My college friend, Leni, emailed to give her share of favors from St. Joseph. It is timely because we are nearing March 19th, a major major feast of St. Joseph. I will quote in full:1. Granting of my passportAs you know this has been my biggest problem ever since we graduated.Many opportunities were lost because the Phil. govt continuedto deny giving me my passport insisting that I am not a

"Just as everything said in praise of the Blessed Virgin, as St. Jerome says, results in honor of Our Lord Jesus Christ, her Blessed Son, so everything said in favor of St. Joseph results in honoring Our Lord Jesus Christ, who honored him with the title of father, and in honoring Mary, whose truest and most chaste spouse he was. Our Lord wishes his holy tutor to be honored, and Our Lady wants

Our faith is anchored in the awesome reality that God is truly our father and that he loves us and contemplates us as a real father. It is the foundation of our faith and our Christian vocation. However, for some this reality is difficult to grasp. I wrestled with this truth my whole life. You see, Our Father understands human nature very well, so he reveals himself slowly to us. His

I completed my law degree at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon in 1999. Like the rest of my batch, I was to take the bar examinations in September of that year. The Philippine bar exam is a most difficult national exam because the passing rate can dip to as low as 20%.Needless to say, I went up to St. Joseph one more time to entrust the intention that I pass the exam. That

Editor's Note: This is a guest post from Denden Dy Thank you , Iris, for this website. Like you, I feel embarrassed for not doing more in spreading how Saint Joseph has been a good spiritual father to me. He passes unnoticed yet he is ever solicitous when it comes to helping those who call on his help. I bet he is also helping me even if I do not call on him. The Powerful Ancient

Patron of a Happy Death “Since we all must die, we should cherish a special devotion to St. Joseph, that he may obtain for us a happy death. All Christians regard him as the advocate of the dying who had honored him during their life, and they do so for three reasons: “First, because Jesus Christ loved him not only as a friend, but as a father, and on this account his

I applied for acceptance at the Dalhousie University masters of law with the expectation that I will be awarded a full scholarship. Funding my way through graduate school in a foreign country at that has never been an option for me. In fact, I was so careful with my spending that I only applied to one university. US$50.00 is a lot to waste on university application fees. So had Dal refused to

"I took for my advocate and lord the glorious St. Joseph and earnestly recommended myself to him. I saw clearly that as in this need so in the other great ones concerning honor and loss of soul this father and lord of mine came to my rescue in better ways than I knew how to ask for. I don’t recall up to this day ever having petitioned him for anything that he fails to grant. It is

I began badgering St. Joseph for his intercession about four years ago. He has been very powerful and faithful in obtaining favors for me. About that time, I also promised that I will tell the world how much he has helped me. Weeks passed, then months, then years and I never made good on that promise. However, last week I started to pester him with yet another huge favor. Then, I
