. Kathryn

  896. Please pray for our school board to rescind my resignation and grant me a year of medical leave. I reacted very severely to medication I had been given by my Dr. and I was medically unsound when I made the decision. I did not know I was bad off until I became unable to function. It’s most likely that I have a liver issue where I cannot breakdown certain meds. and so they pool into levels toxic in my brain and central nervous system. I was called by G-d to be a teacher. I love it as much as I love being a wife and mother. I pray that the board and admin. will understand my plight and grant me this request. In the name of Jesus I pray.

    • Lauren,

      Your situation is very difficult. I pray St. Joseph help you in every way that you need comfort, guidance, strength and hope.

      Sr. Kathryn

      • Thank you for your prayers. I should know in the next week or so what my job fate will be. This has been so very hard on me and my husband. Without our faith, we would not have been able to be as strong as we have been. Please pray for all of those who are helping us. Please also pray for 3 people I know who have leukemia. They are relatively young. The one’s husband will be losing his job at the end of the month and she is still out on medical leave. Please pray for them especially, they have young children as well.

  897. Sr Kathryn,
    Kindly include me in your prayers, I am in a very difficult situation, I cannot make ends meet, I am working abroad and I haven’t paid the rent in the flat in which I am staying for more than 4 months now, I dont know where in God’s hand will I get money to pay for my due bills for this month. I have been living like this for almost six months now. It is really taking a toll out of me, I can’t eat or sleep and I am losing weight very fast. Please pray for me to God and St Joseph to give me another chance to tidy up my life. I have two small kids who need me and I am solely supporting them, I am trying to be strong for them and to always think that all things will work out for me but I don’t know how I could do this. I am losing hope and I am afraid that my faith is faltering. I don’t want to go to jail, I don’t know what to do anymore, I don’t want to think of ending my life because I am the only one my kids have. Please pray for me in this very difficult situation, may feel the Lord and St. Joseph’s loving embrace. Thank you very much.

    • Johanna,

      My heart goes out to you. To think of ending your life shows how desperate you must feel your situation to be. Ending your life, however, as you say, will not really be in anyone’s best interest or really help the situation. I will join in prayer to St. Joseph and your guardian angel that someone will reach out to you with help or guidance or wisdom. I will send my own guardian angel to be with you and to help keep you calm and trusting.

      Sr. Kathryn

  898. My mother’s physician has approved her discharge home conditionally, but now I am filled with anxiety and worry that it is the right decision and that it will be successful. I am so worried that it may not work. Please pray that my anxieties and worries are unfounded and that it will be in my mother’s best interest. Thank you.

    • Jim,

      We all can only make decisions as best we can with the information we have at the time. Joseph must have worried about this too. Should I take Mary with me to Bethlehem or not? What will happen if the baby is born on the way? What if there is a problem? Is this the best decision?

      Ask Joseph to help you be in peace. To take it a step at a time, alert for any new information that would cause you to modify your decision. Your anxiety shows your love and sense of responsibility for your mother. Concentrate on loving her and providing for her. And allow God to work. He will.

      Sr. Kathryn

  899. Sr. Margaret,
    Thank you for your prayers and this website where we many can offer prayers for teach other in our need. I have miraculous news to report. We have been given an $82,000 check and will not have to close the doors of the homeless shelter. Not only does Saint Joseph help us find a home & sell a home but he also helps us keep a home 🙂 God is so awesome and Saint Joseph always has our back with his own prayers for us. I am so grateful !!! Thank you everyone who prayed for us, thank you Saint Joseph and Thank you Jesus!!!

  900. Dear St Joseph, please help Graeme and me to get back on our feet. We have no home and only a broken car after the earthquake in Christchurch and its so sad to see the Cathedral so damaged, please help all of us who turn to you during this tragic time.

    • Marion,

      My heart goes out to you. I will remember you in a special way in my novenas to St. Joseph. He must help you. Trust greatly in him.

      Sr. Kathryn

  901. Please pray to Saint Joseph for my friend Gloria and her husband Linus to know what to do regarding their home. If they are to sell it please lead them to the right place to live. Remind him that Gloria has been a loving and loyal daughter to him 🙂
    Thank you

  902. Please join with me in a prayer to my fiance so that, God can break all the curses he is carrying because of sin life he is living, he is taking alcohol and having adultery relationship. Please pray for him so that he can be saved and turn to Jesus. May Holy Spirit talk to him and change his mind by showing him true love and divine love i have for him and rescue him from the bondage which hold him in that relationship which is out of God will. May spirit of anger,adultery,drunkerdness and hatreth towards me destroyed by God.May God rescue him and allow us to get married soon, I love him so much.when Hanna was praying for a child,she promised God that she will give the child to God,i promise to God that the family which he will give me with Sad–k, we will serve God with love and commitment.May that woman holding him in the adultry relationship,leave him. May Holy Spirit talk to her and let her set him free.let that woman quit without pain in her heart,i dont want her to feel pain.On Friday that woman called me and told me if me and my fiance will get back together she will kill us.Please pray for me so that God can fight me.the name of the woman holding him is Rhoda.

    • Dear Mon,
      I have prayed over this and feel I must respond to your prayer request. I pray Sr. Margaret forgives me. Continue to pray for this man, but at the same time also pray for enlightenment for yourself. Ask Saint Joseph to make sure that you are doing what God wants for your life. Those of us who believe in miracles, sometimes misunderstand exactly where our role ends and God’s begins. It is not always true that the man we fall in love with is from God, or is meant for us. It tells us exactly what love is in 1 Corinthians Ch 13:
      “Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,
      it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.”
      Mon, I understand you believe you have this kind of love for your fiancee but God wants you to find a man who has these feelings for you as well. If this was the love God created for you it would not include adultery and there would be no place for his hatred of you.
      If you were my sister, I would tell you to continue to pray for this man to come to really know God, but I would also tell you that perhaps God wants you to let him go… so you can find the man God created for you. By your prayers, you can be sure that God will do everything He can to bring this man to him, but in the end, it will still depend on this man and his free will.
      Mon, please be careful. I am praying for you and this man.
      In the Love of Jesus, the Heart of Mary and the Protection and strength of Saint Joseph I leave you.
      Dani MarieBernadette

  903. Sr. Kathryn,

    My name is Amy and I just finished my 2nd interview for a position I really need and want. Out of 100+ people It is down to 2. My Husband has been out of work for a year and I was a stay at home Mom. We have a 5 year old son and are losing our house. I really need and want this job. could you please help me with my prayers to Saint Joseph. I will find out this Wednesday if I get the job or not.

    • Dear Amy,

      I will ask St. Joseph in a special way to take care of you and your family. Just as he worked miracles in keeping his own family safe, may he do the same for you. Tell him that he MUST help you. That’s all there is to it.

      Sr. Kathryn

      • Sr. Kathryn,

        I did not get the job, but I feel there is another road for me to take and St. Joseph will help guide me. Please keep praying for me and my family so that I can provide for my son and get us out of this place we are in.

      • Amy,

        I will continue praying. I’m sure Joseph wanted to go to Nazareth after Bethlehem. Instead he was sent off to Egypt. God has a mission for you and your family. St. Joseph understands that and can lead you in that way.

        Sr. Kathryn

  904. The sale of our home. Foreclosures are all over our neighborhood and I am concerned it has brought our value down. St. Joseph please ask Jesus to guide an old friend who told me he was seeking to become a Franciscan but doors were closing in his face because of his age. He is a widow and has raised his children and would like to go back to where he left off before he married.

    • Tina,

      May St. Joseph take care of you and your family, especially in the same of your home. I will pray also for your friend’s vocation.

      Sr. Kathryn

  905. Please pray for my son-in-law to give up smoking and drinking and it is getting worse and causing a lot of problem in the family
    I am praying to St Joseph everyday and I hope he will come to this family and help them with their problems I know that St Joseph will intercede soon as I am frighten because they have a child 1 year and he is afraid when the parents argue Please pray that St Joseph will help soon.

    • Dear Maisie,

      I can just imagine how frightened you must be for your daughter and grandchild. We can both tell St. Joseph to remember how he cared for Jesus as a child. May he look after your grandson with the same attention and protection.

      Let us pray together.

