Go to St. Joseph during the novena in preparation for his feast day...

Go to him just the way you are.

There are a lot of people giving up - or at least tempted to do so.

Go to St. Joseph instead.  Tell him about yourself and ask him to help you.

You like sin?  You're not able to break with it - because you maybe don't really want to?

You want to be left alone?

Tell him.

Ask him to help you.  Just to help you.

He knows what you need.

He's an ordinary saint - he is also a wonder-worker - but never be intimidated.  He's a guy, a man, a friend, a dad ...

I just read a couple of blog posts and it sounds like some people might be on the verge of giving up.

Catholics have a lot of rules and a lot of people want to make sure you know you aren't living up to them.  You feel like crap because you can't measure up to other's expectations?

Tell St. Joseph and ask him to help you.  Remind him every so often during the day.  Go to him, saying:

Remember, O most chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary, 

that never was it known that anyone who implored your help 

and sought your intercession were left unassisted.

Full of confidence in your power 

I turn to you and beg your protection.

Despise not O Guardian of the Redeemer my humble supplication, 

but in your bounty, hear and answer me. Amen.

Thank you O holy father St. Joseph.
