PRAY FOR US

9. Our personal experience
From the beginning of lockdown
period I was not able to concentrate
in my studies. I used to spend 4 to
5hrs in front of my book but nothing
used
to go in my head, I started praying to
St Joseph for help , after few days of
praying I started feeling better and I
was also able to concentrate and
study for a long time without getting
bored. I am really thankful to St
Joseph for helping me during my
hard times .

10. Our personal experience
When I was 4 to 5 years old I was having viral
fever then on the church feast day there was a
dance programe and I had to particepate then I
prayed to St Joseph then I was miraculously
cured then I was able to particapate in the
programme.

11. Our personal experience
St Joseph has inspired me since my 5th
standard. I had been very weak in maths and
I used to take time to cop-up with the
problem sets. Whereas my friends were
always ahead of me. I knew if I keep doing
nothing there won't be any meaning for it , so
I started working hard. The patience of St
Joseph amazed me and inspired me. The
same way I worked hard paitently and solved
every sum 10 to 15 times it really shows me
that how I worked hard for what I needed ,
As St Joseph worked hard for what Mamma
Mary and child Jesus was in need.

12. Our personal experience
St Joseph has changed me in a lot of
different ways.
Saint Joseph was obedient. Joseph
was obedient to God’s Will
throughout his life.
Saint Joseph was a worker. He was a
simple craftsman who served his
neighbors through his handiwork. He
taught his foster son Jesus the value
of hard work.
He taught me to work hard and be
obedient.

13. Our Personal Experience
St. Joseph is a role model for fathers.
He worked hard as a carpenter and he
devoted his whole life in serving God.
He risked his life many times while
being with Mother Mary and Jesus. We
should learn to keep faith in God like
he did, to accept God's will and be
happy with what we have.
