To my dad, Joseph.
Hi! I’m Lucia.
Joseph Prays is my humble offering to St. Joseph,
born from a desire to make him known and loved.
After losing our parents to cancer, my sister and I took Mary as our Mom and Joseph as our Dad.
My sister's devotion to him was deep and she kept telling me and my brother-in-law, go to Joseph. And finally we listened. When I truly placed myself under his protection and asked him to care for me the way he cared for the Holy Family, everything changed.
He has never let me down. Not once. Joseph Prays exists to share what I found with anyone who needs a father, a protector, and a friend. He is all of those things. And he is waiting for you to ask.
Ite ad Joseph. Go to Joseph.
Our Mission
Joseph Prays shares the life, the virtues, and the powerful intercession of St. Joseph with anyone who is searching for a father's protection.
We gather the teachings of the saints and popes about him, share the stories of his apparitions and miracles, and offer guides to the novenas and consecrations that place you under his care.
We give voice to the silent saint, because his silence was never weakness. It was the strength of a man who knew that love does not need to be loud to be unshakeable.
I am not the first to say this.
I am following what the saints and popes have said for centuries. St. Teresa of Ávila said she never asked him for anything he failed to grant. St. Faustina said he looked at her with great kindness. St. Francis de Sales said God will refuse him nothing in heaven.
Ite ad Joseph. Go to Joseph. It is the oldest advice in the Bible, spoken first by Pharaoh about the patriarch Joseph in Genesis, and the Church has applied it to our Joseph ever since. When you are in trouble, go to Joseph. When you are afraid, go to Joseph. When the world is too heavy and you need someone stronger than you to carry it, go to Joseph.
