Lord we know the practical realities of life, that employment can be difficult to find, and that others (parents battling alone, families struggling and desperately needing the work, other young couples) may be praying earnestly for the same jobs as we apply for. How do You solve this dilemma?!
Please be mindful of this young couple’s desire for employment, so that they too can begin their future together.
Please give them Your abundant graces
Mother Mary you experienced difficulties associated with family income and support.
When you and Joseph were espoused he had established work, but then when you were close to the point of delivering your Child, legal requirements forced you and Joseph to relocate to Bethlehem, where family income was uncertain and you couldn’t even find decent accommodation. Then due to official intent to murder your Child, you and Joseph fled to Egypt, where amongst strangers, amid language difficulties, Joseph had to find work to support the family. Later, when the murderous king had died, once again you and Joseph relocated, to Nazareth, where he once again had to find enough work to support your family, in a different part of the country than you had previously lived, so once again you were among strangers and had no network of support.
So Mary, you and Joseph do know how hard it is to get by in this world.
Please will you both, good holy persons, intercede with Your Son for this couple, for their support and income, and for a blessed life together