      Sr. Kathryn

  906. Traditionally people entrust to St. Joseph’s human housing needs. After several long months and a number of failed leads, I am still trying to find a permanent home for a very lovely dog. This morning I received an email reply from a priest friennd of mine that offers some hope in this pursuit. The resolution, however, is dependent on a decision by a group of women living in community. Inspired by these stories posted here and others I have heard, I would like to entrust the home need of “Nancy” to St. Joseph’s intercession. Animal creatures at Bethlehem were friend to the Holy Family on that cold winter night. I believe that St. Joseph together with St. Francis will intercede in this need.

    • I’m sure they will, Lisa.

      Your trust and confidence will certainly be rewarded as only God knows how.

      United in prayer,
      Sr. Kathryn

  907. I am scared and in need of prayers: for a successful weekend home visit for my mother with prospective caregivers without sibling conflict; that I will be guided to make a well informed thoughtful decision with my mother regarding her permanent return home – I don’t know what to advise her; for financial constraints to resolve; for property problems to be resolved without conflict; for peace; for guidance in decisions. Thank you.

    • Jim,

      I will be praying for you on my retreat this week-end, asking St. Joseph to truly make your family a Holy Family, a space where God’s peace can be experienced.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  908. Here are a few requests for prayer. Can you pray over them and send them around to all of your prayer partners.

    1) For Bruce who has severe osteoarthritis. For his wife, Margie, who has bone cancer (started out as breast cancer) and it has metastasized to her brain.

    2) for Mark the maintenance man who,at forty five, has gone back to school after joyfully taking care of his elderly father for the last twenty years, prior to dads dying (and is still caregiver for his mom who is 89)

    3) for Siena House, the homeless shelter for families, women and children, where I work. http://www.hebronhouse.org/default.htm
    They are planning on closing the doors on May 1st due to a lack of funding. We need a major miracle of $90,000 to stay open. Pray both for the people we help and the employees to find alternate jobs, if we close down, in this poor economy.

    4) For me to gain an understanding of this Math course I am taking and be able to pass it with flying colors. I am not doing well in this class at the moment.

    5.) Prayers of thanksgiving for all the wonderful things God has done and is doing in my life, my children’s and grandchildren’s life.

    Thank you dear friend, for always being there to shine the Light of God in every direction. Love you much,
    .
    Dani MarieBernadette

  909. i pray for a lifetime partner. somebody who will love, understand, accept me for who i am and who is of the same faith. i pray that i will see doc joseph tomorrow. please help me in praying for financial assistance to settle my present obligations. i pray for good health for me and my family. thank you very much.

    • Ayena,
      All of these intentions would have been prayers that St. Joseph would have probably prayed for himself in his life. I am sure he can understand your heart as you pray. I will pray with you.
      Sr. Kathryn

  910. Sr. Kathryn,

    Please pray to St. Joseph for me. I have struggled most of my life with anxiety and depression. It seems to be worsening the last few months. My life has been ruled by it and I have trouble accepting me and my problems. Docs and meds help some. I was given so much by my parents that I feel terrible guilt that that I have not done more in my life. It is hard to explain but I have isolated myself so much that it is now coming home to roost in loneliness and despair. Thank you for your help!

    • Paul,
      You have the beginnings of transformation….a certain awareness of what the problem has been. Anxiety and Depression are very difficult crosses so please treat yourself with respect and patience. There are also steps you can take beyond doctors and medications, listening to music, some healing modalities that can reduce anxiety or lift moods–ranging from exercise, light therapy, healing touch or acupuncture, etc. If you haven’t read Surviving Depression, A Catholic Approach, you may find it helpful.

      You are in my prayers,
      Sr. Kathryn

      • Sr Kathryn,

        Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Since I posted my prayer request I have started back with a therapist. I also went to Confession today for the first time in years. The priest was amazing and helped a lot! I need to “take it easy on myself” , “love myself and my neighbor”, and begin to work on rebuilding my relationship with God through my crosses. They are indeed difficult crosses but I know others have just as difficult of ones. Thanks for the book suggestion. Please continue to pray for me. Thanks!

  911. I finished my novena to St. Joseph today, and I ask for your prayers for the healing of my husband who has a malignant brain tumor. He is such a good, kind, good Catholic man – he needs a miracle. WE do!
    PLEASE keep Fred in your prayers!

    • Liz,

      You and Fred are definitely in my prayers to St. Joseph that he will bring peace and the miracle you so need.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  912. Precious Saint Joseph,
    Happy Feast Day. I just wanted to say thank you for all the prayers you offer up for me, for taking care of my family and to let you know I love you. I apologize for those times when I become distant or don’t listen. I can only imagine the celebration that is going on in Heaven today… enjoy your day.

  913. Dear Sr. Kathryn, please remember me and my family in your prayers in this special day. I’m a 27 years old girl and since I lost my mother 8 years ago, my life has been hard and ruined with depression. I have no friends and I feel often very lonely and sad. My biggest dream is to find a loving husband to start a new family, but I’m a very shy person and I can’t do that on my own. I put my faith in Saint Joseph.
    Saint Joseph bless us all.

    • Maura,

      I wonder if St. Joseph was a shy person. After all, we never hear a word from him in the Scriptures. Perhaps he was the silent type of person that nevertheless is able to be the firm pillar upon whom others can rely. You express that your life has been “ruined.” That is a very strong word, and it makes me worry very much for you. I will pray that St. Joseph will help you find a renewal in your life and a way out of darkness and depression so that you can discover the beauty of your life as it is now. There is beauty in it now, even in the sorrow. You have gifts now, even in your sorrow. I think of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton who lost her husband to tuberculosis, became Catholic and then lost all her friends. She had to raise her family on her own and eventually after many years began a religious community of teach sisters. God has a dream for you also. I will pray that St. Joseph will help you discover this dream. Let us pray together.
      Sr. Kathryn

  914. Please pray for my parents. They are elderly and and have exhausted their retirement funds due to both serious medical problems and one of my brothers, Anthony, who has a past drug/alcohol problem. My husband and I have been providing my parents with an additional $400 a month to cover the increasing doctor visits, medications and food but even that is not enough. Occasionally, they ask my other two brothers for help as well. My nephews and niece are even buying groceries and household items for them. They still have a mortgage on their home which will not be paid off for another 7yrs and the house is in need of serious repair. At 81 and 78, they should be enjoying the remaining years of their lives but they can’t because of their situation. My brother Anthony is 53yrs old and receives social security because of a back injury but my mother has always taken care of him, so much so, that she keeps his medication and money for him. He is capable of managing his own money and medications but he just lets her as if he’s a child. His social security check covers his truck payment which is $600, insurance and his medications-he has very little left at the end of the month. I’m so blessed to have a wonderful husband of 20yrs who loves my parents as much as I do. This evening he asked them to move in with us but my Mother said no because Anthony would have no where to live. He could actually live with his son but he doesn’t want to. In the meantime, my parents are suffering. I’m the youngest in the family at 42 but willing to take on this great responsibility if they will only let me help them. Please pray my parents will see there is a way out of this burden by moving in with us. I am increasingly concerned over the stress this is causing them and my husband and I.

  915. Please St. Joseph I urgently ask for prayers that my mother will have improved health; that I can resume caring for her in her own home with good caregivers to assist me; that financial stressors may subside; that an ongoing property issue may resolve without conflict from sibling now or in the future. Please I am so despairing. Thank you.

    • Jim,
      In all of this God is calling you to greater faith in his willingness to walk with you through your life, to direct you and love you. This is what St. Joseph learned as God directed him through angels and dreams through very difficult circumstances. I pray that St. Joseph will send such an angel into your life to direct you in all things.
      Sr. Kathryn

  916. St. Joseph, please I am pleading you to please help me, I am a single mother and I am working abroad to support my kids’ needs. I am in deep debts as of the moment I don’t know what to do, I know that my mother can’t take care of them much longer. You are the protector of the Holy family, please send me back home to my kids and may I find another source of income that will make me stay with them. I can’t leave this country unless I can pay-off all my debts, please help me, I am so depressed and lonely that I contemplate of ending my life, but I am still hanging on for the sake of my kids. In the commemoration of your feast day, I am humbly asking you for this grace.

    Kindly help a friend also, Russell Lilley that he can sell his house ASAP so that he can move to the Gold Coast to start a new life.

