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 among 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 ever shall be world without end Amen

Hello, I didn’t know where else to post this. I just recently got laid off my job and we have a lot of bills, and I’m not doing too well physically and I sure would appreciate your prayers. I am very scared, I’ve never been laid off before, and I recently became Catholic this spring. I’m trying not to get discouraged, but it’s hard. I go to Mass every morning and on Sun. too, and I just feel bummed and angry. This lay off was not my fault, it was others’ that made mistakes and hurt the funding at my work which we all rely on to stay employed. I help the poor in my work and I love it. I am very lucky to do this and get paid for it. So if someone could post back with some encouragement and some prayers, I’d be ever so grateful!😉
Thank-you and God bless,
Sue

Scrappy, no matter what your handicap, no matter what your paycheck… , no matter what your pain… God is with you. Find yourself at the foot of the cross - A Tabernacle at church… Eucaristic Exposition… somewhere in a Catholic Church… I find consolation there when I give up the world’s definition of contentment and happiness.

I believe one can serve the poor without a job. One does not need an employer to help the poor. So many ways you can help them - through employment (which you had) - through encouragement - (share the gospel - share what little you have…), through sharing intimately with their suffering (read Mother Theresa…)…

Jesus was poor. “Blessed are the poor in spirit”… Maybe Jesus is teaching a lesson here - maybe not even to you, but to those you minister to (family… the poor…).

There are far worse things to suffer… I fear far more for the rich than for the poor.

I would like some advise. I don’t know how to handle this.

Adrift, I don’t know what it is about this that you feel you cannot handle, but you seem to be doing just fine. Your prayers are appropriate.

As for Scrappy’s situation - how to handle it (if that is what you question) - I just say basically the same thing I just said to him: You have to trust fully in God (as others have suggested: " not a bird falls from the sky that God doesn’ t know about").

Every hair on our head is counted. He cares so much for each of us… The problem is not how He cares for us (in affluence, in poverty, in sickness, or ease…), but whether or not we will put ourselves under His care. Trust means letting go of “how” He does it, and simply letting ourselves be the “clay” in the “Potter’s hands”; less attention on how He is molding us (like the husbandman who prunes his trees…) and more focus on just letting Him prune us - like branches (or mold us - like clay).

I offend God a lot. But l consider that many other people do as well even among the most tender of devotion. We have a journey and there are signposts on the way. You will encounter a number of them. Consider Mary as an individual, love her, I purpose that to you. She implants the love of Jesus, and recourse to her womb is a treasure that she gives to few individuals. I offend God a lot. And if you can convice people that you are a sinner when they flatter you good for you that you do. It is not easy but with this suffering you might obtain examples in which you can tell people that I am a sinner in the moments when they flatter you. Consider the confidence of Mary when the mother of John the Baptist said, “And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” (Lk 1:43) You and I should beg for wisdom for it is the best thing to beg for - “Every best gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration.” (Jas 1:17)

“He must increase, and I must decrease”. He came to serve and not to be served. He had no place to lay His head…

It is good to be poor. I see the Lord continually leading me to seek to be small and insignificant; to serve and be humble above all else. (Not suggesting the OP is proud or seeking riches… Just getting carried away with a thought…).

Animalis, I offend God a lot too, but right now I love Him all the way to my grave. “Love covers a multitude of sins” - I place a lot of hope in this, b/c I have many sins, but I am overflowing with love…

Pax Christi~
 
Hey Scrappy—(that’s my dog’s name too) LOL! 😃

Ya know the old saying “watch what you pray for” it’s true.

I was so tired and told God I needed an extended vacation. I got laid off three yrs ago. :eek:

He does have a sense of humor.🤷

Then I had a heart attack and then a head on collision. So, I can relate to your situation.

However, God has put me right where he wants me to be for right now.

It will be ok Sue. Stay close to Christ and do ask for his assistance. I’ll also pray for you at morning Mass.

Of course Sue. I pray that Our Father, who loves you more than the sparrows, will provide for all your needs. Don’t be afraid! God loves you. :hug1:

Pray, do what you can and leave the rest to God.

He’s drawing you closer to Himself.
