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

Amen.

Prayer to St. Joseph for the Unemployed

O Saint Joseph, we pray to you for those who are out of work, for those who want to earn their living or support their families.

You who are the patron of workers; grant that unemployment may vanish from our ranks; that all those who are ready to work may put their strength and abilities in serving their fellowmen and earn a just salary.

You are the patron of families; do not let those who have children to support and raise lack the necessary means. Have pity on our brothers and sisters held down in unemployment and poverty because of sickness or social disorders. Help our political leaders and captains of industry find new and just solutions. May each and every one have the joy of contributing, according to his abilities, to the common prosperity by an honorable livelihood. Grant that we may all share together in the abundant goods God has given us and that we may help underprivileged countries. Amen.

Thank you everyone!

I am still struggling day to day. I haven’t even been able to put anything in the collection plate at church for months.
The worst part is that I’ll be turning 57 this coming Epiphany … but I still don’t have a “field of expertise” or any field at all. When people ask me about what kind of work I’m looking for I have no answer. My background no longer means anything because 1) technology has changed my former work and 2) it’s been so long since I’ve had a “real job” that I no longer have those hard skills.

I’m sure that this is one of my crosses to bear, but what does God want me to do?
Well, I guess I need to pray more on this and pray with faith.
