Submit or update your intentions for Nine Holy Masses, St. Joseph Novena.

March 11-19 – Day Two.

“I took St. Joseph for my patron and advocate, and I recommend myself unceasingly to his protection. I do not remember ever to have asked anything of him that I did not obtain.” ~ St. Teresa of Avila

Dear Friend,

On Day 2 of our Novena to St. Joseph, we reflect on our patron’s power as an intercessor for us in heaven. Great saints like Teresa of Avila had full trust in Joseph’s concern for each individual’s wellbeing – and with good reason. Why would Joseph not express a diligent care for all the sons and daughters of the Church? He raised the Son of God! 

That deep love for Christ’s faithful is an expression of St. Joseph’s love for the Church as a whole, the Mystical Body of Christ. Joseph had custody of the sacred human Body of the Child Jesus; he cared for Him as diligently as all good fathers on earth could possibly care for their beloved children. 

We are not only sons and daughters of the Church but children of Joseph in a special way due to his fatherhood of Christ. So we turn to him in all our needs with the confidence of St. Teresa of Avila in his intercession. Joseph will never disappoint us!

Let’s join together and pray this novena from March 11-19. If you haven’t already done so, please sign up to receive the Nine Day Novena by submitting your intentions. St. Joseph will be favorable to all who ask his help! 

Yours in the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
