Ways To Sell Your House Fast Without Burying A St. Joseph Statue

I became a permanent resident of Canada in September 2000 and since then I have moved twice. A townhouse was my first home and after a year, I moved to a raised ranch type house. After 5 years, I moved to a 4 level back split house which is only about a 5-minute drive from where I used to live.

I never had difficulty selling the 2 houses I lived in and when both houses were up for sale, I did not bury a St. Joseph statue upside down as was customary. In fact, in both cases, I was able to sell my house after 2 weeks at a reasonable price.

I am a St. Joseph devotee so I prayed for St. Joseph's intercession but instead of burying a St. Joseph statue, this is what I did.

First, I placed a blessed St. Joseph statue by the window in my dining room since this is the window facing my front lawn and the street. I wiped a bit of the Holy Oil of St. Joseph on it (don't ask me why, I just felt like doing it) and then I prayed a nine-day novena to St. Joseph. Of course I prayed to God first and asked Him to answer my prayer in accordance with His will. And the result: my first house sold after 10 days and my second house after 12 days!

I don't think there is anything wrong with burying a St. Joseph statue upside down as some people do when they are selling their house. Personally, I look at it less as performing the suggested ritual to exact specifications and more as a leap of faith, believing in St. Joseph's powerful intercession.

Francis X. Weiser pointed out in his book, "The Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs", that if these rituals are practiced in the right spirit, that is, based on the belief that the saints pray and intercedes for us, and without what he calls "unreasonable superstition", our belief in the saints' patronage and intercession provides "great consolation in temporal and spiritual need".

Surely, there are other factors involved in selling a house quickly and at a reasonable price such as the state of the economy, a private sale as against using a real estate agent , etc. But when it comes to praying for a house to be sold at the right time and at the right price, it's all about faith, not in the rituals one performs.

While I believe that performing a ritual is a good reinforcement for our faith, what really matters the most is having the faith that God hears and and answers our prayers always in His own time and in His own way, and that the saints are there to pray and intercedes for us if we ask them.
