Lord, if jrichard could get to Mass before or after work every day - or at least pray more each day - that would be great for him in his situation. Please grant him the peace and strength he needs to endure his stressful work environment. May he keep prayerful and grow closer to you through this struggle he is having, and have this situation improve. Please grant him the graces he needs to keep faithful and to perform well at work, so he doesn’t encounter any problems with his boss. May his boss have his heart softened this Christmas and be good, kind, and respectful to jrichard. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer. Aemn.
