Before writing

What might be the structure of a letter to Saint Joseph?

The letter can have any structure but should contain the following elements:

1. A specific description of what you are asking for (thing or matter).
2. Arguments why it is important to you.
3. Possible commitment of what you want to give/give in return.


Proposed structure of the letter to Saint Joseph:
1. Greeting – like any letter, start with a greeting.
2. Request – describe it precisely (See: What questions should you ask yourself to write a letter to Saint Joseph? >>)
3. Justification – why do you need it? E.g. To create a good environment for children to grow towards holiness. To create a family faithful to God.
4. Commitment – make some sacrifice or action for this intention, e.g. fasting, prayer, activity for the Glory of God, start fulfilling the commitment immediately, do not wait for the request to be fulfilled.
5. Signing – it is important that you sign the letter, just your name is enough. In this letter, you give your word, you commit, and you are not sending it anonymously. Courtesy requires a signature.

The answer to all questions must be developed (added) as you answer subsequent questions.
