This novena is prayed for 30 consecutive days in remembrance of the 30 years that the great Saint Joseph would have spent in the company of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
The extraordinary graces obtained through this prayer are innumerable. Saint Teresa of Ávila used to say: "If you really want to believe this, prove it to yourself by reciting the novena and you will eventually be convinced."
Saying a prayer for the souls in purgatory is very effective. With the same diligence with which we help to wipe away the tears of suffering souls, we can also hope that Saint Joseph will help us to wipe away the tears of our distress. Thus the "Holy Mantle" of St. Joseph will spread over us and act as a shield against all the dangers that surround us, so that one day we may all, by the grace of God, attain eternal salvation.
