Hello,
please pray for me and my job.

The job I have now leaves me worried at home (susceptible to sudden anger, far from prayer), and sluggish at work (afraid, lazy). Several approaches in faith have not helped to overcome this dilemma and so we discerned that I have to look for a job that better fits my profile.
I’m skilled in logistics, and took on a programming job for logistics software. Never was I aware of the impact of deadlines and project-mindedness that belongs to an IT-job on my spirit and overall feeling.
I feel I can perform more (and earn more money to provide for the family) if I return to the field I always liked and performed well in: hands-on, operationally planning/ controlling/ checking stocks, costs, equipments, actions etc.
Working opportunities are enough in my area for this field, it’s just a matter of finding the right approach to get a job.

Also my wife is looking for a better (higher-level) job than she has now, so prayers for her are also very welcome and appreciated.

Thank you!
 
Praying to St. Joseph for you & your wife to find successfully fullfilling employment.
 
I appeal to pope St. John XXIII for your job,
that you can see some GOOD in it and
de-emphasize the negativity that you feel
right now for the job. May the spirit of St.
Joseph bring you hope for a future in your
present job. There is DIGNITY in work,
keep your chin up!!!

St. Michael the archangel, defend us in battle,
be our defense against the snares and wickedness
of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray
and do O prince of the heavenly host, by the power
of God, cast into hell satan, and all evil spirits who
prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
 
Lord, please lead this husband and wife to the temporal vocation which will bring them the most joy in union with the Father’s merciful will. Send angels to arrange proper meeting between this couple and professional opportunities. Through this pursuit, lead them closer to your Sacred Heart. Comfort them with much grace and angelic help during every moment of frustration or trial. Lead them joyfully toward the eternal garden of joy and prevent them from tripping on any of the treacherous paths in this fallen world. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, angels, and saints, pray with us. 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.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility
and Mother of Hope,
look upon Samwise1 in this time
of weakness and unrest.

Teach her searching heart
to know that God’s Love
for her is unchanging and
unchangeable, and, that
true human love can only
begin and grow by touching
His Love.

Let your gentle Peace -
which this world cannot give
  • be always with her.
    And, help her to bring this
    same Peace into the lives
    of others.
Our Lady of Mental Peace,
  • Pray for us!
    Amen.
Jesus, Help Me!

In every need let me come to You with humble trust,
saying:
Jesus, help me!
In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations:
Jesus, help me!
In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials:
Jesus, help me!
In the failure of my plans and hopes, in disappointments,
troubles and sorrows:
Jesus, help me!
When others fail me, and Your Grace alone can assist me:
Jesus, help me!
When I throw myself on Your tender Love as Savior:
Jesus, help me!
When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good
come from my efforts:
Jesus, help me!
When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me:
Jesus, help me!
When I am ill, and my head and hands cannot work and
I am lonely:
Jesus, help me!

Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls and short-
comings of every kind:
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, help me and never forsake me!

Amen

Prayer to St. Anthony for Employment

Blessed St. Anthony, who in life was ever mindful
of the needs of the afflicted, consuming himself
in the service of God and for the good of souls,
who was the enemy of idleness and a tireless worker
in the vineyard of the Lord, beseech God to grant
Samwise1 and his wife suitable jobs, which may procure for them
and their family a decent livelihood, and be at the same time
a means of personal sanctification and of real service to others.
We ask this through Jesus Christ Our Lord, amen.

Gracious and merciful Father, please come to their 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.

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.

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.
 
Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with 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 thy Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy clemency hear and answer me.
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,

Now and at the hour of our death. 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.
 
Thanks to all who responded and to those who are praying for us!

Strill struggling with this… I have two interesting interviews coming up next week and the week after - so asking your prayers for that.

On my current job, I struggle a lot with confidence. I’m just perfectionistic and want to complete my project within the alotted time, but can’t because of my inexperience. But this in turn leaves me paralyzed - to ask questions, to report that I am going over my time, to continue the work at hand, …
Someone has experience in this or some practical suggestions helping me to relate better? How can I relieve some stress from myself?

I started praying the Vespers and this really helped me know Jesus’ hand in this and more peace… But still I leave work everyday feeling disappointed about myself.

My wife will get another position next week (same company, just a less physical job), so let’s pray that goes well too!
 
Praying for you and your wife…
