St. Joseph Novena Prayer
Joseph, strong and gentle Saint, remember me in all my spiritual and material needs. Be my advocate before the Father and give me your confidence in His Wisdom and Providence, which will never fail me.To you I bring my heart and soul and all my longings. Sanctify them with your burning faith, your unfaltering hope and with that great, self-sacrificing love that was the secret of your holiness.Help me to do and to become all that God desires of me. Through your powerful intercession, may I know the blessed freedom of walking in the light of His Truth and obtain for me the strength to carry each day's burden with His grace. May my life be more like yours - a daily, dedicated offering in union with Jesus. Amen.
