I need your prayers for many things. First, I feel like I am falling away from the Church. I still believe but I haven’t gone to CC for a while now and this has never happened before. Second, my health is failing me. I am dealing with minor issues that nevertheless cause me constant pain and are difficult to heal. Third, my career is being threatened because of bureaucracy and politics. I am pursuing a teaching career which was flourishing but then I was told to go back to school to get a license, so I did and since then I cannot find a contract. Now, my studies are being threatened because without a paid contract I cannot continue the Master’s program. I am already half way through and spent so much money and time and effort only to be told this.

Last but not least, I need prayers for my daughter who is moving out to study in another state. She will be with family but I worry for her because she has rage issues and learning disabilities which she gets no professional support or takes any medication. I am trying to convince her to talk to a professional and her doctor. I want her to succeed for her sake and I want to see her happy and healthy.

Please pray that my depression will lift and I can love deeply again.

Sorry for the lengthy post.

God bless you and keep you safe.
 
Praying for all your concerns:

St. Thomas Aquinas, intercede for this poster regarding education.

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. :gopray:
 
I’m sorry to read of all your difficulties, it must be worrying for you. Praying that you return to a successful career and that your daughter’s health and studies flourish.
 
Remembering you, your daughter and all of your intentions in my daily prayers. God bless.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

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

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

My heart goes out to you — you are juggling a lot right now. It is easy to get away from going to Mass but you NEED to be there so please try. His presence is real and He is waiting for you to return. That’s first in anything you do- your relationship with our Lord😊 I was a teacher for 30 years ( retired) so I’m a bit confused- were you employed as a teacher but asked to get a different license to teach something you weren’t licenced to teach?

Please know I am praying!! I’m a mother too and we never stop being concerned for our children. It seems when we carry so much our immunities toward physical problems arise. I will pray for this as well. Run to His arms as He loves you more than you can imagine!

My love and prayers, in Christ,

Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence,
I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins my Mother;
to thee do I come,
before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful;
O Mother of thy Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy clemency hear and answer me.
Amen

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.

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.
 
Praying for your intentions and for your daughter. May she come in contact with people who care and are able to help her…

Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel
:signofcross:
St Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
…be our defense against the wickedness and
……snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray
…and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host,
…by the power of God,
…thrust into Hell Satan
…and all the other evil spirits
…who prowl about the world
… seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Amen.

Learning Christ
Teach me, my Lord,
to be sweet and gentle in all the events of life;
in disappointments, in the thoughtlessness of others,
in the insincerity of those I trusted,
in the unfaithfulness of those on whom I relied.

Let me put myself aside,
to think of the happiness of others,
to hide my little pains and heartaches, so
……that I may be the only one to suffer from them.

Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path.
Let me so use it that it may mellow me,
……not harden nor embitter me; that it may make me patient, not irritable;
……that it may make me broad in my forgiveness,
……not narrow, haughty and over-bearing.

May no one be less good for having come within my influence.
No one less pure, less kind, less noble for having been a
……fellow-traveler in our journey toward Eternal Life.

As I go my rounds from one distraction to another,
let me whisper, from time to time, a word of love to Thee.
May my life be lived in the supernatural, full of power and good,
……and strong in its purpose of sanctity.

Update:

I am still in my master’s of teaching program. However, no teaching contract yet.

My daughter moved out and we are helping her to settle in her new place with family. She is adjusting.

Thank you for your prayers.
 
Thank you for the update! You will see how nicely Our Heavenly Father does things for us! Continued prayers for your intentions and for your daughter as she adjusts – and you adjust also. . . .

Original Prayer to St. Michael
Code: 
:signofcross:
“O Glorious Prince of the heavenly host, St. Michael the Archangel, 
defend us in the battle and in the terrible warfare that we are waging
against the principalities and powers, 
against the rulers of this world of darkness, 
against the evil spirits. 
Come to the aid of man, whom Almighty God created immortal, 
.....made in His own image and likeness, 
.....and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of Satan.
 
“Fight this day the battle of the Lord, 
together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the
.....proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless 
.....to resist thee, nor was there place for them any longer in Heaven.
That cruel, ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan who seduces 
.....the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his angels.
Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage. 
Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the
.....multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order 
.....to blot out the name of God and of His Christ,
.....to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined 
.....for the crown of eternal glory. 
This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, 
the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, 
the spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity, 
.....and of every vice and iniquity. 
 
“These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness 
.....the Church, the spouse of the immaculate Lamb,
.....and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions. 
In the Holy Place itself, where the See of Holy Peter and the Chair of Truth has
.....been set up as the light of the world, 
.....they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, 
.....with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep 
.....may be scattered.
 
“Arise then, O invincible Prince,
bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God,
.....and give them the victory.
They venerate thee as their protector and patron; 
.....in thee holy Church glories as her defense against the
.....malicious power of hell; 
to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude. 
Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, 
.....so far conquered that he may no 
.....longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. 
Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, 
.....so that they may quickly find mercy in the sight of the Lord;
and vanquishing the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, 
.....do thou again make him captive in the abyss, 
.....that he may no longer seduce the nations. 
Amen.
 
V. Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered ye hostile powers.***
R. The Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered the root of David.***
V. Let Thy mercies be upon us, O Lord. 
R. As we have hoped in Thee. 
V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto Thee.
Code: 
**Let us pray.**
O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon Thy holy Name,  and as supplicants, we implore Thy clemency, that by the intercession of  Mary, ever Virgin Immaculate and our Mother, and of the glorious St.  Michael the Archangel, Thou wouldst deign to help us against Satan and  all the other unclean spirits who wander about the world for the injury  of the human race and the ruin of souls. 
Amen.”