    Please take care of my family who are far away from me, make a way for me to come home and to see my kids grow up. Have mercy on me, my dear St. Joseph. Amen.

    • Johanna,
      My heart goes out to you. Joseph would understand not being able to see one’s children grow up, because he was called home sometime before Jesus began his public life. St. Joseph, reach out to Johanna and help her find the way God has marked out for her and to follow that path with faith and hope. Help her to find peace. Reunite her with her children. Draw her close to God’s heart.
      Sr. Kathryn

  917. Please pray for the recovery and healing of Vilma, a 37 year old mother with 2 sons, 8 and 2 years old, respectively. Vilma is suffering from thyroid cancer which is now in stage 3 going to stage 4. Both of her thyroid glands were removed in February 2010 and she is undergoing radiation therapy. Her physical source of life basically depends on medicines. Yet we truly know that her life extension is from God who in His infinite mercy grants her a little more time to live and to repent and prepare for the next life. She has been given 5 more years to live and 1 year has already passed, which means she still has 4 more years here on earth. As of now Vilma also continues to live through prayers, masses, and charity. May God grant her recovery and healing if it be for the good her soul and for the greater glory of God. Please pray also for the eternal repose of the soul of Erlinda who was Vilma’s sister who died in a vehicular accident on May 2000. Thank you and God bless you.

    • Claire,
      I promise my prayers and ask you to pray for me also, that in the years left of our lives we may grow closer to God.
      In Christ,
      Sr. Kathryn

  918. please pray for my son to find work. he is unemployed and without medical insurance. please please o blessed st joseph help our family also for my daughter that needs a home for her and her daughter also pray that we might see our grandchildren

    • Art,

      I hear the worry in your words and in your heart for your family. I will be praying to St. Joseph with you with great faith that he will provide for your family.
      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  919. Please pray for me as I look for work and succeed in my recovery from alcohol adn Saint Joseph’s help in restarting my life.

    • Joe,

      St. Joseph must have felt that his life was messed up several times: when Mary showed up in Nazareth obviously with child, when he lost Jesus in Jerusalem and he and Mary couldn’t find him for three days, when he died early and had to leave Jesus and Mary to fend for themselves….. I think he discovered that in all of the messes of life God provides because God is always looking for ways to help us discover how much we are loved by him. I know that if you ask Joseph for the grace to be faithful to all God desires of you and for you, he will provide for you.
      Sr. Kathryn

    • Joe, If there is a Celebrate Recovery group through your church or in your community you might want to check them out. It is a God centered group and I know it has helped many people.
      God Bless you in this struggle, my friend.
      Dani MarieBernadette

    • Dear Jeannie,

      Today on St. Joseph’s feast day I will be praying especially for you and for all who are asking St. Joseph to help them. Tell him that he knows what you need. He often doesn’t answer the prayers in the way we expect. But he will provide for you in the way God knows will be the best for you.
      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  920. Please Sr. Kathryn help my son Jason. He is sitting on $70,000 in school debt and is still in school. He has a video game addiction and I fear he is more involved in that then in school. His girlfriend has almost as much debt. They are both good kids, no drinking or drugs. They just don’t know how to manage money. I have enabled Jason for years by sending him money, but I have stopped. I feel horrible and guilty for not helping anymore, but I am wanting to retire in 10-15 years and need to be able to support myself when that day comes. Please pray to St. Joseph for me that something will happen so my son can finish school get a job and not have to pay off such an enormous debt. I’m sorry, this seems selfish and I feel selfish for asking for an intervention.
    I also wanted to thank you Sr. Kathryn for praying for my brother-in-law who has terminal brain cancer glioblastoma multiforme. He seems to be more himself these days. the chemo is tough on him and my sister because of the nausea. He likes milk shakes, but it is tough to find anything else he likes. they have stopped the steroids which were making him aggressive and he has never been aggressive. Thank you again, and God bless you.

    • Bryce,
      I am grateful for the news about your brother-in-law. Praise God! I will pray for your son. It’s hard to give tough love to others. In the end we can’t live another’s life for them. Send St. Joseph and your guardian angel to watch over him in school. Let us pray.

  921. I am in desperate need of St. Joseph’s help. Please pray that I may make good decisions regarding my mother’s return home with good care; please pray that a property situation may resolve successfully and soon – it has been ongoing for over a year and it involves the transfer/division of property owned by my mother; please pray that there will be no conflict with sibling/spouse over this property situation; please pray that there will be peace within me and peace within my family. Thank you.

    • Dear Jim,

      Yes, I will pray. These can be sticky situations and much hurt can come from them. In tonight’s novena to St. Joseph I will recommend you to him in a special way. I will remind him that as he would have wanted someone to care for Mary (when he could not since he had died first), he must understand your own care for your mother. Peace.
      Sr. Kathryn

  922. I come in the name of Jesus asking for intersession for my son Matthew who is so stressed out from college ready to graduate in may.

        Thank you for all of your prays

    • Dear AnnMarie,

      I do understand such stress from my own life experience. While St. Joseph certainly didn’t have the same stress, it certainly must have been stressful to find out you’d be the father of the Son of God, whether or not there was a test!

      May St. Joseph bring all the angels of heaven to the side of Matthew in these days!

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

      • Thank you Sr.,

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

    • Dear Sony,
      I can hear the sorrow and worry in your heart for you husband. Mary I’m sure understand, because she herself must have worried when St. Joseph was struggling to provide for their family when they fled to Egypt. We will be praying to St. Joseph in our daily novena for your intercession. Sr. Ann

  925. This request is for my sister. She is really short tempered. Even though justice is with her, she will argue badly with only close relatives like mom n dad and brothers and sister.

    i think she needs more attention. aged parents hurt by her words. they will be in tears….

    so she asked to pray for her to get rid of this attitude n behaviour. please pray St joseph to give patience and good behaviour.

    • Dear Suma,

      St. Joseph is a powerful intercessor, and he was also a very gentle person. Let us pray together for your sisters. Sr. Ann and Sr. Kathryn

  926. For Captain Honors, Admiral Rice, Admiral Spicer and Admiral Horton and their standing in the Navy after each has given over 26 years of service to our country. Please Saint Joseph. God knows they are all good men intercede for them.

    • St. Joseph, guide each of us at every moment in our life. Give us the grace to blend wisdom with compassion and integrity. I will be praying through St. Joseph’s intercession that this difficult moment becomes a space where grace takes hold in each of their lives. Sr. Kathryn

      • Hi Sister Kathryn, How are you doing? you are such a blessing to all of us. Thank you for all you do for us. There is a movie coming out on Feb. 25th called “The Grace Card’ and if there is any way for you to get it you might really enjoy it. It is supposed to be an uplifting movie about faith and the gift of grace. How is your health doing? I am praying for you.
        Love, Dani MarieBernadette

      • Dear Dani,
        I am fine. Lately have had alot of new challenges in ministry which have taken alot of time to pray and learn my way through. So I’ve been more quite than usual. If I see the Grace Card around I’ll try to see it. Today I spent the day in chapel, soaking in the silent, brilliant light of the Risen Lord’s majesty. I will pray for all tonight in my novena to St. Joseph, Sr. Kathryn

  927. Please pray for the school board at my school to grant me a sabbatical. Through the intercession of St. Joseph please let them rescind my resignation and grant me this sabbatical. Please Dear St. Joseph through your prayers and in the name of your most precious Son..please let this come to fruition. The school board will be voting on this soon. Thank you. Amen

    • Dear Lauren,

      St. Joseph was in some tight spots in his life so I’m sure he understands. I will be praying for this grace for you. In the meantime you might want to ask him to guide you into something unexpected…. It was the unexpected in his life that became his greatest glory!

      Sr. Kathryn

      Sr. Kathryn

      • The school board refused our request to rescind my resig. and grant me a sabbatical–they were under the advice of the solicitor…we were told by a source the board would have granted me the request. We are being encouraged to continue our fight. Please pray for this. I don’t know what to do and it has been a very trying and complicated time… I never in my life would have dreamed that this would happen to me. I am at a loss. My faith is truly being tested. I have prayed endlessly and sent out 100s of prayer requests..I know God is giving me strength..but if I was called to be a teacher…why has it been taken away from me?? Please pray that some sort of solution comes to fruition because I am end the end of my rope.

