I have just been told that I will be laid off this month. I am aleady looking for a new position both inside my company and at other places. My husband is employed and we will not go hungry or lose our house, ect. However, I would like to find more work so that we can continue to support our parish and other charities as we have, so that we can help our children substantially with college expenses, and yes, so we can have little luxuries.
Lord, we lift up our prayers for Sr Sally:
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.
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
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.
