My prayer is for all those suffering out there – as I am. Because of a failed business with substantial personally guaranteed debt, we must sell our home of 27 years where we raised four kids and use the equity to pay off debt. Living on one teacher income, we won’t be able to afford even a ratty apartment. Yet I continue to hear of people with much worse problems and I pray for them. Pray for me and my husband to get through this crisis with joy and confidence in the Lord. My anxiety is paralyzing because of attachment to simple security which is gone but I need confidence that God has all of this in His plan. If nothing else, it has given me new appreciation for the poor which we all, as Christians, have but need to come more in contact with them as Christ and his saints have taught us. God bless all of you and have a blessed Christmas.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou amoungst 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 death,
Amen
 
May God bless you and keep you and watch over you,
and may your prayers be answered.
Sacred Heart of Jesus please hear our prayers.
 
:signofcross:

May the LORD watch over you and bless you in your time of trouble. May He use these hardships to bring you even closer to Him.

Pater noster qui es in caelis…

Ave Maria gratia plena…

Gloria Patri et Filio et Spirtui Sancto…

Salve Regina mater misericordia…

Saint Job pray for us.

:signofcross:
 
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

Almighty and Eternal Father, source of all goodness. In your tender mercy, please make it shine your star to Karoline and her family, that they may be guided by your wisdom in their decisions. Provide that they will receive along the way the virtues of faith, hope and love. Grant that their neighbours see in their hearts the potential, charity and trustworthiness. Please provide for them. St Joseph, please intercede for us.

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.
 
I’m sorry you have had such a hard time.

Hail Mary,
Full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou amoungst 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 death,
Amen:gopray:

Hi Kerolina,

Please at least investigate all legal options to minimize the effect on your family. I am an attorney in California - please PM me if you want and I can try and give you advice or direct you to a resource that can…God Bless you and your family
 
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. After posting this this morning, I have felt a calm about it all and believe it is because of your prayers. I will pray for all of you and, again --thanks & God Bless you all!!!
 
I am so sorry you and your husband have lost your business and home. I pray that your faith in the Lord stays strong and He helps guide you through this with joy and grace in your hearts.

I try to see the glass as half full. You have 4 adult children you were able to raise in that home and you still have each other. Maybe moving will be a hidden blessing. Have you ever heard of the tiny house movement? People literally make houses that are genius in design, beautiful, comfortable, and about 89 sq ft. The people who do this talk a lot about how they were so attached to things and a false sense of worth and security based on having those things. Then they move, with some apprehension, into their tiny houses and feel so free. they learn to concentrate on things that really matter. Maybe moving into a small apartment or even leaving your area for a less expensive part of the state will be an adventure that changes things for you in a good way.
 
Praying that the Lord may grant you strength and all necessary graces. Also praying that He may protect you and grant you relief from anxiety.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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
 
We pray for you and all who are or may be forced to reply on private or public charity. Certainly most of us have dreamed of being independent and secure–maybe most of us even dream of being wealthy despite Jesus’ warning about the hazards of mammon.
We pray you will find satisfaction in having done your best–and continuing to do it. We too find our status far below some of our most ambitious dreams, but try to focus on our gratutude for our blessings, especially our children and our health. We’re trying to accept and trust the Scriptures ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and to remember that we came into life with nothing and must leave with nothing except our Treasure in Heaven.
 
Hail Mary,

And blessed is the fruit of Thy womb,

I will certainly pray for you and your family. It is easy to say, hang in there, but hard to do. But my own experience has shown me it is possible to get up again and start over. Sometimes it is these storms that bring us to a new direction in life that will amaze us, something we never thought of doing. I hope that the Lord will allow you true insight into His plan for you.

Do remember, if you have each other you have everything. Things are replaceable, but people are not. Trust in friends that are willing to help, trust in family you hold dear, and of course trust in God. In Peace.
 
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.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now ever shall be world without end
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy 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

:signofcross:
 
May God Bless you always and abundantly.

Peace and wisdom to understand how it fits into HIS plan has always been a favorite prayer of mine. May God bless you and give you that and more. Thank you for adding more meaning and purpose to my prayers tomorrow. I will pray for you and ask God to help you because you are one with me and my family at the Mass and as Church. Thank you for giving me more to offer to our Lord!