  928. My sister in law is hospitalized. She is having tumor on her spinal cord which is very close to brain. As per the medical statement this position of the tumor is high risky .
    She is having a surgery on Friday 14th Jan 2011.

    Please pray for her to have a successfull surgery and a good health after that.

    thanks

      • Sr. Kathryn, thanks for yours prayers. my sister in law’s surgery went well.

        According to doctors, the surgery is “almost success” . only 60% of the tumor removed. rest is in complicated places. can’t remove that. the removed parts, they will send to biopsy and the result will come only on this thursday. (20th of jan).

        Please do prayers to get a negative result.

        once again thanks to you bringing us close to St Joseph.

      • I will be praying for a negative result, and if there is a positive result I pray that St. Joseph will wrap both of you in his mantle and take you under his guidance. He has many things to give you and teach you.
        Sr. Kathryn

  929. My boyfriend, Chris, and I are facing some difficulties in our relationship. Please pray that God guides us through and that we become a stronger couple. Please pray that our relationship is made official and that all our family and friends and colleagues are happy for us and supportive of our relationship. That the love that Chris and I have for each other grow stronger and deeper every day. Please pray that God draws us into marriage and that my marriage to Chris is filled with lots of love and peace and joy and that God guides and blesses us in our married life together. thank you!

    • Stefanie,

      Mary once prayed this same prayer, when she knew that Joseph knew that she was with child. There certainly was some difficulties in that relationship! Or so it seemed…. Turn to Mary and ask her to help you mature even more in holiness and openness to God’s sweet guidance. I will pray for you. Sr. Kathryn

  930. I am need of prayer. I need to pass my Real Estate Exam. Please pray that i pass the exam the first time.
    I go this Thursday to take the exam.

    • Dear Tonya,
      I am sorry I just noticed your prayer intention. I will hold you in my prayers to St. Joseph this week. A Blessed Christmas! Sr. Kathryn

      • Sr. Kathryn,
        I was just going back over the list and offering prayers when I came to this post.and I just had to smile.
        Isn’t it wonderful that God is not restricted by time or space, and he knew you would eventually see this request, pour your heart out in prayer, and he took that into consideration. 🙂 I love the graciousness of God.
        Have a wonderful weekend.
        Dani MarieBernadette

  931. Please pray for my brother-in-law Tim Miller who has a terminal illness. He is such a great person and loving husband, father, and grandfather. He has Glioblastoma Multiforme stage 4 and has already had surgery. With chemo and radiation and all the meds he takes, his taste buds have been altered so very much. He is on Caring Bridge at TimJMiller. Thank you for all your support.

    • Dear Bryce,
      I can hear the concern and love you have for your brother-in-law. Suffering is a mystery, particularly when it strikes unexpectedly and it affects other people so intimately. Joseph understood that as he travelled with Mary to Bethlehem, Mary understood that as she stood beneath the cross. They BOTH understand you now. Release your worries, tears, even your anger into their hands. Expect miracles from them…miracles of hope, of mercy, of understanding, the little signs of light and hope in the midst of something that may not be able to be changed, miracles of reconciliation, of laughter here and there to lighten the load, unexpected gifts of love, the gift of tears. I shall pray this Octave of Christmas for you and Tim. Sr. Kathryn

  932. Please pray for the restoration of my teaching job. Please pray for all involved to be filled with the Holy Spirit and compassion for my plight. I was called to be a teacher by God. Please pray that I can return to my job/vocation. I offer up all of my recent sufferings for the special intentions in my heart and for the Holy Souls. I also thank God for all the blessings in my life. I ask all of this through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior and through the intercession of his Immaculate Mother.

    I am a wife and mother, teacher. Due to a series of unfortunate events I have had to make this prayerful plea. I love teaching and believe I was called from a young age to be a teacher. I have tried to be the light and love of Christ to the teenagers I taught for many years. Please please pray for me to get through this dark time.

    Thank you and God Bless.

    • Dear Lauren,
      As I pray this Octave of Christmas before the manger for the intentions of all who have shared them with me, I will remember you. Three persons discovered their vocation on Christmas: Joseph became a father (foster-father with the duties of father), Mary became a mother, Jesus because one of us. Pray to them that they will help you be able to live your vocation. And if there are some changes in the dream of God for you (as there were for Mary and Joseph) ask St. Joseph to help you understand these and embrace the new direction of your life with great love. I shall pray for you.
      Sr. Kathryn

  933. i need prayers to save my marriage. My husband and son say they are moving out in a couple of weeks. My son has been very difficult to deal with at home for the past two years. My husband does not help to discipline him when he has been abusive with me. My husband is also saying we have to sell the house. We have an 18 year old daughter with a disability, also. She does not want this to happen either. When I was angry I told my husband to leave. This was because of our son’s behavior and my husband’s lack of disciplining him. I have asked him to forgive me for saying this and try to work things out together. He is not doing this. I pray that God will soften his heart very soon and he will understand what a mistake he is making. We have been married for over 37 years. PLEASE PRAY FOR US AND OUR FAMILY. THANK-YOU!

    • Dear Joyce,

      My heart goes out to you at this most frightening and difficult time. I can’t even imagine what you must be feeling…anguish, fear, sorrow, sadness, remorse. To pray trustingly and to think clearly are what you need the most, but they are the most difficult things to do under these circumstances. St. Joseph experienced anguishing situations, but learned in their midst that he was cared for by the Father in heaven. Often he had to learn that God would care for him in ways that were unexpected. God is at work in this messy situation. God promises to be with you in the midst of every pain. I have learned first hand that this is true. I will pray to St. Joseph with you that in some miraculous way your marriage will be saved and hope will somehow emerge from what seems a frightening desert. Sr. Kathryn

  934. Sr Kathryn

    my house is being forclosed on in a week. Please pray that I can get the funds to get it back. I have a grown son who is mentally ill pleaes pray for him also

    • Peace.

      What a great anxiety you must be suffering. I will pray the novena to St. Joseph tonight for you. And for the peace of your son. I suffer with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and have a great compassion for those who suffer with mental or emotional illnesses as well as their families. Let us pray together that St. Joseph will find for you the best way to care for your son. A mother’s love reveals the heart of God to us all!

      Sr. Kathryn

  935. Hi, would you please really pray for me,

    I don’t know what kind of prayer I should do to really get help in my life. For my professional and personal needs.

    I have been trying to get a descent career in IT
    profession, in which I was trained and have years of experience and have a lot of passion. Yet, so far, for 2 years, I am still looking, and no offer comes to me. I am now working as a labor just to keep surviving this life. I prayed everyday, no favorable answer so far.

    I am also over 40, still single, and still looking. A year ago, someone nice started opening my heart by being so kind and friendly to me. I was so happy to find someone so kind and nice to me, and start falling in love, although I am still afraid to tell her openly. But, suddenly she started avoiding me, avoid talking to me, avoiding eyes contact with me, even we are working in the same environment. I am devastated, for losing a friend, and losing a hope for winning the heart of someone special .

    I don’t know what kind of evil I am that make me deserve such a painful life. I know that I am not a saint, but, I don’t know if I am such a bad person to deserve this kind of pain.

    Could anyone help me find a way so I can get a descent career in my profession and also win the heart of someone special to me? I am so tired with my life, it’s so painful.

    Would anyone care to pray for me? Anyone that might be able to knock the heaven’s door so our Lord will be willing to really help me?

    SSL

    • SSL,

      My heart goes out to you. You may not have found the answer to the prayers you have said for the direction you want to take for your life. St. Joseph also had his life plans completely changed. His secret is that he was listening for God to show him a new way. When the angel appeared in a dream and told him to take Mary, a pregnant virgin, as his wife and he would raise God’s son, he did as he was told. God is speaking to you. God is pointing out to you a way for your life. He is revealing to you the mystery of the mission for which you were born. I will pray that St. Joseph will help you hear your dear Father’s voice. I will remember you in my daily novena.

      • Sr. Kathryn, thank you for praying for me.

        Let’s see where our Father will guide me to. I am convinced that leading, inspiring, and guiding the other is my main mission in this life, and my education, skills in relation to my profession are set for that mission, as He already helped me prepared in all my life. But, I still need more guidance, help, and the right chance, at the right time & place, that has not come so far. Besides, isn’t He who said that ‘Ask, and you shall receive’. So, I am asking again, and again, for a decent life, career, and someone.

