Hello,

So…I’ve been led to ask for St. Joseph’s intercession lately. Today before work was one of those times. I asked him that he would father me as a part of God’s fatherhood, and that he would make me willing to listen to the father figures in my life.

Then a crazy thing happened. A few minutes after I got to work, one of the older guys told me that he was going to show me how to use some of the equipment that nobody up to this point had shown me how to use. Then, I heard him tell my manager that after teaching me some more, he was going to get me certified on some equipment. I even heard him say that he would retire and give me his full-time hours (I am still part-time.). He may have been joking about that last part, but still!

The moral of the story is that I think St. Joseph has a vital role to play in our lives, perhaps especially for men (though I have no doubt that he cares about women just as much). If you feel you need a father figure in your life, ask for the intercession of St. Joseph. God the Father may be quick to respond!
 
I always had an especial reverence for St Joseph. he’s the quintessential figure of a man who gives up all his personal ambitions for God. he does it with grace and love. he was Jesus’ father on earth, he was Mary’s protector, he died in their arms. he is the patron saint of a happy death, of workers, of families and homes, there is very little that the Lord will refuse this great soul. I admire him for his qualities of service to Jesus and Mary all the ,while asking nothing for himself. I have often prayed to him for the grace to love Christ more,
 
St. Joseph was for many years the best and only friend I had. He is absolutely amazing, and he will always respond, typically in a practical no-nonsense sort of way.

He is the reason my husband has his job. St. Joseph’s intercession obtained us our house. And in the great Tohoku Earthquake of 2011, our house was the only one in the neighborhood that did not have to be repaired.

I love you, St. Joseph! ❤️

AMEN!
 
St. Joseph has helped me through difficult times at work, when I just felt like what I was doing was useless except for getting me a paycheck.

I’ve always thought of him as the “strong and silent” sort of saint. He just helps people. No fuss. 🙂

Thank you, St. Joseph!!

St. Joseph is often forgotten as a patron saint. When my husband left me and I lost my job I was very, very lost. For 3 months I couldn’t find a job. So I prayed to St. Joseph to please help me find work. I told him I needed his support since I no longer had a husband to help me. I got a job within a week.

When the job got so difficult that I was afraid I’d loose it, I prayed to him again. With in a week the work got easier and my productivity went up. Now I offer my work up as a thank you. Each piece I put my best into as a way of honoring a hard working Saint.
 
St. Joseph was the man the Holy Spirit trusted enough to let share a house with His mate. Respect.
