Saint Joseph Prayer Circle

Updated:

Margurita: I wonder if you would be kind enough to pray for my family we all have had a bad year  with bad health and need of stronger faith.
Becky:  I'm from the US and in need of your intercession. My co-worker, Eric, (and one of my closest friends at work) admitted to me that he is bi-sexual. At present, he is living with his boyfriend, Mark, of 4 years or so. But because of his position in our company, he told me he hasn't told anyone at work about himself. Recently our office held a team-building weekend at Big Bear. I only agreed to go after we found a way to go to mass that weekend. Most of us  did go on Saturday. Unfortunately, Eric found all sorts of excuses not to go that, eventually, I was too frustrated to even talk to him.  Since then, I've tried all I can to pray for the conversion of his soul. But something keeps stopping me from continually praying for him even the novenas I intended solely for him. Please help me pray for his conversion. Pray for me too that I may find the tenacity and patience to pray for his conversion and for all my other intentions, including my brother's problems with his wife and vice-versa, my pending papers with the INS, and my on-going diet for better health.  Thank you for your prayers...
Tito:   I have two petitions that I submit to St. Joseph. I feel like I have been in bondage over the past 33 years and I want that to end. I want to be free to work, to live life, to have joy and peace. I don't want to go into detail or engage in blame. St. Joseph can then fulfill the first petition I asked him.......I hope he hears and places my petition before the Throne of God and God grants him and me my requests....
Tom: Dear Friends of Brother Andre,     Could I please ask for prayers for Kathy, my wife, my children ( Bridget, Joe, Molly, and Patrick) and myself.  We all have problems.  Please pray for us and I will say a rosary for you and all who work with you until the end of June.  That would be the same time that I ask for your prayers.  Thank you
Bubb...: Please pray for my family for the many problems we have for my son that he is able to returm to school so he can graduate. Help him with his behavior problems foul mouth that the teachers will forgive him and let him return to school. For my son that is in jail. For my daughter that the adopted parents of her baby will contact her and send pictures.

Fr. Tom: Prayers please for Fr. Tom who has an operation tomorrow (30th April)
M: Our beautiful white feline pet became very ill on Easter Saturday. She would not tolerate diet and only had small amounts of fluids. The vet examined her and after blood test results, diagnosed her with a very high urea, which was causing kidney failure.  He said she could be hospitalised x 2 weekly. Treatment  similar to a human having  kidney dialysis,  but only on a temporary basis.  He advised us to have her put to sleep.  We have had Jess for twelve years since a tiny kitten.  This news had a devastating affect on me, my husband, my children and grandchildren. She did not appear to be in any pain, but showed   dramatic weight loss and was very lethargic.  I prayed very hard to two wonderful animal lovers St. Martin de Porres, and St. Francis Of Assisi.  Also Divine Mercy and St. Pio Of Pietrelcina. I  put St. Martin's and St. Pio Of Pietrelcina's relic near to where Jess slept. I can't believe it, but she has made a miraculous recovery and is tolerating diet and fluids, gaining weight and doing remarkably well.  She is also enjoying outdoor life in the garden and getting plenty of sunshine, when the weather is kind to us. We are so delighted she is still with us, when the vet advised us to have her  put to sleep. "Miracles do happen, even with animals."
Gincy: Im very sad right now!! I had a dream about my dog moti( who is in india) dieing!!.. I dont know what to do.. I am very sad.. I havent seen her for more than 2 years. I take care of her as a sister. I love her so much. she is my life... I dont know what to do... plsssssssssss pray that moti would be safe from everything and to have a healthy and happy life. pls put this msg in the prayer circle.
Catherine: Please St. Joseph hear my prayers.  First of all I am asking for forgiveness for all my sins.  I know there are many people in need of help but please do not abandon me at this time of desperation.  I feel like I've created a huge mess and I can't seem to find the light at the end of the tunnel.  I want my life to be peaceful and serene as it once were before.  Problems in my family and financial issues have really affected me and because of this I feel like I've become a terrible person towards my husband and my family.  Please help my parents understand I need their help and that they shouldn't judge me or be too disappointed in me.  I have no one else to turn to.  I often feel like a hopeless cause and feel the best thing to do is disappear so that I won't harm my family any more.  St. Joseph, please help me.
Sally Anne: Dearest Saint Joseph, Please look with mercy upon Tom, a man who builds things as you did.  I ask you to pray that the house that Tom built,  as part of his home building business, will be sold as soon as possible.  It is a wonderful home, built with quality and pride, but the right buyer has yet to come along.  The financial stress of having an unsold home, is putting a strain on Tom and his business, so your faithful prayers of intercession are needed and will be truly appreciated.  I ask this in the name of the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
Sheila: Prayers please for Sheila James and family.
Holly: I have an urgent prayer request…this one is very personal…my dearest friend has breast cancer, she’s just got us for a family… Dear Lord,  I’m not worthy of your mercies, your graces…I come before you with a broken and contrite heart.