        SSL

  936. My eight month old grandson Gabriel somehow scratched the cornea of his eye and he cannot see out of it. Please pray for healing for him. My brakes went out and need to be replaced or repaired. I also need new tires as mine are bald. I do not have the money for my regular bills let alone this. Help me Saint Joseph.
    Thank you for every blessing that you have already seen to for me qand my family. I love you.

    • Dear MarieBernadette,
      St. Joseph loves to hear a “thank you” and to those who have the sensitivity to see his gifts of love in their lives he will continue his care. I will remember you in my daily novena to St. Joseph.

      Sr. Kathryn

  937. Dear St Joseph,
    Please help me. Please take care of my personal & professional worries. I am going through lot of insecurity. Please save my job and my marriage. Please take care of my family.Please help me in my current financial situation. Please relieve me of my worries and remove all obstacles in my professional and personal life. Please save my job and my position. Please let me get a good job with good salary in my daughter’s school. Please give long, happy & healthy life to Mr.P.J.Joseph, Valsamma, joji,rhea.

Ajit & I have long happy married life. Please let me have a strong healthy second baby. Please take care of my family. Please help in my intentions placed before Thee. Please intercede to Jesus for me.

    • I join you in prayer in my novena to this great saint today. Joseph teaches us that often God takes our lives in unexpected directions, but God is always beside us where we are, as a loving and dear Father. Entrust your needs to him and then ask him to guide you every step of the way.

  938. Hello my precious friend in Saint Joseph,
    Saint Leo University made my son stop his schooling (after a term and a half) to suddenly get his ACT test. He is not the most motivated student so please pray that he will study hard for the test and pass it and then can resume his studies at the University. He has been out of school now for a few months and cannot take the test until mid December. Ask Saint Joseph to be with him in his studies and testing so he can get back to school. He actually misses it. 🙂 I have just finished my term with B’s, as did my daughter Jackie. I have no immune system due to two rounds of chemo two years ago and three rounds of pneumonia a year ago and I was sick for three weeks in October. I am thankful that I did not have to go in the hospital. Well I will go now but not before asking Saint Joseph to bless you abundantly.
    Dani MarieBernadette
    Please keep me in your prayers

    • Peace.
      St. Joseph understood how important his preparation had been as a youth, when he entered into the mission God had prepared for him. God has a mission for your son also. We entrust to Joseph your son’s life and ask this great saint to steer him in the direction that will best prepare him to carry out his place in the Father’s plan of salvation. May he also care for your health. How he must have been concerned about Mary. Ask him for that same concern with Mary’s same trust in his gentle presence.

  939. Please pray for me. I am going through lot of tensions in my personal & professional life. There is lot of politics & bitchiness in my office. Please pray that my professional problems be solved. Please let the management realise the politics being played by the Principal & Education Counsellor against me. Please pray that my good reputation & image may be restored which has been tarnished partly because of my stupid immediate reactions & partly because of dirty politics of the my Principal & Education Counsellor. Pls bless the people who are trying to usurp me. Please protect me from the mean. please help me in my difficult situation. please let me make good impression upon all people I meet and talk to especially my seniors and my colleagues. Please help me in my current financial situation. Please relieve me of my worries and remove all obstacles in my professional and personal life.

    Please save my job. Please intercede to Your son Our Lord Jesus that I may get a good job with a good salary. I need a good job desperately. Please save my job. Please let me get a good job with good salary in my daughter’s school. Please take care of my personal, professional & financial tensions.

    • St. Joseph understands what it is to learn throughout life. He learned at the best of schools: Jesus and Mary were his teachers and guides. He encourages you to let Jesus and Mary guide you each day of your life. I will remember you in prayer.

  940. Dear Sr Kathryn,
    My relationships have never worked out for me.I have never been married but I pray I will find a good wife that I can grow old with me. I pray to St Joseph all the time but he seems to be very busy! Please pray for me at this time.

    • Yes, I will pray for you. St. Joseph understands your desire for love. I’m sure he also desired love as strongly as you. He found such solace in his love for Jesus and Mary who was at his side in raising the Son of God. Ask Joseph to help you love Mary and to learn from them both how to grow in authentic relationships of giving and self-forgetfulness.

  941. Sr. Kathryn, I am so thankful that you are going to pray to St. Joseph for me. I have great faith in St. Joseph and I do honor him in my home.
    We are going through some very serious financial problems and there seems to be NO way out of the rut we are in. Everything seems to be closing in on us and so much so when I sit to pray I can not focus on anything I am praying for as my mind goes all over the map and I am worried. I can not understand why I am being so misplaced in my mind but I am just so wanting to get out of debt and to get back on our feet so I/we can continue to go out and do good for others like we have been doing.
    Our cup is so empty that it is next to impossible to fill anyone else cup and that is so sad for me.
    I have a dream to open a tea shop and serve people with love, but right now if only we can pay our mortgage and bills it would be a miracle.
    Thank you for being so kind to me and my family.
    God bless you.

    • Peace.
      I will pray that you find a way out of your problems. St. Joseph must have experience the worry you speak about when he discovered Mary was with child. God sent an angel to reassure him. Ask St. Joseph for such an angel for you: to calm you and reassure you. Tell Joseph that you are totally dependent on his loving care.

  942. Dear Sr Kathryn, we got our family in a situation with out a home we turned to st joesph and prayer. We prayed,beg and cried for help. Iam feeling very despondent and hopeless.. My mum is telling us to go, its been over two months in her home. and how im no good etc. Iam really hurt. THis is the most stressful time in our life, when will st joesph answer our prayer?
    My mother goes to church everyday, helps the church several times a week and more. does this mean she is good and that her prayers are heard and answered, and not mine.
    We rushed and bought a very run down house that we can not live in because my mother said she wouldnt have us over her house.
    We are so unhappy with the place. we have a opportunity to apply for a loan but we need to sell this house and have my mothers patience.
    I offer to help my mother with spring clean( clean ceilings etc ) but she says no.
    Where did our relationship go?

    • This seems to be a very complicated situation. Sometimes we get ourselves into situations that are very painful and seem to have no way out. I am wondering if St. Joseph might be giving you cues on directions to take that would be constructive. I will pray that you will hear them and find new directions in your life.

      • How do we hear St Joesph or God? How will I know? or am I not hearing or accepting? If i accept a way bu what if t I can not see the hope? I have two beautiful boys that are very attached and when we are stressed it becomes very hard. Iam really appreciate your correspondence. It really means a lot durning this time. I see now that my faith was not as strong as i thought. that slowly over the years, i had neglected it.

      • Hi. I can share with you a bit of my experience. I have learned to give myself over totally to God’s loving designs for my life, to embrace whatever that mission may be. If I do this day after day, what the author of Abandonment to Divine Providence promised is really true, God takes one’s life over and directs it. I do not “hear” him, I know he is in charge, much like a magnet, and good things happen. This doesn’t mean everything goes right. I fail, I fall and break my arm, I had a stroke at 21, I have TLE, I have made mistakes and been misunderstood, but I have a profoundly peaceful realization that I am loved and held and that my life has meaning.

        I hope this helps.
        Sr. Kathryn

      • I go to the adoration which i find peaceful but the memories are painful. we are abandoning ourselves to the divine will. but it is still painful. deeply wounded by family at a time we really needed help. the home did not sell, so thats where God wants us to be. The memories of this time are still painful, feeling abandoned, that maybe God forgotten or abandon us or doesnt want the best for us. Thats the hardest bit.

      • Peace.

        I hear your sorrow and the pain you are feeling in between the lines of your note. Let us pray together that St. Joseph adopts your family as his own…you will be like members of the Holy Family. He is caring for you in the midst of all this, though it may be hard to see, difficult to open yourself up to what he might be offering you as solace in a painful situation. He is there. Tell him you need a father’s care, security, and guidance and he will give it to you. Jesus felt abandoned on the cross, how much St. Joseph would have wanted to take that feeling away from his Son. St. Joseph now can help you open yourself to the horizons of God’s vision for your life and help you find the care God is showing you even now.

        Sr. Kathryn

    • Hello Sr Kathryn,
      Im finding prayer hard at the moment.

      My hope is Depending on God completely to change our jobless/home/marriage circumstances.

