St. Joseph Novena Day 1 – A Special Intention for Discerning Hearts

Would you please consider adding to your intentions for this novena, a special intention:

“for the Spiritual and Temporal Needs for the ministry and mission of Discerning Hearts.”  

We have never before asked our listeners to join us in such a specific need for our ministry, but we now humbly ask for your help.  We believe, first and foremost in the power of prayer. St. Teresa of Avila said that whenever she had serious needs, she looked too good St. Joseph, who never let her down.  So we  follow her example at this critical time.  Thank you and God bless.

St.-Joseph-258x300
O glorious Saint Joseph,
faithful follower of Jesus Christ,
to you we raise our hearts and hands
to implore your powerful intercession
in obtaining from the benign heart of Jesus
all the helps and graces necessary
for our spiritual and temporal welfare,
particularly for the grace of a happy death
and the special favor we now request…

(State your request here.)

O guardian of the Word Incarnate,
we feel animated with confidence that your prayers
in our behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God.

O glorious St. Joseph,
through the love you bear to Jesus Christ
and for the glory of His name,
hear our prayers
and obtain our petitions.

Amen.

DAY ONE

O great St. Joseph,
with feelings of unlimited confidence,
we beg you to bless this novena that we begin in your honor.
“You are never invoked in vain” says the seraphic St. Theresa of Jesus.
Be you then to me
what you have been to that spouse of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and graciously hear me as you did her.

Amen.

Saint Joseph, pray for us!

  3. St. Joseph gave us this house almost 20 years ago, and now I ask for the temporal means to fix our kitchen and laundry room so that we may better serve all those who come here for hospitality.
    Thank you, St. Joseph. I love you.