As you know Holy Father a few days ago I had to sign a compliance letter agreeing to our divorce with my wife. I ask of your forgiveness of this unholy act. My Attorney's secretary told me it will be filed and recorded and in a few days and we will be officially divorced. I wish we could work things out between us. Please Father soften her heart as you did mine. I love you God and I love my Wife dearly. I can only imagine the emotional pain Your only Son and my Savior Jesus suffered from in the Garden of Gethsemane for our salvation was so much greater then mine is now.

The Good News:

Praise report

Mom G. Prayer answer daughter had surgery 4-19-02 for heart was done in 2 hrs in stead of 4-7 healing success. Praise the Lord...

Ruth I wanted to share with you, some good news I received yesterday.Two years ago, my husband was diagnosed with bladder cancer, a very aggressive tumour...the urologist thought the only  way to save him was to remove the bladder.
Every month from June to Nov, more tumours were removed.We put everything in God's capable hands. In Nov., to the doctor's surprise, the cancer seemed to have stopped spreading, so he decided to treat it with chemo, and try to save the bladder. The results were good,
and my husband was tumour-free until this January, when after another biopsy we were told that the tumours were back. Again, we put our faith in the Lord....and novenas were said. Yesterday, after a two-month wait (there is a long waiting list to get into the hospital here),
my husband went into surgery fearing the worst.To everyone's amazement and great joy, he has been given another reprieve. The doctor said that he couldn't find a thing!
I have already published novenas in our local paper, but was very happy to have been given the opportunity to share with others on the net.
Thank you, and God bless.

After six weeks ( or so ) the petitions will be moved out to here, the general prayers section, SO

>Thanks to all for your prayers.

Irma's Prayer

Most gracious and loving Father, Please grant and pray for the healing,
restoration and reconciliation of my relationship with my beloved boyfriend, Alex.
May his heart turn once again with favor, love and tenderness towards me and
may he forgive me for mistakes made in the past. May we rejoin, reunite and
renew under mutual respect, consideration and understanding and grow to love each
other more deeply. May Alex realize the value of the love I feel for him and
may he reciprocate to me in kind. May we recommit ourselves to love, honor and
cherish each other knowing that this kindness will lead to unlimited success
and blessings in all things. May we be fruitful and prosperous in marriage and
in all things with God in the center of our lives. In Jesus’ name, I bind,
with the Holy Spirit, all opposing forces; demonic, oppressing, discouraging and
negative influencing ones that try to hinder and stop this union. I command
you to go in Jesus’ name. Flee and go in the name of Jesus. What God has joined
together no man (or spirit) can turn asunder. I boldly and joyfully ask for
these blessings with expectation in the mighty name of Jesus!

My dear St. Joseph, I thank you for the past blessings I did not see, and I request that you replace my fear with faith for all endeavors and
situations, whether it be in dealing with my current home, or facing stressful situations. I long to believe in faith. In that vein, I dedicate
the last stanza of one of Anne Bronte's poems. Although she cries out to God, I feel this certainly applies to any of His Saints. It is as follows:

"Oh, heal me, God! For thou alone
Canst my distracted soul relieve.
Forsake it not: it is thine own,
Though weak, yet longing to believe."

I LOVE YOU. I LOVE JESUS. I LOVE THE BLESSED MOTHER.

O Glorious St. Joseph, Thou who hast power to render possible even things which are considered impossible, come to our aid in our present trouble and distress. Take this important and difficult affair under Thy particular protection, that it may end happily. (Name your request.)

O dear St. Joseph, all our confidence is in Thee. Let it not be said that we would invoke Thee in vain; and since Thou art so powerful with Jesus and Mary, show that Thy goodness equals Thy power. Amen.

St. Joseph, friend of the Sacred Heart, pray for us. Amen

O St. Joseph, my loving father, I place myself forever under thy protection. Look upon me as thy child, and keep me from all sin. I take refuge in thine arms, so that thou mayest lead me on the path of virtue and assist me at the hour of my death.

Remember, O most pure Spouse of the Virgin Mary, St. Joseph my beloved patron, that never has it been heard that anyone invoked thy patronage and sought thine aid without being comforted. Inspired by this confidence, I come to thee and feverently commend myself to thee. Ah, despise not my petition, dear foster father of our Redeemer, but accept it graciously.

Amen.

There is another prayer which I find most helpful. It is a novena, with the prayers/meditations said a number of times daily for nine days. I will not repeat it all here but you will find it by clicking :- HERE .

Thee, please come to my aid in my present trouble and distress before
Christmas. O dear St. Joseph, all my confidence in Thee. Let it not be said
