The Holy Cloak of Saint Joseph Novena is to be recited on thirty consecutive days in memory of the thirty years St. Joseph spent in the company of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. If for some reason you
cannot recite the prayer on a particular day, you may make up for if by reciting it on the 30th day as many times as the recitation was missed. The extraordinary graces obtained by this prayer are innumerable. St. Teresa of Avila said: "If you really want to believe in it, prove it to yourself by reciting the Novena and you will be finally convinced" It is most efficacious to say this prayer for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. With the same solicitude that we help dry the tears of the suffering
souls, so too can we hope that St. Joseph will help dry our tears in our necessities. In this way, St. Joseph's Holy Cloak will spread itself over us and will serve as a shield against all those dangers which beset us so that we may one day, with the grace of God, obtain eternal salvation.
