Powerful novena to St. Joseph to recite in difficulty and ask for a grace

The novena is very effective for overcoming periods of depression, anguish, moral ruin, family disasters; to be enlightened in the most difficult choices to make; to be healed, comforted and to ask for any kind of help in the small or big difficulties of every day. If we want to obtain any grace from the Lord, first we must confess, then recite the novena for nine consecutive days and try to participate every day in the Holy Mass by receiving the Holy Eucharist as well as remembering the souls of purgatory piously.
