Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Please say a prayer for us. We are looking for a new house and I just saw one I just loved. Could you tell me who is the patron saint of houses? Please say a prayer that the Lord would open doors for us if this house is the one for us.

Thanks,

Natalia

Good old St. Joe! You could probably modify the following prayer for purchasing a home or discerning whether to buy:

PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH FOR SELLING A HOUSE
O, Saint Joseph,
you who taught our Lord
the carpenter's trade,
and saw to it
that he was always properly housed,
hear my earnest plea.

I want you to help me now
as you helped your foster-child Jesus,
and as you have helped many others
in the matter of housing.

I wish to sell this [house/property]
quickly, easily, and profitably
and I implore you to grant my wish
by bringing me a good buyer,
one who is
      eager, compliant, and honest,
and by letting nothing impede the
      rapid conclusion of the sale.
      
Dear Saint Joseph,
I know you would do this for me
out of the goodness of your heart
and in your own good time,
but my need is very great now
and so I must make you hurry
on my behalf.

Saint Joseph, I am going to place you
in a difficult position
with your head in darkness
and you will suffer as our Lord suffered,
until this [house/property] is sold.

Then, Saint Joseph, i swear
before the cross and God Almighty,
that i will redeem you
and you will receive my gratitude
and a place of honour in my home.

Amen.

Blessings,

Natalia prayers for you..    I soooo understand in fact Nissa that is one good prayer. I printed it out for dh today before he went over and cut the grass at the old house and 2 people stopped to ask about it. One wants it cheaper and the other thought it was a low asking price Annie
