Saint Joseph: Help for Life's Emergencies

Many people today know about Saint Joseph as a "real estate agent" — plant a statue in the front yard of a house you are trying to sell, and you'll get results fast. Or so the stories go. The other day a woman told a friend of mine, also a Daughter of Saint Paul, that twenty years ago she had urgently needed to sell her house. She had been told by a friend to bury a statue of Saint Joseph in her yard. However, one of our sisters urged her instead to set the statue in a place of honor in the home and to say a novena to the saint asking his intercession. Well, her house did sell, and twenty years later she reports that she has had a strong devotion to Saint Joseph ever since. The statue of Saint Joseph purchased so long ago is still enthroned in her home.

Not simply a handbook on how to sell a house, this book is an essential guide to devotion to Saint Joseph. Others who have discovered the power of his intercession will lead you — through the stories of Joseph's powerful help in their moments of need — to place yourself under the guidance and protection of the head of the Holy Family. And, yes, they have sold their houses. They have found jobs. Bills have been paid when there was no money. Families have been reconciled, and loved ones have had a peaceful death. And the stories go on and on. We trust that you, too, will have your own story.
