Although I realize my troubles are certainly not nearly as awful as those who are sick or dying who have been mentioned on here and I do feel blessed for the good in my life, I am asking for prayers for me, my family and my former employees. Today, after 26 years with the company I have given my life to, I was layed off because of a reorganization and tough economic times. My heart is full with the support and love I have received from my family and my former employees. Many of those individuals who reported to me have called or emailed me expressing tremendous anxiety about their futures. My burden is not just my own situation – I will fare better than some have. I am concerned, however, for them and I am praying for them also. I am sure they think if I am vulnerable then so are they. I am worried about the stress this places on my husband, who is also out of work. My young adult children are very worried about me – and their support heartens me. Please Jesus – give me the strength to not become bitter or angry and help those who are left behind keep focused on their jobs and their own livelihood. Today, I feel numb and I know the emotions will rise up eventually. I pray they are constructive and that I find a way to make this be my most life affirming transition.
 
There is no adequate response to such a serious issue that is affecting yours and others lives and families, but I will pray for you all in my prayers and Masses
 
Pamm Im praying for you. We live by faith not by sight. God bless!
 
Praying for you.

O God,
every good gift comes from Your Hand
and You have been generous to so many
in so many ways…

But the times are changing
and things we have taken for granted
are slipping from our hands and beyond our reach…

As the economy falters
keep our stride firm and strong
even when the familiar path
slips from beneath our step…

Renew our trust in Your Care for us
and in the help that we can offer each other…

Help us to know the things we truly need,
to let go the things we only want
and to know the difference between the two…

As we let go the extra things, the frills and frolics,
teach us to love the simpler things
and especially the simple joys
that bring us together…

Help us to accept what we have lost
and give us the strength to look again
for work and for hope…

Make us quick to help our neighbor
and to accept our neighbor’s help…

Give us the grace of a new beginning
even when we’re not sure
where or how to begin…

Renew our desire to be close to You
and refresh a spirit of prayer within us…

Hear us when we cry out to You
and give us confidence
that You hear our every prayer…

Help us to trust in You, O God,
“that all shall be well,
and that all shall be well,
and that all manner of things shall be well…”
 
Oh Pamm I am so very sorry to read this.How brave and compassinate you are for your other former co-workers.It certainly puts things in perspective when I read your story I realise my family are not as hard done by as i thought.My own son Stuart finishes his job soon with a 9mnth old child to support.I pray for you and your husband that you will manage financially and that you will both or one of you be able to gain employment again soon.God bless you

Dear Lord,
Help Pamm and her husband find firm ground in this shaky economy.
As they seek work and assistance,
Give them strength not to be anxious when they seem to be going nowhere;
Give them patience not to despair when things look bleak;
Give them serenity to know you are there with them, helping them to carry their crosses each day;
So that they may do Your will,
For the salvation of souls
And their Eternal Life.
Amen
 
That is a tough situation to be in. I pray some job opportunities come your way and that you find work quickly …
 
Lord, Pamm is out of work and needs a new job. Please come to her assistance. Please meet all of her needs and do not let her or her family go without. May they grow closer to you and more dependent on you and place all their trust in you. Amen.

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.
 
O Lord, Holy Father, omnipotent and eternal God, I give You thanks and I bless Your holy name. I know I’m a poor miserable sinner but hear a cause that is just, turn your ear to my prayer. Amen

Prayers for your intentions….

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.

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.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of Hell; lead all souls into Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. Amen.

Lord Jesus, hear my prayers. Amen

“If God brings it to you- God will bring you through it.”
 
St. Joseph, Guardian of families, please intercede for Pamm, her family, and her co-workers.

St. Joseph, please aid all jobseekers who wish to support their families and will do so in the future and praise God for ever more.

Thank you, St. Joseph, for protecting the Church and families.

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.
 
Pamm,

I am so sorry to hear of your job loss. I ask Our Lord to lead in the direction he chooses for you, and to make straight your path. I pray that losing this job means that you are available for work He has in store for you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I admire your ability to be so concerned and to be praying for your former coworkers and that is an inspiration to all of us. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers.

Sincerely,
