A Month with St. Joseph
On the advice of a very dear lady, Donna Cooper O’Boyle, I have decided to pray a thirty-day novena to St. Joseph. Brian’s contract was abruptly cancelled this morning, effective this Saturday. I have been shocked by it, though Brian remains steadfast and confident. We have been down this road before and God always provides.
He has given us St. Joseph as a wonderful intercessor and friend. If your family is facing a similar difficulty, you can call on Our Lord’s foster father to be another voice for your petitions. This site has the loveliest online novena I’ve seen. It’s what I’ll be using.
Before I go, I just had to share. Being the goofball I am, and allowing myself to work myself into a state, I found myself searching for the 30-minute novena! OK, I’m a little impatient…
Please remember the other nine contractors that were abruptly terminated. Gives thanks for another day to do His will, and hug those babes.

I am sorry about Brian, that is very hard on you all… especially at this time of year.
I hope and pray you will both find peace… and work, soon

Hi Nissa,
I’m so happy that you will be praying the thirty day novena to St.Joseph. And guess what? I just started it, too for all of your intentions.
I will pray it along with you. After the thirty day novena, you should pray a thirty day one in thanksgiving — and you thought you’d get away with thirty minutes!!
Good St. Joseph will take care of you!
God bless,
Donna

What a great novena! So happy you found this one — it’s a special one for our family during good times and trying ones. I just found your blog and it’s a serious favorite! Thank you for being out there! –Anne Marie in Iowa
