Please pray for my friend whose husband is out of work. They’re both about 30 and they have a little boy (5-6yo). DH has a degenerative spine disease on top of which he suffered a workman’s-comp injury 3 years ago which has recently been agitated and he is now unable to continue his construction job. He is awaiting back surgery as well as workman’s-comp deliberations and they’re worried with the new laws that the statute of limitations has expired on his original injury.

They just got a letter this weekend reminding them that their health ins. will expire at the end of this month and my friend will have to start carrying it through her job. She was in tears confessing her concern over how they were going to make ends meet. DH is going to try for his teacher’s license so he can sub in the meantime.

Our parish is getting ready to start another Dave Ramsey program and I plan on loaning her my packet so she doesn’t have to buy one. I’m praying that this is a blessing to her. I pray that I can be a blessing to her. I have a tendency to foot-in-mouth syndrome and I’m praying for God’s help during our next visit that He will help me guard my speech to only those things that would be edifying to her and just help with listening more than speaking.

Offering up my Lent for her family. Many thanks for your prayers.
 
Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee 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.
 
**Praying for your intentions… **

*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 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 death. Amen.
 
May the Lord Jesus Christ provide for all of the needs of this family according to His Will. May he comfort them and grant them his peace. Amen.

Amen.
 
I arise today through God’s strength to pilot me,
God’s might to uphold me,
God’s wisdom to guide me,
God’s eye to look before me,
God’s ear to hear me,
God’s word to speak for me,
God’s hand to gaurd me,
God’s way to lie before me,
God’s shield to protect me,
God’s host to deliver me–
against snares of devils,
against temptations of vices,
against evil inclinations of nature,
against everyone who shall wish me ill,
afar and near,
alone and in a crowd.
 
May the Lord Jesus Christ grant this young couple all of the graces and strengthes that they are in most need of to grow closer in Union with God and with one another according to His Will. May He comfort them and may they be at peace. Amen.
