Prayer to Our Mother of Perpetual Help (for Financial Aid)
Dear Mother Mary,
We approach you with submissive and humble hearts,
because we have a child-like confidence in you intercession and goodness,
asking you* to help Steve win Social Security benefits. *
We believe, dear Mother, that you are not only rich and bountiful,
but extremely kind and generous to all your loving children.
We thank you, dear Lady, through your Divine Son Christ Our Lord, Amen.
Jesus, Help Me Prayer
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 a Father and 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 shortcomings of every kind:
Jesus, help me and never forsake me. – Amen

May he find lasting health and deliverance, and so join us in thanking you for all your gifts. We ask this through the Lord Jesus who healed those who believed. Amen.
