Novena Prayer

Heavenly Father,

You gave St. Joseph a share in Your fatherhood and placed him as a father to Jesus on earth. Help us to be obedient to Your will as he was. 

Teach us the way of prayer that we

may enjoy the friendship of Mary and Jesus as did St. Joseph. During life's hardships, give us courage to walk with those who need us that we may be enriched by their gifts.

Carry us through sufferings and

trials with St. Joseph at our side.

And may we look to him at the final

hour of death. We ask this through your Son, Jesus. Amen