      My faith has become much fullfilled in the last year, than it has in over
      a decade. I confess, recieve holy communion and go to church and when i can to adoration.

      But lately im empty, ive got nothing.
      Why did things go so wrong in the last year? if for our sake , then
      i needed the future to be better. My hopes were so high and i believed
      Jesus would help us.

      Still committed just im empty and its just a awful feeling.

      God Bless

      • Dear Friend and child of God,
        I will pray to St. Joseph for you in your trial. The Gospel reveals to us that St. Joseph was a just man which meant he was totally faithful. Yet, he too, suffered darkness and anguish in mind and soul and in the upheaval of losing his job, failure to find a suitable shelter for Mary and Jesus in Bethlehem, and suffering the trials of being a refugee and traveling back to Nazareth. Our life here as seen in the life and examples of the Holy Family is mixed with sufferings and joy. Pray to St. Joseph, to strengthen you and sustain you in your darkness of feeling empty in prayer. The saints frequently encouraged their loved ones to persevere in their usual practices especially in times of desolation. St. Joseph is a friend and a father. And Jesus is always with you and taking care of you even when he seems to be far from you. Pope John Paul II said in his encyclical on the Christian Meaning of Human Suffering” that in Jesus Christ’s suffering we were redeemed and that the mystery of human suffering, if borne for the love of God, is redemptive in and through Christ. You are being sustained by his grace. May you experience comfort in knowing you are embraced by Jesus and our Father in heaven. We here at this site pray for one another and we will remember you in our on-going novena to St. Joseph. God Bless!

    • St. Joseph can teach you so many things, but most especially how to love and how to follow the plan God has dreamed for your life. Trust him.

  945. Please pray for Joseph that God would bless all his projects and place genuine, helpful persons around him. Please also pray that God would daily provide all of Joseph’s needs and guide and protect him from all forms of evil. Please also pray that God would bless every area of Joseph’s live. These I ask in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

  946. Please pray that God would provide me with a well-paying job with a reputable firm or organization in a peaceful, respectful and cooperative atmosphere.

    matters. These I ask in the loving name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

  947. Please pray that I will be healed physically, mentally & spiritually. Please also include my family & friends in your prayers— that God will give them good health, blessings, guidance, peace & reconciliation.

  948. Every night and day, I always ask for good health, happiness, stress-free, debt- free, achieve our goals, and a bright future to my parents, siblings, friends, & myself in my prayers.
    At this moment, I am desperately in need of help on a failed business that I just recently took over. I need to become a successful business owner & tell everyone that i can do it with God help & never fail on everything I ask for. Let me be free from all the huge debts, monthly lease is around $3,500 and it goes up every 3% each year, that is not include any of the expenses, such as water bills, electricity, phone bills, and many product items that need to be order every time when in need. (Sighs) I promised that I will pay back to my dearest parents, siblings, and friends who helped me on this business once it is successful. I am looking forward move on freely with my next goal & achieve it. Please, pray for me. I will be waiting for your answer. Thank You for everything.

    • St. Joseph, hear our prayer. Help us hear God’s guidance in the plans we make. We trust you to help us find true sanctity and the grace to live in peace. Help us when we are desperate, in our every need take care of us. Amen.

  949. Saint Joseph,
    Please hear the prayers of Sr. Kathryn, and all the people who have requested prayer on her website, and bring us all closer to Jesus and Mary..
    Ask Jesus to send her lots of hugs, kisses and wonderful surprises this week.
    Thank you for everything Saint Joseph…

  950. Dear God, I pray for my beloved brother Joseph Hung who is a cocaine addict. Please GOD, through the intercession of Saint Joseph, please heal my beloved brother physically, mentally, spiritually and grant him grace and strength to overcome his addictions. Please forgive his sins and heal his soul too. Thank you GOD.

    • Cecilia,
      St. Joseph holds your brother’s hand and will care for him until he arrives before the throne of God. Keep telling St. Joseph that you need his help. He will not disappoint you.
      Sr. Kathryn

  951. Please help me pray to St. Joseph that our home gets rented soon. Our tenant broke her lease and I am pregnant and we had to leave that home for my husband’s job and we can’t sell it. We are so scared to lose our good credit if we can’t afford to pay the mortgage on it without a rental income. Please help us St. Joseph. it is such a stressful time.

    • Peace.
      I will remember your needs in my prayers to St. Joseph. Trust that if not a flower in the field or a bird in the sky is too small for your Father to take a personal interest in, neither are you. Joseph teaches us this.
      Sr. Kathryn

  952. Please help me pray to Saint Joseph for my beloved brother Joseph Hung who is a cocaine addict. He has been in drug rehab many times already but he still cannot get out of this drug addiction. Because of his drug addiction, he has committed so many crimes and has been in and out of jail for so many times that I cannot remember all. He has been living a very miserable life. Please pray for him and that I may see him again. Thank you and God Bless!

  955. Dear Sr. Kathryn,

    I need your help to find a good wife. Many years ago when I was in high school, I had a girl friend which I went out for three years. My cousin was very jealous of me having someone and she had no one at that time. As time went on we broke up. I went to post secondary school thinking I will find a new girl friend, but it never happened, until this very day I have been single, this is twenty one years later. My cousin, who is now married with three kids must have cursed me, never to find another girl friend. It is a very lonely life. My friends and family can’t figure out why I don’t have someone. I go different places and do different things but it seems there is no one out there, I am not fussy and I am not looking for a model. I prayed many years to different Patron Saints, even to St. Joseph with no luck. I feel I am either praying incorrectly or the curse my cousin must have placed on me can not be stopped. Could you please help me solve this problem, if it could even be solved.

    thanks,
    Sheldon.

    • Sheldon,
      I am led to ask you to pray to St. Joseph to show you the direction God has in mind for your life. Maybe that is a strange prayer, but there may perhaps be something you’re missing in your search for a wife. St. Joseph discovered that after you lay your plans, God has something in mind that is better. He just might have something special to show you.
      Sr. Kathryn

    • Good advice also, you may join in your church single group. Try to . be busy like attending a gym club. Good luck

  958. Please pray for me that I will soon be able to get into my profession. I am an IT professional with years of experience, descent education, and strong work ethics, yet so far I am still looking for the right job, beyond my current survival job. Pray that I can overcome my despair, pain, and loneliness. Pray that I can be well accepted by people around me.
    I have been praying for years, but so far I am still waiting for a breakthrough. Pray that I can soon get the descent career of my dream, and also win the special person’s heart.

For her live in relationship with one of her two children’s father to grow and for them to marry. For my son Robert who was molested when he was a young teen by a male neighbor, and who not only had no real father influence in his life, but whose father was a horrible influence and now my son believes he is homosexual.
    For me to achieve a sense of discipline and balance in my life. For me to grow in faith and trust and for my soul to be healed. Thank you Sister.

    • Dear Marie Bernadette,

      How a mother’s heart must suffer! I think it is a mother’s heart that most teaches us of God’s own heart! I will certainly remember your family in my prayers, praying that St. Joseph will become the true father of your family bringing healing and good sense to all.

      Sr. Kathryn

      • Sr. Kathryn, I just wrote a note about how St. Joseph filled my coffers 🙂 after sending it off I came to this page. I had completely forgotten that I had made this prayer request in May. Thank you so much for your prayers and please keep us in them. Last time I mentioned my children were just beginning college. They are doing really well so far. Jackie comes over and I have enjoyed having them study together around my table so much that I enrolled in college too. Not bad for someone who is turning 62 in a few weeks. 🙂
        Thank you dear Sister for being there for us. Keep those prayers coming please and I will do the same for you.
        dani MarieBernadette

      • Dear Marie Bernadette,

        I so appreciate your promise of prayers! And I am so happy to hear about how things are going. Let’s pray for each other to dear St. Joseph.

        Sr. Kathryn

    • With immense pleasure will I pray for the Franco family and entrust them to the firm yet gentle hands of Joseph, the head of the Holy Family.

  960. I currently have my home on the market and would like to sell it by Friday, Apri 30, 2010 in order to get a $6500 tax break, which would be of much needed help to me. The house is in good shape with nice landscaping, but I can’t seem to find the right buyer. I would like to move closer to my family and friends and have a home in mind that I believe I would be very happy in. Please pray that I find this special buyer, who will also find happiness in my current house, and will make an offer and sign a contract with me by this Friday, April 30th, 2010. Thank you so much for your prayers.

