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

Since I came to Canada in September 2000, I have moved twice. I first lived in a townhouse and then I moved to a raised ranch type house and after 5 years, I moved to a 4 level back split house which was not really far away 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.

I have a blessed St. Joseph statue so I placed it by the window in my dining room, facing the front lawn and the street. I then wiped a bit of the Holy Oil of St. Joseph on it. I don't know why. I just felt like doing it. I prayed that my house be sold quickly to the right buyer at the right price and asked God to answer my prayer according to His will. I then prayed a nine-day novena to St. Joseph. And what happened was my first house was sold after 10 days and my second house after 12 days!

I have nothing against burying a St. Joseph statue upside down as some people do when they are selling their house. As in all other religious rituals, I look at it less as performing the suggested ritual to exact specifications but more as a leap of faith, believing that St. Joseph will pray for us if we we ask for his intercession.

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

We all know that there are other factors involved in selling a house fast and at a good price such as the state of the economy, a private sale as against using a real estate agent , etc. But I believe that when it comes to praying for a house to be sold quickly at the right price, it has a lot to do with one's unwavering 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.
