To Our Mother of Perpetual Help
Realizing, dearest Mother of Perpetual Help, that thou art our perpetual help not only in spiritual but also in temporal necessities, we approach thee with submissive and humble hearts because we have a child-like and affectionate trust in thy power and goodness, beseeching thee to assist us in our present financial worry. Owing to untoward circumstances which have arisen in our lives, we are in dire want and pecuniary embarrassment, being unable to meet our honest debts.
We are not asking, dearest Mother of Perpetual Help, for wealth, if the possession of it is not in accordance with the holy will of God. We merely beg of thee that assistance which will enable us to satisfy our most pressing obligations.
We believe, Dear Mother of God, that thou art the Queen of heaven and earth, and as such, the instrument and special dispenser of thy divine Son’s graces; that thou hast acquired by virtue of thy wonderful dignity, a sweet jurisdiction over all creation. We believe that thou art not only rich and bountiful, but extremely kind and generous to all thy loving and devoted children. We plead with thee, therefore, dear Mother, to obtain for us the help we so urgently need in our present financial difficulty. We thank thee, dear Lady of Perpetual Help, and promise to publish far and near, the glories of thy miraculous picture. Amen.
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, You wanted all who are weary to come to You for support. Lord, I am worn out by my inability to find wage-earning work.
Day after day, my worry and fear grows as the rejections of my applications mount. I am able and willing to work—but I cannot find a worthwhile job.
Please help me to obtain one soon so that I can support myself and my family
in a decent way.
However, if it is your will that I wait longer, enable me to worry less
and to be able to take advantage of the time available to get closer to You.
Let me realize that there are other ways to bring about your kingdom on earth
besides salaried work. Help me to make use of them for the time being
so that I may continue to grow as a person for your greater glory. Amen.
Dear St. Joseph, you were yourself once faced with the responsibility of providing the necessities of life for Jesus and Mary. Look down with fatherly compassion upon me in my anxiety over my present inability to support my family. Please help me to find gainful employment very soon, so that this heavy burden of concern will be lifted from my heart and that I am soon able to provide for those whom God has entrusted to my care. Help us to guard against bitterness and discouragement, so that we may emerge from this trial spiritually enriched and with even greater blessings from God. Amen.
Our Mother of Perpetual Help & St. Joseph, please hear CarmeliteGirl25’s Prayers. She is in need of a decent job to pay off her debts so she can continue the Vocation that you call her too.
I Pray also for all who have recently lost their jobs, quit their jobs, for those unemployed seeking a job. Amen.
