We are giving aid to a homeless person who has some mental problems, but not great ones. He was in jail for awhile, because he didn’t take his meds, and assaulted a psychiatric aide that was trying to help him. In that struggle (the man didn’t get hurt) their microwave got broken, thus he was put in jail.

He was released in August with no place to live, so he’s living in our garage. We don’t have enough room in our house, and my husband, a senior has health problems. However he has plenty of clothes, we help him with food and has a heater and fan in there. Both he and us thought it would be a temporary arrangement but he’s been there longer than expected.

The problem is he’s trying to get low cost housing for himself, but is having a difficult time getting it. He’s faithfully taking his meds now and trying to make a life for himself.

We’ve both been praying for him (don’t know if there’s a patron saint for the homeless) but am requesting prayers before the weather gets really bad here. Thank you.
 
WOW :blessyou: ALL!

I searched for patron of homeless when you asked.

I will pray for the intercession of Saint Benedict Joseph Labre for you.

Saint Benedict Joseph Labre, you gave up honor, money and home for love of Jesus. Help us to set our hearts on Jesus and not on the things of this world. You lived in obscurity among the poor in the streets. Enable us to see Jesus in our poor brothers and sisters and not judge by appearances. Make us realize that in helping them we are helping Jesus. Show us how to befriend them and not pass them by.

Saint Benedict Joseph Labre, you had a great love for prayer. Obtain for us the grace of persevering prayer, especially adoration of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Saint Benedict Joseph Labre, poor in the eyes of men but rich in the eyes of God, pray for us. Amen.
 
Utah Rose,

You have done an amazing thing. I am actually crying with joy at the wonderful, unselfish example you are giving others. Very few Christians would have followed the teachings of Christ in this way, you will surely be rewarded for your generosity in Heaven. It would have been so easy to pass by on the other side. Thank you, thank you for your care and compassion for this man.

I will pray for you, your husband and this homeless person. I will pray that God will answer your prayers. Surely He cannot refuse someone who has followed His commandments so well?
 
“Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.”

~~ Luke 9:58

Dear Jesus, please grant this man a safe place to live.

Our Father please bless these hosting people may Your Grace be with them and in their house, and may You bless and help this man finding a confortable decent place to live and may You give him a possibility to start a decent life and find friends and love.
In Jesus name
amen
 
Dear God, please help the homeless man. Give him a good place to live and help him start a good life of stability, happiness and health. Bless utah rose and her husband for having such a kind heart and taking in the man to live with them. †
 
Loving God thank You for the awesome generosity of utah rose and her husband.
I praise You for that…and I think of Matthew chapter 25.
What a joy to You, this practical and sacrificial kindness.

Loving God please build upon this kindness, and the efforts this young man is making, to help him to find his own affordable place, and work that he can handle to give him support.
 
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.

Remember oh most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence I fly unto thee oh Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. Oh Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
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.
 
Saint Benedict Joseph Labre, poor in the eyes of men but rich in the eyes of God, please pray that Utah Rose’s situation may improve and that God’s blessings may be shed upon her, her husband and this homeless man. Thank you. Amen.
 
Lord, please continue to bless and protect this homeless man. And grant that he finds an apartment very soon, if this would please you. Please reward Utah Rose in this life and/or in the next, for all of her generosity and love. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.

Thank you for your prayers, but definitely not looking for some reward. I think everyone has some bad times in their lives, know we did at times, and know a lot of people now have lost their homes, etc. We feel that this homeless person has been put into our lives to look after, and there but for the grace of God go I or my husband for that matter.

It’s in our Catholic faith to look after each other. My reward is to be able to see him back on his feet despite some of the things in his past. Thanks again for your prayers!! God bless you!
 
Very generous act. May God Bless you.
Lord please help this homeless person get a good life started.

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.
