Novena To
Our Lady of Hope

NOVENA

I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope. In me is all grace of the way and of the truth; in me is all hope of life and of virtue. Come to me all that desire me and be filled with my fruits (Sirach 24:24-26).
O Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Grace, Hope of the world.
Hear us, your children, who cry to you

Let Us Pray
O God, who by the marvelous protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary has strengthened us firmly in hope, grant we beseech You, that by persevering in prayer at her admonition, we may obtain the favors we devoutly implore. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Prayer to Our Lady of Hope
O Mary, my Mother, I kneel before you with heavy heart. The burden of my sins oppresses me. The knowledge of my weakness discourages me. I am beset by fears and temptations of every sort. Yet I am so attached to the things of this world that instead of longing for Heaven I am filled with dread at the thought of death.
O Mother of Mercy, have pity on me in my distress. You are all-powerful with your Divine Son. He can refuse no request of your Immaculate Heart. Show yourself a true Mother to me by being my advocate before His throne. O Refuge of Sinners and Hope of the Hopeless, to whom shall I turn if not you?
Obtain for me, then, O Mother of Hope, the grace of true sorrow for my sins, the gift of perfect resignation to God’s Holy Will, and the courage to take up my cross and follow Jesus. Beg of His Sacred Heart the special favor that I ask in this novena.

(I pray for the intentions of BIX)

But above all I pray, O dearest Mother, that through your most powerful intercession my heart may be filled with Holy Hope, so that in life’s darkest hour I may never fail to trust in God my Savior, but by walking in the way of His commandments I may merit to be united with Him, and with you in the eternal joys of Heaven. Amen.
Mary, our Hope, have pity on us.
Hope of the Hopeless, pray for us.

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 death.
Amen.

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 forsaken.
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. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

Angel sent by God to guide me,
Be my friend and walk beside me.
Be my guardian and protect me.
On the path of life direct me.
 
Thank you all for your many prayers and special thanks to those who found the time to post your kind words and uplifting prayers during a very difficult time. Some days these are among the very few things that help me throughout the day. As always, you are in my daily prayers for God to answer your prayers quickly, meet all of your needs, and for many blessings.

Sadly, prayers are needed in an abundance for … Help, peace, health, finances and … A job. I know that’s much to ask for, but they are needed. I would probably have a little peace if the others were met. 🙂
 
my longest post ever, sorry…

The job I accepted - is gone. Going in, I knew it would be difficult as the owner was… I will simply say he has many issues and can understand why his business is in the shape it is and having difficulties aside from the economy. I went in agreeing to these terms like an idiot due to my situation. I have done many things in the past. I’ve been in sales, client retention and resolution, management, owned two businesses, been a director of development for a multi million dollar company, was quite ill two years and started over in very high end jewelry and completed GIA diamonds, etc, went through many difficult changes after seven years of this and went into finance and banking. Here I am starting over ----AGAIN… However, I have no assistance, savings depleted, etc. It’s difficult. I passed humiliated long ago. If I don’t find something I will lose everything very, very soon.

I wasted very precious time looking for a job interviewing and dealing with this insulting, unprofessional, unethical, cerebrally and emotionally self stunted man. In all my experience of interviewing and working I have never seen anything akin to this experience. First interview- was there 3 hours.

Questions asked- are you married, do you have children, where do you live, are you divorced, etc. ( this is against the law to ask if you are not aware) I told him I would generally not answer such questions, but coming from the perspective of a past business owner I believed to understand why he asked and complied with answers.)When asked about my time gap- I replied I had been sick for about a year and a half and took a little extra time off as I had the means. His response - oh, no- I don’t want any sick people or anyone with anything wrong with them( again, not legal - but I simply assured him of my health being much better.) Oh, and the compassionate soul suffers from his own medical issues.

Multiple times he commented how beautiful he thought I was … Insulting, unprofessional, uncomfortable, etc. then said he liked to hire someone like this and no one wants an overweight or too skinny, sickly looking person to represent their business… This is soooooooooo wrong and insulting as well as depressing that times are so tough and you need a job and will put up with things that would normally get a guy slapped - fast! It’s wrong. I’m trying to be careful how I use my words as I have many…

So, he calls the following day and asks me to return and meet the other employees (all 1.5of them) etc.another 3 hours and another interview. Ridiculous. We discussed, pay etc. he informed me if he offered the job and I accepted - there is no leaving the business/store once you arrive for work, he takes the (2) 15 minute breaks the law requires and puts them together for your lunch, but you are paid. Then says it’s ridiculous how employees have been bringing in microwave meal and taking 20 min to heat and eat and how they would spend 2-4 minutes in the bathroom, a no no… No back door to exit- locked, bolted coded. I could go on and on. There are so many things going on there the dept of labor or whatever it is could shut him down quickly re these as welll as a litany of others. He then told me several more times how beautiful I was on the inside and out and how “special and unique” that is -this would freak me out even on a first date and this an interview! Wow, the economy is bad. I NEVER flirted, accepted any advances or dressed nor behaved in a manner that would solicit this from any sane person. I was there to work. Period. Met and exceeded all criteria, etc. I could tell he also has a temper and knowing ALL this I accepted the job when he phoned the following day.

Went into work for as scheduled Monday 1:30-6:15, arrived early, was told in front if the other female employee not to expect any special treatment just because you’re pretty" I about passed out. 1) I don’t see myself this way, 2) it’s unprofessional and insulting and embarrassing as well as the other lady seemed pretty annoyed with me that he said this… 3) I have the work experience in much better companies than his as well have certified credentials from the most prestigious gemological school that there is anywhere not to mention the rest of my experience and this “person” is having me jump through hoops. The other 1.5 employees - none of this. Received a phone call the following morning that he didn’t know if it was a good fit and the other woman who complained about him all day took something I said out of context and basically through me under the bus. He said if I wanted to give it a try to let him know or come in. I was flabbergasted. I went in only to be let go, but told that he wanted to hold on to my app for some time if that was okay. Naturally, this was another hour conversation with uncomfortable remarks re appearance, etc and how well qualified I am.! Scream! I asked for some constructive criticism so I could better myself re my next employment- I asked what exactly did I not do properly and what could I do in order to improve ( I had a reason for asking this stupid question) reply- oh, absolutely nothing. Everything you did was perfect and your credentials, etc are great. " I think you are great, etc"

So, please pray. I’m upset and irritated and not only lost the time I spent there - I wasted the week being at a complete loss. I was in process applying for a part time youth minister at a local parish and received my letter of recommendation and past involvement from my prior church to add with my resume on the afternoon of my 2nd interview and accepted the job. I didn’t submit for the youth minister as it was few hours, but too many to work with the new job. The deadline was the day before my 1st day at “new job” and day after I was let go…
 
NO! I’m sorry you had to go through that! Knock the dust off you shoes, never look back, and move on! Do say a prayer for him. We are called to do so.

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

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.

Thank you for your prayers.
God Bless~

Almighty God, I pray that thou wilt sustain me
when I may be enduring for a purpose,
and to accomplish it seems beyond my strength.
Renew me with courage, and give me unceasing hope, and
faith that is able to hold out to the end.
Amen.

O my God, Source of all mercy.
I acknowledge Your sovereign power.
While recalling the wasted years that are past,
I believe that You, Lord, can in an instant turn this loss to gain.
Miserable as I am, yet I firmly believe that You can do all things.
Please restore to me the time lost, giving me Your grace,
both now and in the future,
that I may appear before You in “wedding garments.”
Amen.

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.
