I would like to ask for a prayer or two as I am going through a very difficult time at my workplace right now. I live in the Midwest and have no family here. My family lives on the East Coast and have been communicating regularly with them but life is just not the same during the holidays and occasions. I am actively seeking relocation back HOME in the next year but my workplace is very negative and oppressive environment. I am blessed with a decent salary but there is a lot of corruption, nepotism, and favoritism which I have been experiencing on a daily basis the last three years. I know that money is not the only thing in life and have stayed at the job ONLY because I don’t want to leave the job and begin another here and then relocate a year later. It makes no sense to me. However, the work environment has gotten so NEGATIVE, and OPPRESIVE that I am really considering finding another position here as soon as possible. I know NO workplace is ideal but when you tell friends and family some of the things that go on in this supposedly professional work environment their question is: What type of place is it that you work? I now am suffering very real physical problems such a insomnia, vomiting, stomach issues, ect all due to the stress of the workplace. I am one of the best workers at my job so when someone doesn’t do their work, ect it is ALL PILED on me and I am the ONE that is reprimanded and put down because I just can’t do it all. Management is IMPOSSIBLE to talk to. The head of the department doesn’t care about any of us and avoids us at all costs. She will walk by your cubicle and say nothing. She ignores us and is quite nasty about us to our backs. It is a very OPPRESIVE department. I have TRIED to transfer to another department but am being blocked by management. I am very afraid of repurcussions and have decided that the best thing to do is either find another job here where I am presently living or wait and find another position next year when I relocate back home. I got up this morning at 2 a.m. with stomach issues and now have a 10 hour work day. I cant miss work and even had to carry over some of my vacation from last year. But there were those who used up all their vacation time and were paid for many other days even though they were not supposed to be. I am finally FINISHED once and for all with hoping for any change at this workplace. I just ask for a couple of prayers for God to open a door for the best option for me as I am running out of options. IT is sad but I have lived this workplace the past three years and now is time for a change. I have a very deep Catholic faith and find solace only in this right now. Thank you for your prayers
 
Praying to St. Joseph for you to have improvement in your work situation & for your intentions.
 
Prayer to St. Joseph:

Joseph, by the work of your hands
and the sweat of your brow,
you supported Jesus and Mary,
and had the Son of God as your fellow worker.

Teach me to work as you did,
with patience and perseverance, for God and
for those whom God has given me to support.
Teach me to see in my fellow workers
the Christ who desires to be in them,
that I may always be charitable and forbearing
towards all.

Grant me to look upon work
with the eyes of faith,
so that I shall recognize in it
my share in God’s own creative activity
and in Christ’s work of our redemption,
and so take pride in it.

When it is pleasant and productive,
remind me to give thanks to God for it.
And when it is burdensome,
teach me to offer it to God,
in reparation for my sins
and the sins of the world.

Amen.

Oh Lord, if it be Your will, let a door open to show Your servant where to go from here. But also help him realize that sometimes doors don’t open for a long, long time. Holy Spirit, be with him no matter what Your will is. St. Monica, pray for us. Amen.
 
PRAYER FOR GRACES

O Most Graceful Lord of endless blessings:
How becoming such a honorable title is!
Your splendored goodwill exalts the world,
Embracing it with love and protection.
Look favourably upon Your humble servant,
Continually bestowing upon me Your graces;
For Your Divine nourishment is my endurance.
Assist me at maintaining a state of grace,
My soul remaining enhanced in Your presence.
Daily, Your graces abundantly shower,
Especially towards your righteous followers.
Indeed, You are a Most Graceful God!
Amen.
 
Praying for you…
Our Father who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen

Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with thee,
Blessed art thou amongst women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb- Jesus.
Holy Mary,Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners now,
And at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father,
And to the Son,
And to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,is now and ever shall be,
World without end.
Amen.
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
