Miraculous 9-Day Novena to St. Joseph for Desperate Needs

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interests and desires
Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.
Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls – Pray for me.

Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, On earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread, And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen

About St Joseph

St. Joseph, though born into the royal family of David, lived a humble life as a carpenter until God elevated him to the highest sanctity. Chosen to be the spouse of the Virgin Mary and the foster-father of Jesus, he was described in Holy Scripture as a just, innocent, and pure man. Despite his initial fear upon learning of Mary's pregnancy, an angel reassured him, dispelling his doubts.

When King Herod sought the life of the infant Jesus, Joseph obediently fled with Mary and the Child to Egypt upon receiving divine guidance in a dream. Later, directed by God in another vision, he returned to Nazareth. On one occasion, when Jesus went missing for three days, Joseph and Mary found Him in the temple, where He declared His divine purpose, yet remained obedient to His earthly parents.

Although Scripture does not mention Joseph beyond this event, it is presumed he passed away before Jesus' ministry began. One can imagine the solace Jesus and Mary provided Joseph in his final moments, attending to him with prayers and comfort.
