As some know, I left my job to become a full-time stay at home mom 4 months ago. Unfortunately, we are sinking and we are sinking fast. My husband’s work has taken a significant change for the worst and the hit has been enormous. Today, I sent an email to my former employer inquiring if they would consider taking me back part-time.

Truthfully, I don’t even know if part-time will give us what we need.

My heart is broken over this. I feel so sad and afraid and powerless. I logically know that this isn’t the end of the world. I logically know that my oldest daughter is a wonderful little girl and she went to daycare most of her infancy and toddler-hood. I logically know that my kids will be just fine. Emotionally, I’m in a completely different space than that.

Please pray for my family’s stability, for peace of heart and mind, and for an openness to the solution whatever it may be.
 
Lord, please send the guidance of holy angels to this family to arrange for solutions to this financial and emotional situation, that stability and peace prevail. You promised that God would provide for us far more than the birds of the air, who themselves are provided for (Matt. 6). Please see that this promise be fulfilled with this family. Grant them many graces for faith, hope, love, and joy always. Lead them through this and all enterprises ever toward the eternal garden of life. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, angels, and saints, pray with 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.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now ever shall be world without end
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by 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 the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

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.

Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

We don’t know each other but your name (Ofelia) has come across my view twice today (in different places) and I took note of it for some reason so I feel like God is asking me to pray for you (although there is nothing special about me or my prayers) so I will pray for you and your family. God bless you.

Praying for your intentions.
 
Thank you SO MUCH for your prayers.

I began the 30-day prayer to St. Joseph as was recommended. I had already been in the Novena, but I am doing this as well.

We received a bonus check in the mail two days ago. It came as a surprise, but also as a blessing. It will tide us over for a few more weeks.

I was denied part-time with my former employer. Instead, I am applying at a local flower shop. It feels like such a flashback to highschool to fill out and turn in an application rather than a resume, but I feel excited about this. Even if it doesn’t work out, I feel excited. I am also putting flyers out to get my name out and about to begin playing at weddings again. I did this for years, but haven’t since I started a family. I am eager to use my talents. I am eager to learn something new. I have found someone who I know and trust who will come to our house to watch my girls for a great price while I work. The girls both adore her.

My husband finally heard me in my offers to help him with his business. He now has some ideas on how to better use me and my skill set to better help him.

I feel energized and like things are looking up. I am hopeful. I continue to pray for guidance, and I pray for all of you here as well. God love you. God bless you and your families.

Hail holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.

Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us. And after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.

V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Almighty, everlasting God, who by the cooperation of the Holy Spirit, didst prepare the body and soul of the glorious Virgin-Mother Mary to become a worthy dwelling for Thy Son; grant that we who rejoice in her commemoration may, by her loving intercession, be delivered from present evils and from the everlasting death. Amen.
