Testimonials

Our Singaporean company in the hardware industry had the opportunity to acquire a janitorial supply business that serves large multinational clients. This acquisition would triple our sales – a significant step forward for us.

With an investor lined up, we signed the Share Purchase Agreement, onboarded a new team to manage the transition, and began preparing to consolidate our other businesses into a larger warehouse, including giving notice to our landlords. Fr. Jo was also kind enough to give us his blessing for this undertaking last Tuesday.

However, a few days later, just before the final paperwork and payment were due, the investor withdrew as his advisors and family had expressed concerns.

This put us in a difficult position. We had already made commitments to our staff, vendors, and landlords. But at the same time, we wanted to respect the investor’s decision and prioritize our relationships by not pursuing a legal outcome. Unfortunately, further discussions to resolve the situation were to no avail.

On the morning of the feast day of Saint Josemaría Escrivá on 27th May 2026, my wife invited me to the Solemn Mass, and she reminded me to “strive first for the kingdom of God and all these things will be given to you as well.” We decided to attend Mass and dedicate this moment to Saint Josemaría and to the Church. We prayed for the intention of resolving the above situation at work, and for two other very important ones. Specifically, we asked for clarity and for the investor to make the right decision, whether yes or no, and for the grace to accept what comes next with peace and dignity for all parties.

After Mass, I received a message that the investor was available to meet. I made one final revision to the investment agreement, shared it digitally, printed two copies, brought a pen, and went to the meeting.

At the meeting, the investor received me with a smile and told me that the revised terms had addressed the concerns of his family and advisors. He was ready to sign. No further discussion was needed. Amazingly, the agreement was signed on the spot. He also confirmed that the payment would be processed the next business day, and it was completed without any issue.

What had been stuck for a week was resolved within minutes, and with a calm that was very different from the prior days.

At that moment, I remembered what was said during the Mass: that on this day we could ask any favor, because Saint Josemaría is a saint who has obtained many graces in Singapore.

Our family and friends see this as a favor granted through the intercession of Saint Josemaría Escrivá. It reminds us once again that when we place our work and decisions in God’s hands, He accompanies us and guides the outcome.

We are deeply grateful.

Last year, we had the blessing of attending Pope Francis’ visit to Singapore. During our time at St Joseph’s Church, we came across pamphlets for the novena to St Josemaria Escriva. I began praying the novena last month, and on the very day I completed the intentions for Work, I received an invitation to step into my dream role – serving as a Coach for Chronic Illness Warriors. It’s a space where people are empowered to reclaim their lives and find harmony in family, work, and personal healing. I’m deeply grateful for this novena being shared with us – it has truly been a grace-filled journey.

Dear St Joseph Church,

I prayed the ‘Novena for the Sick’ through the intercession of St. Josemaria, using the brochure I obtained from the Saint Joseph Church a few months back. My brother in law was having post operative complications from his surgery of appendicitis and colon in Singapore 2 weeks ago. His complications included leakage from the colon surgery causing infection. He was rushed for emergency second operation under a critical condition. After the second surgery, he was put in ICU with intubation for 3 days and the situation then was rather critical. Thank you Lord for giving my brother in law the instinct to decide to ask for second opinion from a second surgeon, for giving the wisdom to the surgeon and team of doctors to have that life saving and successful second operation; and for giving him the will power to fight during that critical phase when the odds were staggering against him after the second operation. Thank you Lord for your amazing Grace and for giving him a second lease of life. He will be discharged from the hospital this afternoon after 2 weeks of trials & tribulation. Praise the Lord. Amen.

My husband was diagnosed with cancer a couple of years ago. We went through so much but we continued to ask St Joseph and Our Mother Mary to pray for us and to help us. My husband is now on the road to complete remission. Thank you St Joseph for your powerful intercession to our Lord on my family’s behalf. Thank you for all that you have done for us. Thank you also for listening to my prayer requests. I will honor and love you always and forever! Please continue to bless, protect and heal my husband, AMEN!
