My family has been devoted to St. Joseph since long before I was born. My Grandfather would tell me stories about how St. Joseph protected the Holy Mother and baby Jesus, and those childhood memories taught me the importance of Faith in God’s will. His example of humility, courage, and charity has been a beacon of light in my Life for many years.
My dad was always special to me, and the fact that he shared his name with St. Joseph only made him more special in my eyes. I still remember how whenever people asked us about our father’s name, my sister and I would proudly proclaim, “Joseph! Like St. Joseph!” . We believed that there was some kind of spiritual connection between him and the patron saint of fathers, and it made us feel a great sense of pride. Furthermore, St. Joseph was also a carpenter like my father, which further increased my admiration for him.
As I grew older, my admiration for St. Joseph increased as I read more about him and his essential role in protecting and providing for Infant Jesus and Mary. His faith story inspired me to live out my Faith with love and devotion. From his example, I learned that trust in God’s will can bring great comfort even in difficult times.
Growing up steeped in the Catholic Faith, I fondly remember attending St. Joseph’s special novenas every week at our parish and making an altar dedicated to him in our neighbourhood chapel during his feast day on March 19. The feelings of joy and reverence that would come over me while praying to St. Joseph were overwhelming. It felt like he was there with me, listening to my prayers and granting me peace.
My childhood memories of St. Joseph remain close to my heart, and I take comfort in knowing that he is looking out for me wherever I go. Therefore, I dedicate all my ventures and professional assignments to the special patronage of St. Joseph.
St. Joseph is also the special patron of my Life’s Mission of ‘Little Goodness’, guiding me throughout Little Goodness Prayer World’s planning and development stages. His miraculous intercession and providence were a constant source of strength throughout my life, especially during the financial struggles for planning and execution of the Little Goodness Prayer Mission and the LGPW App.
I am so proud to have him as my life’s patron saint, and I will always be thankful for his exceptional care and guidance. I encourage others of all faiths to reach out in prayer to St. Joseph, too, for his caring spirit is one that knows no bounds. Together we can find joy and comfort in the power of his grace.