    • Dear Joanne,

      I hope that you have experienced Joseph’s care for you, either in the selling of the house or in some unexpected discovery of God’s providence. I will be praying for you.
      Sr. Kathryn

  961. My niece’s marriage is in quite a mess due to her husband. Only a miracle can heal that marriage and let the grace and abundance flow through it again. The husband needs to change.

    • I will recommend him to St. Joseph as a mentor and guide…. He could inject the selfless love upon which a marriage can flourish and thrive.
      Sr. Kathryn

  962. Pray with me that St. Joseph will help my daughter and son-in-law find employment. My daughter completed her teaching credential program last May and will earn her Masters in Education next month but has yet to find the full time teaching position she needs to make her credential permanent. My son-in-law has been struggling since his family-own business failed.

    • Peace.

      I will be praying in my daily novena to St. Joseph for your daughter and son-in-law. There is an audiovisual reflection on a miraculous prayer to St. Joseph on youtube if you would like to join me in prayer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KATMUie5fNI

      Trust in him, because he never fails to obtain what we need. He too is a father.

      Sr. Kathryn

  963. Please pray that my relationship with all my children grows better and deeper; but especially with my last daughter. Please pray that she would not give in to the negative influence of her friends.

    Please pray that my house renovations be completed well, and that I can pay for it. The roof, ceiling, master bedroom and bath, kitchen cupboards, linen closets, bedroom closets, all need to be re-done. And there are bats in the ceiling. And the rubble drains need to be cleared, so that the water seepage will stop. It’s been about 5 years and 2 contractors now – one contractor cheeated me – and it is not finished, and I’m uncomfortable.

    Please pray for the success of my immigration plans; and that I would have enough money to do it comfortably without undue stress on my family.

    • Dear Veronica,

      May St. Joseph the Carpenter of Nazareth give you wisdom in your projects for your house and may the Foster Father of Jesus give you wisdom in your parenting. I will begin a novena for you.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

    • James,

      Yes, my prayers are promised for your situation. You must share the anxiety that Joseph had in caring for Jesus. You must have a good heart. Trust Joseph’s providence and care. Look for tiny miracles in the way Joseph transforms your perspective and provides opportunities.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

    • Tonight I will begin a novena to Joseph for your intentions and the intentions of everyone who has left them on this blog.

      Tell him he must help you. Sometimes you need to be direct with him. Tell him he is your only hope and that you trust him just as Jesus did as a child. Then really do!

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  966. I don’t know what to do in my life.I really don’t know.I feel stuck and scared.I am really scared in my life.My heart is fluctuating.My whole body is shaking with fear.My Parents want me to get remarried.I don’t know what to do.I am scared about it.I feel lonely .I don’t want to hurt my parents because they have already heard enough because of me.Please do take care of the flat .Parents are worried because its work is not yet started.

    • Peace.

      Tonight during the Way of the Cross I will pray that Jesus who also was afraid will hold you in your shaking anxiety. Marriage is a very important commitment, on so many levels, as you show that you know. I realize that your situation must be complex. But I pray that St. Joseph will help you think clearly and be careful before entering into such a profoundly intimate and trusting relationship that has lifelong consequences. He also realized the seriousness of this commitment to Mary. Let us trust him.

      Blessings,

  967. Dear Sr. Kathryn,

    I believe I have been doubly blessed in this moment. Firstly, I have been praying for many months to find someone holier than I to pray for me. I can’t believe the tremendous generosity of your offer to pray for complete strangers! The second and related blessing is that in just the last few days, I have been lead to pray to St. Joseph for my special intention. I think he has guided me to you for this very special prayer.
    I am looking to meet my husband soon. I am 30 years old and each holiday and season that passes without this person in my life feels like time lost. For almost eight years (since my last serious boyfriend) I have prayed constantly for this intention. I have prayed to many saints and recently prayed a 54 day Rosary Novena. I have received great comfort from these prayers, but still time passes and nothing seems to happen. St. Joseph was the man God trusted to be the spouse of Mary. Do you think he would understand my desire to begin my life with this man soon? If so, would you mind praying to him for me? I appreciate your prayers and St. Joseph’s consideration, knowing that my problems are not as serious as those of many he hears from.

    Humbly and gratefully yours,
    S

    • Dear S,

      I’ve read your note and the deepest desire of your heart to find a husband. I will definitely pray for you. I think today of Mary who lost her son on Calvary and who had to go home for the first time completely alone, with no other member of her family on this earth. Mary will understand your desire and she will get together with Joseph to help you.

      I will start a novena for you tonight.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

  968. Please pray for my family. My parents are 90 and father was just placed in an Altzheimer’s Unit. My mother is beside herself. They have been married nearly 70 years and apart very few time. Please pray for them both.

    • Dear Bette,

      I think St. Joseph must have been worried too when he was ready to leave this earth and knew he was leaving Mary behind. For sure he must understand your Mother’s feelings as well as your Father’s. I will pray for both of them to St. Joseph and I know he will be present with his calm and trust in God’s care for us all.

      Sr. Kathryn

  969. Please pray for the health and well being and happiness of my family.

    Please pray that our business always stays busy with work.

    Please pray that my daughter Angelica is accepted to all of the colleges she applies to and makes the right choice for her on where to go.

  970. Dear Shelby,

    I can sense your strong disappointment. Joseph was a foster-father of Jesus. He also must understand your sorrow since he often must have looked at Jesus knowing that this child was not his “biological son.” Our hearts and our entire being cry out to give life. I will pray to Joseph this afternoon for you. May he guide you into the marvelous plans God has for you to participate in the mystery of the world’s salvation! And in those plans you will find peace.

    Sr. Kathryn

  971. Dear Sister,
    Please pray for us. My husband and I are trying desperately to start our family. We just found out last week that my left fallopian tube is now blocked, even though it was normal one year ago. We’re seeking to start our family in whatever way God wills it, but I’m struggling to accept that we may never have biological children. Please pray for peace and acceptance. Thank you!

  972. Please pray for us. Due to loss of income we can not pay all of our debts and pay for groceries every month. We are so scared that we will lose our house. I can’t take the scareness and fear i live with every day. Thank you, Laura

    • Dear Laura,
      I am praying for you. Tell St. Joseph that you trust that in whatever happens he will protect and guide you into safety. I am sorry for not writing earlier. I fell and broke my arm which has slowed me down. I will pray the novena for you today.

      Sr. Kathryn

  973. We need to sell our home fast.. It has been on the market for over 6 months and I lost my job a few months ago. We are having a hard time paying our bills with only my husband working. We have asked St. Joseph to assist us on a prior sale of our home and he came through! I am asking for prayer that our home will sell soon and that I find suitable employment. I believe St. Joseph will intercede and send us the perfect buyer and that we will find the perfect place to live thereafter!
    Thank you and God bless
    AL

  974. Dear Sister,
    Please, please pray for us. I am scared. We need to find a buyer for our home very, very quickly. If we do not sell it soon, we will be foreclosed on. I do not know what we are going to do or where we are going to go. We desperately need a financial blessing. Thank you for praying for us.

    • Dear Donna,

      St. Joseph will find you a home. He had to leave his own home and flee o Egypt, but he nevertheless provided for Jesus and Mary. He will do he same for you. Tonight I will pray the novena for you. When you are afraid, ask God to send you an angel to comfort you and lead you.
      Sr. Kathryn

  975. Can you, please, fervently pray
    For COMPLETE RECONCILIATION with my loved one NEBOJSA
    That we MEET and TALK, THAT GOD FORM LINES OF GOOD COMMUNICATION BETWEEN US, KEEP US IN HIS CARE and HELP US TO WORK OUT ALL PROBLEM
    That Nebojsa DOES NOT GET INVOLVED INTO ANY NEW RELATIONSHIP, but THAT WE START AGAIN, continue OUR WAY TOGETHER and officially get married!
    God gives promises, and I know He is FAITHFUL!
    I am sure when your prayers join mine will surely receive a miracle. I am praying with Faith and please help me in this.
    Thank you very much. God bless you. I pray for you. Praise the Lord for He hear prayers and answer on it.
    Kaca

  976. Dear Maria,

    St. Joseph lived in many dire situations in his life. He knew the desperate feeling of love for his family in uncontrollable situations. So I believe St. Joseph perfectly understands your prayer and will pray with you to him, such a good father for us all.
    Sr. Kathryn

  977. I pray for my and my grandson that no one will hurt them and they will stay together as father and son. I pray that FRO will erase arrears based on a young man not knowing his rights. I pray for a peaceful settlement between him and his x partner.
    I pray for good heatlh and financial help. I pray for my close friend in Guelph that she iwll sell her home fast.
    I believe in St. Joseph and all the saints.

