It was early in 2009 when I shared with a very dear friend, my concern for some important personal decisions I was facing. This friend casually suggested that I pray a Novena to St. Joseph. It was not long after that I followed that advice. The praying of this Novena to St. Joseph began a series of answers and divine interventions that set me on a totally unexpected course. The interventions began with a gentle leading to read the Holy Will of God. It seemed everywhere I turned a different book was in front of my eyes concerning the Holy Will. I was led to the point where I believed I was to pray specifically to find the Holy Will of God for my life through the Saint Joseph Novena. Actually, I was praying this novena over a period of several weeks. What this novena produced for me is one of the greatest defining moments in my entire life. It was during this Novena that the vision, instructions and formation of Servants to the World Mission was shown to me as well as Our Lady's fulfillment of Her words to me over 20 years ago. I was shown that now the To the World Music would be heard and seen throughout the entire world and in the many languages of the world. So much was shown to me, that all of my energies are now focused on accomplishing the mission They set before me. This Saint means so much more to me now than ever before. I will always encourage anyone who is seeking serious answers for their life, especially the Will of God for their life, to pray to this saint. I doubt St. Joseph will fail anyone who seriously seeks out God's will. Yes, he is more powerful than just for help in getting your house sold by burying him upside down in the ground!

A novena is a practice where a prayer or groups of prayers are recited for nine consecutive days for special intentions and petitions. The praying of a novena draws its origin from the practice of the disciples who prayed in the upper room for the nine days between the ascension of our Lord and the arrival of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
