‘If you listen to me, you will know what is right and fair’ (Proverbs 2:9)
Joseph was a man who listened. Constant noise prevents us from listening and hearing our friends, family and God. Joseph knew how to be silent to allow God’s Word to come through to him. No spoken word is recorded of him.
In our world today, we are surrounded by noise and distraction. Our spiritual senses become numbed by the intrusive noises of television, vehicles, mobile phones, tablet computers and various other paraphernalia of modern technology. Is it any wonder we do not hear our friends, family and God?
St. Joseph, show us how to be silent and to listen to God in the stillness of our hearts.
Let us come together in faith and prayer, even from a distance. Feel free to invite your family and friends! See you online!
Novena Prayer to St. Joseph
Ever glorious St. Joseph, good and faithful servant, God was pleased to place his own family in your care.
We thank you for being such a wonderful example of humility and faith, of prayerfulness and courage, in your ordinary daily life.
Through your intercession, may God grant us the blessing of living continually in his presence, and responding to his love in our daily lives. And when we have lived our days on earth, may God give us the great joy he gave you—that of entering eternal life in the company of Jesus and Mary.
Most loving St. Joseph, accept our Novena prayers and obtain for us through your powerful intercession, the favours and graces we ask for in
this Novena.
Pause to call to mind your special intentions…
St. Joseph, Pray for us.
Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory be…