  978. My daughter was let go from her job because she was having problems with depression. She hasn’t had any luck finding a new one. Please pray for her that someone will give her another chance. It is really difficult since we are paying her bills.
    Mary
    Kansas

    • Dear Mary,

      I will be praying for your daughter. I myself had a stroke when I was 21 and suffered severe mood swings and depression for 18 years after that before being correctly diagnosed. It must be difficult for her and difficult for you. Today I will turn to Joseph and ask for comfort and light about how best to help your daughter in this struggle. He struggled with his own sadness and depression when he was aware that Mary was going to have a baby. It probably seemed as if his whole world was coming apart. He understands. Let us pray for truly the best answer for her health, wholeness, and holiness.
      Sr. Kathryn

  979. Please pray for a job for me. I got Saint Joseph for a patron saint this year (during a New Year’s retreat), and interestingly enough, it’s the first year since I was in High School that I haven’t had a job (my contract on my last job ended just before the Christmas break 2008). I’ve found some clarity in other things, but now things are getting pretty tight with money and I’m starting to worry. I came upon this site looking for miracle stories about St. Joseph and found this prayer blog. Thank you so much for your prayers.

    • Dear Roy,

      For sure Joseph will take you under his care. But I feel that you might want to think about how God redirected Joseph’s life. He probably thought he needed to put Mary aside quietly for his own benefit and for hers after he found out she was with child. God directed his life in a whole other direction. And look where he is now. Without this new direction to Joseph’s life, Jesus wouldn’t have had a foster-father and we would never have known Joseph. I pray that Joseph help you discover God’s will for you in this. Is it a setback or is it a crossroads. He will lead you.

    • Dear Cherubina,

      I pray with you that St. Joseph guide you in your relationships and protect you always in all you love. May he who loved Mary so much show his fatherly love also to you.

      Sr. Kathryn

  981. Dear St. Joseph,

    Please pray for my family and my marriage to be healed. Pray for all outside influences on our lives to be banished. I pray that my husband has an awakening and realizes that he is hurting God and his family with his actions. Please pray for him to return to the head of our family and my husband by my side. Amen

    • Ann,

      May Joseph be the man of your family who brings about peace. He was such a sensitive man. Go to him with everything and he will understand and care for you. I will pray to him for you today.

      Sr. Kathryn

  982. Dear St. Joseph, please help me! Heal my body, my soul, my relationships. Please wrap me in your arms close to Baby Jesus and take care of me too. Please, dear St. Joseph, pray extensively for me and give me signs of your help. I am lost. Please grant me the way; do not delay. Thank you

    • Dear Giulia,

      I can hear the plea for the presence of St. Joseph in your prayer request, he would offer you compassion and kindness in all your needs. I will pray for you tonight in my hour of adoration.

      Blessings,

      • hi sister kateryn,
        Please pray to st joseph for me to find employment either a few short term higher up positions as there is a job i would love to get but i would need up to date references and be employed to get it. or for a number of up to date references or a full and part time min wage job to live.either way the will of God soon Praise God
        Please reply to me email so i know that someone is praying for me to get a job soon.

  983. Dear Saint Joseph,

    Please bless my brother Tuyen Do so that he can breath normally without the breathing machine. No infections, no fevers inside his body. Please bless doctors and nursed who take care of my brother so that they will successfully treat him well.

    I ask these in the name of Jesus, Amen.

    • Peace.

      I will join my prayers to yours to good St. Joseph for your brother that in all things you may find peace and be assured of the presence of God in this situation. I often wonder what St. Joseph would have done at the foot of the cross. He had died before Jesus’ public life. It would have been difficult for a father in that place, as it was painful for Mary. Tell St. Joseph that you are standing at the foot of your brother’s cross and need his help. I will pray with you.

      Sr. Kathryn

  984. Father, my partner will obey Your command. Please stop his bad intentions and hatred towards me and our children. Make him realize and repent for his wrongdoings and pains he had caused us. Lord, place a hedge of torns around him so that people with bad intentions and influence to destroy our family will leave him. Lord, place us in his heart and mind. Please show him his way home to us and make him a good father and husband. Please stop him from transferring our properties to other people.

    Lord , heal my diabetic and my amputated toe. Make Niccolo walk again. Lord, You only say the word and we shall be healed.

    Lord, I ask for Your mercy to dismissed the case filed against Mickey. Lord, I pray for those who filed this case to withdraw it. Lord, guide him and take him away from evil people with bad intentions and influences. Lord, remove his bad temper and make him a loving boy.
    Lord, I pray for Patrick to concentrate in his studies and help him pass his exams at UST. Make him a good person.

    Lord, I pray for Paola that she would love more her family.

    Lord, I beg of You to remove all the temper in us that have been blocking the love we had sometimes.I pray for peace and love in our family.
    Lord, I pray for guidance, may my children finish their studies and be successful to become Your children.

    Lord, help my brothers and sisters and guide them to a better life.

    Turn our pains, fears and anger into praise of your goodness.

    Lord, give me a peace of mind, understanding patience and happiness in my life.
    Grant this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Lord, forgive our sins and thank You for all the blessings You showered us. Amen

    • Dear Joy,

      I pray that St. Joseph will provide the fatherly presence both you and your children seem to need and bring conversion for your partner. I encourage you to pray the prayer presented on this website. And today, I am at a retreat house, I will pray it particularly for you and your intentions. God has blessed you with faith and a strong spirit. Bless you,

      Sr. Kathryn

  985. I pray that St. Joseph will get me a new car or a newer model. My 2003 has had it with repairs becoming more numerous and expensive. I have been offered an older car with less mileage but that is not enough since I need to keep this one for years to come.

    ST JOSEPH HELP ME PLEASE!

    PJ
    Missouri

    • I guess St. Joseph probably would have appreciated a car when he was fleeing Herod! This afternoon when I pray before Jesus in the Eucharist I will say a special powerful novena prayer for your intention, PJ. I’ll pray also that he gives you calm, hope, and courage.

      Blessings,
      Sr. Kathryn

      • Hello Sr. Kathryn
        I am a young women living in Canada trying to build my life and I am at the moment living with Sisters. I am in the process of looking for a rent apartment in the area where I live and it is not easy to find. I just got a job after looking for 10 months and now I am in the process in looking for an apartment. I like to ask you for your prayers and the intercession of St. Joseph. I need a home for myself as I have never had my own space before and I am so ready. I was a Sister for 6 years, I left as the community was not a happy one and now I am on my own. So I like to ask you for your prayers where the Good Lord wants me to live and according to my budget. thank you for your time and God bless you! 🙂 Ludmilla,RECE

  986. Please pray for my mother. She is being treated for metastasized brain cancer. This is her 6th bout with some form of cancer since 1987. Mom is also trying to be brave for me because i am falling apart after losing my job. I am so depressed and fear that at my age no one will ever hire me and that my prior work experience will not be relevant. Although married, I have been the primary financial providor. I apologize to our Lord for not being thankful for the things I do have and for want the Lord to resond now. I’ve said numerous novenas and have stopped praying as I have not felt any relief or hope. Please pray for me.

    • Dear Kathy,

      Tonight when I pray night prayer before retiring I will remember your mother and pray for peace for her and for you. It is so hard to watch other’s suffer. Tell Joseph what it is like for you and tell him that he must help you both with strength, courage, and comfort.

    • Your mom will be ok. Just beleive. Our greatest test in life is when we are tested wiht out love ones. You have to be strong and place your fate….remember it is alway….. his will not mine

  987. You are in my prayers. I often tell Joseph, “You know what it is like to provide for a family, so please, help me now, because I need to make a living also!” If in the end you can’t find a priest around you to speak with I could connect you possibly with a priest to speak with by phone to get you started. Let me know. Blessings, Sr. Kathryn
