For those seeking employment

[Allegra]

My fiance is moving to my hometown so we can be married. He is looking for a new job as a church music direction. He was just turned down for one job he interviewed for and is feeling sad about it. (Secretly, I don’t mind because the church that turned him down is full to the rafters with old people! The priest even said they haven’t had a Baptism in months. No offence to the elderly but this parish has little to offer a young family.) Anyway, please help me pray that God will help him find a good position and that the Holy Spirit won’t allow him to be discouraged.

We pray for all those seeking employment Father, may we place our trust firmly in you, remembering that all our blessings and all we need comes from you. Father we praise you and humbly pray for all those seeking employment. Amen.

The elderly are a fountain of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, compassion, humor, and a riot of laughter. That is just to start off with…what you are “secretly” saying/implying is I don’t want the treasure of the church. They have SO MUCH to offer young families…You are VERY misguided and assuming because they are not like you that you couldn’t possibly relate to them…
this is coming from a young one who is surrounded by elderly people…trust me they will surprise you. I love my elderly… as a side note…St. Jose Maria Escriba has a novena for the unemployed you might want to check out…

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

THanks for the novena. The wisdom of age is great, but so are the other important parts of life. I don’t want to raise my children in a church with no school and no child-centered activities to bring them closer to God. I want to be part of a church with baptisms, first communions, confirmations, and weddings, not just funerals. Family is very important to me. I’m sure you can understand that.

God, our Father, we turn to you seeking your divine help and guidance for those looking for suitable employment.
They need your wisdom to guide my footsteps along the right path, and to lead them to find the proper things to say and do in this quest. They wish to use the gifts and talents you have given them, but they need the opportunity to do so with gainful employment.
Do not abandon them, dear Father, in this search, but rather grant them this favor they seek so that they may return to you with praise and thanksgiving for your gracious assistance.
Grant this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen
