Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, 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.

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.
 
Dear Lord please hear our prayers for our dear faithful and loyal friend Reg who prays so hard for so many people each day. Please help him that he may find a job or source of income for him and his family. Lord in Your mercy hear our prayers Amen

Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
O great St. Joseph, you were completely obedient to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Obtain for Reginator the grace to know the state of life that God in His providence has chosen for him. Since his happiness on earth, and perhaps even his final happiness in heaven, depends on this choice, let him not be deceived in making it. Obtain for him the light to know God’s Will, to carry it out faithfully, and to choose the vocation which will lead him to a happy eternity.
Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

The_Reginator said:
I thought I should start reaching out about this problem.
I live in a small town with few opportunities. I get almost everywhere on foot or by bicycle. (The Better Half claims our only car as her own. She paid for it all by herself and has taken over service station maintenance and insists on being the only one to put gas into it.)

My 30+ year old university degree is not of any real use. My experience is in a couple of particular fields and is largely outdated.

Tonight I picked up an application form for a coffee and doughnut job. At 55 I find that I am competing with high school kids for work.

People try to help by asking ‘what are you passionate about?’. I haven’t an answer for that … at least not one that will bring in any income.

I have not been faithful in praying about this, so tonight I shall begin:

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.

O great St. Joseph, you were completely obedient to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Obtain for me the grace to know the state of life that God in His providence has chosen for me.

Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.

Loving God,

We lift our prayers and intentions today for The Reginator as he seeks your will and guidance for finding his dignity in work as he continues the journey of life. Please bless this situation and send your loving Holy Spirit to assist him in this search.

We pray in the name of your beloved son Jesus, the Good Shepherd of your people.

Amen.
