Friend in need of work

Catholic Living Prayer Intentions
#1

Please pray for my friend who has been applying everywhere she can think of for work to provide for her family. Her most urgent need is to make it back home from visiting family in another state. They have been stranded there for a week and a half longer than planned b/c of car troubles that they’re struggling to pay for. She has little ones that are missing school and her husband is missing work as well.

I went to check in on the animals and saw a need for picking up. I am under the weather right now, but please pray for me to be restored to health so that I can help 2 other friends that I’ve rallied together to help me clean up her house for her return. Please also help us all to rally together to stock the fridge for her so there’s food ready to go when they return from the weary travels.

Please pray for God’s abundant blessings on this very precious family.

Prayer to St. Joseph for the Unemployed

O Saint Joseph, we pray to you for those who are out of work, for those who want to earn their living or support their families.

You who are the patron of workers; grant that unemployment may vanish from our ranks; that all those who are ready to work may put their strength and abilities in serving their fellowmen and earn a just salary.

You are the patron of families; do not let those who have children to support and raise lack the necessary means. Have pity on our brothers and sisters held down in unemployment and poverty because of sickness or social disorders. Help our political leaders and captains of industry find new and just solutions. May each and every one have the joy of contributing, according to his abilities, to the common prosperity by an honorable livelihood. Grant that we may all share together in the abundant goods God has given us and that we may help underprivileged countries. Amen.

Prayer to St. Joseph in Time of Distress

We come to thee, O blessed Joseph, in our sore distress. Having sought the aid of thy most blessed spouse, we now confidently implore thy assistance also. We humbly beg that, mindful of the dutiful affection which bound thee to the immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and of the fatherly love with which thou didst cherish the Child Jesus, thou wilt lovingly watch over the heritage which Jesus Christ purchased with His blood, and by thy powerful intercession help us in our urgent need.

Most powerful guardian of the Holy Family, protect the chosen race of Jesus Christ; drive far from us, most loving father, every pest of error and corrupting sin. From thy place in heaven, most powerful protector, graciously come to our aid in this conflict with the power of darkness, and as of old thou didst deliver the Child Jesus from supreme peril of life, so now defend the holy Church of God from the snares of her enemies and from all adversity.

Have each of us always in thy keeping, that, following thy example, and borne up by thy strength, we may be able to live holily, die happily, and so enter the everlasting bliss of heaven. Amen.

Please storm heaven with prayers for my friend and her family. I just received a text from my friend who says they’re nowhere near ready to come home. I asked her about getting a rental car and hauling her car back so her husband can at least go to work, but she states they can’t afford the gas or food when they get back. She is staying with her parents, but they must be unable to help. I’m just struggling to understand it all.

I have a handful of girls ready and willing to help clean the house and stock the fridge for their return, but I don’t know what to do beyond that. She states she had 2 interviews on Monday that she had to miss.

Jesus, mercy.

Thank you for your prayers, my friend was able to find work in her home state and their family is relocating. Pray for them as they work through the logistics of selling their home and finding the means to travel back for their things.

Please offer up another friend of mine and her husband who both lost their jobs yesterday. They just moved back a couple months ago. I pray above all that her husband can find work that will allow her to stay at home full time so she can finish school. She was working FT, attending school FT and caring for their 3 children.
