Please keep my dear husband in your prayers. He has worked for 30+ years in a very public position, and is currently experiencing a difficult and humiliating change, due, I fear, to his age, (63) though that is hard to prove. Please pray that he has the strength to endure. Thank you!
 
Dear Lord, we pray that dixieagle’s husband is able to hold on to his job during this difficult time. Through Christ Our Lord, amen.

PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. 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.

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

Amen.

Prayer to St. Joseph for the Unemployed

O Saint Joseph, we pray to you for those who are out of work, for those who want to earn their living or support their families.

You who are the patron of workers; grant that unemployment may vanish from our ranks; that all those who are ready to work may put their strength and abilities in serving their fellowmen and earn a just salary.

You are the patron of families; do not let those who have children to support and raise lack the necessary means. Have pity on our brothers and sisters held down in unemployment and poverty because of sickness or social disorders. Help our political leaders and captains of industry find new and just solutions. May each and every one have the joy of contributing, according to his abilities, to the common prosperity by an honorable livelihood. Grant that we may all share together in the abundant goods God has given us and that we may help underprivileged countries. Amen.
 
Praying for your husband for strength to endure changes in his work situation. May God be with him as he adjusts to new changes. May God bless you as well too for caring. I bet you will be a wonderful support for him during this time.

Mary.

O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, who brought forth the Son of God, still remaining a Virgin, assist us in this necessity. O Star of the Sea, help us, and show us that you are our Mother.

O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth, we humbly ask you from the depths of our heart to help us in this necessity. There are none who can withstand your power. O show us that you are our Mother.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Sweet Mother, we place this cause in your hands. Amen
 
Seek ye the grace of God,
And mercies from on high?
Invoke St. Joseph’s holy name,
And on his aid rely.

So shall the Lord, well-pleas’d,
Your earnest prayer fulfil;
The guilty cleanse from guilt, and make
the holy holier still.

So shall His tender care
To you through life be nigh;
So shall His love with triumph crown
Your dying agony.

Lock’d in the Virgin arms
of Mary and her Son; –
Embracing each in speechless joy
And sweetest union.

O Joseph, in what peace*
Was breath’d thy latest sigh!
Dear pattern of all those to come
Who should in Jesus die!

Hail, mightiest of saints!
To whom submissive bent
He whose Creator-hand outstretch’d
The starry firmament.

Hail, Mary’s spouse elect!
Hail, guardian of the Word!
Nurse of the Highest, and esteem’d
The father of the Lord!

Blest Trinity, to Thee,
From all in earth, in heaven,
And to St. Joseph’s holy name,
Be praise and honour given.

Ant. Blessed Joseph is the helper in troubles and
protector of all who piously call upon his name.
V.*Blessed be the name of Joseph,
R.*Henceforth and evermore.

Let us pray.

God, who art wonderful in Thy saints, and more
wonderful in Blessed Joseph, making him dispenser
of heavenly gifts over Thy family; grant, we beseech
Thee, that we who devoutly venerate his name on
earth may, through the assistance of his prayers and
merits, happily attain unto the haven of salvation.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

From The Raccolta or Collection of Indulgenced Prayers (1857 authorised translation) by Father Ambrose St. John ; hymn translated by Father Edward Caswall, pages 266-267.

Jesus, God and man,*
imprisoned by love in Thy most holy Sacrament,*
have mercy upon us.
  • Blessed John Henry Newman, December 22, 1851
Tú y yo sabemos por la fe que oculto en las especies sacramentales está Cristo,*
ese Cristo con su Cuerpo, con su Sangre, con su Alma, y con su Divinidad,*
prisonero de amor.
  • San Josemaría Escrivá, 1 junio 1974
God loves to be resisted in His displeasure, and to be restrained by the humble from inflicting punishment… One saint will often save a nation; so true is it that humble souls are the hinges on which God moves the world.
  • Abp. W. B. Ullathorne, The Groundwork of the Christian Virtues, 1882
 
Sub Tuum Praesidium Under Thy Patronage

We fly to thy patronage,
O holy Mother of God;
despise not our petitions in our necessities,
but deliver us always from all dangers,
O glorious and blessed Virgin.
Amen.

Heavenly Father in this time of painful change, please bless dixieagle’s husband.

God bless you both.

In Time of Need

Heavenly Father, in my present need, help me to believe that you are aware of my anxiety and will do what is best for me. Give me the strength to trust you and put the present and future in your hands. Grant this through Christ, our Lord.
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
 
Gracious and merciful Father, please come to his assistance.

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.

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.
