Hi everyone, if you would be so kind to read the entire post, I’d appreciate it!🙂

I was recently accepted to a graduate school program. I didn’t like this graduate school program at all, however I decided to attend since it was the only school in the area that accepted me.

I finished orientation this week and my 1st day of class is this Tuesday. The vibe I get from this school is it is out to swindle money from me. It is a for-profit school and the feel of it definitely feels like a business, and what I even found out is that the school as a whole is NOT regionally accredited.

Although they did say they were planning on getting regional accreditation, I have seen no evidence of this, so basically I’ll just have to take their word for it.

I was thinking of leaving this school, but if I decide to leave I’ll have to wait another year to apply to other schools, and there is also that chance that I won’t get accepted next year to other schools. If that happens, I would have basically wasted 2-3 years just applying/re-applying to schools.

If I decide to stay and the school doesn’t get regionally accredited, my long term goals of pursuing higher education won’t be possible anymore since I would need to be a graduate of regionally accredited school in order to pursue higher education.

On the other hand, I am on the wait-list for another school, which is my1st/preferred choice school, however I heard there are about 200 people on the wait-list.

Please pray for me that I make the right decision. Please pray that God Blesses me with great news, especially that I get accepted from the wait-list. Please pray for all those in similar situations as me.

I’ve grown stressed, depressed, worried, vomited, nervous breakdowns, and even thoughts of suicide had crossed my mind (don’t worry though I won’t). Furthermore, I do not want to disappoint my parents who have sacrificed so much for me, they really don’t deserve this kind of burden on their minds.

Please pray, really pray for me and my family, as well as all families. I thank you all, I pray for all of you each day, God Bless!🙂
 
Remembering you and your family in my daily prayers. God bless!
 
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.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular Pray3x, and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility
and Mother of Hope,
look upon Pray3x in this time
of weakness and unrest.

Teach her searching heart
to know that God’s Love
for her is unchanging and
unchangeable, and, that
true human love can only
begin and grow by touching
His Love.

Let your gentle Peace -
which this world cannot give
  • be always with her.
    And, help her to bring this
    same Peace into the lives
    of others.
Our Lady of Mental Peace,
  • Pray for us!
    Amen.
Jesus, Help Me!

In every need let me come to You with humble trust,
saying:
Jesus, help me!
In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations:
Jesus, help me!
In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials:
Jesus, help me!
In the failure of my plans and hopes, in disappointments,
troubles and sorrows:
Jesus, help me!
When others fail me, and Your Grace alone can assist me:
Jesus, help me!
When I throw myself on Your tender Love as Savior:
Jesus, help me!
When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good
come from my efforts:
Jesus, help me!
When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me:
Jesus, help me!
When I am ill, and my head and hands cannot work and
I am lonely:
Jesus, help me!

Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls and short-
comings of every kind:
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, help me and never forsake me!

Amen

If any course done at that school is useless to you,
Then why waste money going there.
 
The more blessings bestowed upon us creates more responsibility. We are taught to handle the responsibility with joy and be not afraid. The parable of the master who gives tallens to his three servents and one triples his money, the next doubles his money, and the third burys it to protect it shows us how to approach the responsabilty of the blessings.

My two cents on your situation is to seek a job/career/internship in the field you are seeking. Experience is the best way to get where you want to be. Forget about the hype of school; they are all businesses which promote themselves to stay alive. Don’t be afraid of the real world.

We will watch “The Friar” with the parable I mention above as your prayer.🙂
 
Prayer for Students
O Eternal Father and Incarnate Word, through the Gifts and Fruits of your Holy Spirit, enlighten and perfect my intellect, will and affections that in all things I may be what your Divine Wisdom intended me to be, a Bearer of Christ to all. Illuminate, therefore, my intellect with supernatural faith; strengthen my will with supernatural hope; and inflame my heart with your Divine Love. Create in me Christ-like ideals, attitudes, appreciations and habits that will enable me to think, judge, and act so as to be like your Immaculate Mother, a Bearer of Christ to all.

Give me the necessary skills and docility to earn an honest living; prudence to direct and guide my understanding; justice to regulate my will in respecting the rights of others; temperance to control my desires and appetites; and fortitude to defend and practice your Way, your Truth, and your Life, thus being like Saint Joseph, a Bearer of Christ to all. Teach me to be modest and chaste in regard to myself and others; to be joyfully respectful and obedient to my parents, teachers, ecclesiastical and civil superiors. Thus, by your grace will I grow in the Stature of Christ, in wisdom and age, and be a Bearer of Him to all.

O most Holy Trinity, dwelling in my soul, make me realize that I cannot thus live without the supernatural life of grace that comes through frequent reception of the sacraments, through my offering with the Priest of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, through my daily prayers and through sacrifices and mortification on my part. Through your grace only will I, therefore, put on the image of Christ so that through Him, and with Him, and in Him, I shall advance the Peace of Christ in the Reign of Christ, and be an eternal Bearer of Him to all my brothers and sisters.
~~~~~~
Amen.

Prayer for Test-Takers

Almighty God and Father,
please help us in our examinations.
Help us to face them with courage,
steady in nerves and keen in mind.
Help us to understand the questions that are asked,
to remember all that we have studied,
and to express our answers accurately.
Lord, grant us success, if success is good for us,
For you know what is best for each one of us.
With loving trust therefore we say,
“Whatever the results, blessed be your holy will.”
We make this prayer in Jesus’ name. Amen.

I will pray for you to reach a decision in this problem and find peace going forward. God bless you.
 
Praying for you

Hi everyone,

I thank you for all of your continued prayers. It is much appreciated.

I have decided to leave the school (the one I take no pride in going to), and have decided to take my chances with the Lord’s help to apply to more schools during these upcoming months.

I would like to ask for prayers for great news of acceptances to these schools that I am going to apply to, especially since this will be my last time applying to grad schools. My family and I can’t afford to waste more time, therefore if I don’t get accepted to any of these grad schools I may have to just settle for a career that I am not too fond of.

I thank you all for your continued prayers, I pray for all of you each day, God Bless!🙂
