Hi,

I don’t get much money, and I am constantly anxious about whether I will have enough to eat, pay for gas, medicine, etc. And I am not good with food so I usually buy cheap unhealthy food, because I don’t know how to eat healthy on the amount I have. I need help with food and money especially. Worrying about car repairs etc is also anxiety producing. Please pray that I find help managing my money, and also finding healthy food that I can afford. I need help with money, and I think money issues are the most anxiety producing struggles in my life. Please pray for me to have help with this. As far as I know, St. Mathew is the patron saint of money issues, considering he was a tax collector. Any requests for his intercession are quite welcome. Also, pray for the improvement of the economic situation of the United States and our citizens in the midst of financial ills we are in.

God bless you. Amen.
 
I pray that God will guide you with your money issues. I hope that you may find a way to eat healthy food on your budget; that would help you feel better I might imagine Also, we pray for an end to the dismal economic situation of the US that it may soon improve and lessen
the stress lack of money is causing so many.
God bless you as well.
Mary.
 
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

and to St. Matthew!
 
I will pray for you. Have you tried seeking help from your priest, your local
St. Vincent de Paul Society, Salvation Army or food pantry?

God bless you.
 
Are these prescription meds? Many doctor’s offices have services where they work with insurance companies to get reduced or free medications. You might also be eligible for things like gas cards, free financial counseling, etc.
 
I am happy to pray for you and ask you to pray for me, too.
 
Our country as well as our Church provide many services for people in need like yourself. You may have to do some asking around and a little research but I am positive that the help you need is out there. There are even services to help with money management and this is something that can bring you some stress relief almost immediately. Eating healthy is very difficult for a lot of us. One thing I would like to suggest is that you see to it that you have at least a decent breakfast everyday, this will help you I am sure. You can purchase bulk cereal fairly reasonably and this plus and apple can make for an excellent start. Many food banks provide these types of staples, check it out. I will pray for you to have your needs met.
 
Praying that the Lord may guide you in managing money, finding healthy food and that He may improve the current situation in the US.

Offering these prayers through the intercession of St. Matthew.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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
 
This might be worth absolutely nothing. For sure, it’s very little.

But I remember reading the account of a well-traveled Englishman in the 18th Century remarking that, of all the people of Europe, the Irish were by far the healthiest and best looking.

He attributed that to their diet. Now brace yourself. The typical Irish diet at the time was potatoes boiled with the skin on (the high-grade nutrients are all right under the skin) always served with buttermilk (the landowners got the butter) and sometimes a very modest bit of fish or meat to flavor the whole. (The landowners got nearly all of the meat)

In the rest of Europe at the time, the typical dietary staple was bread, with perhaps some whole milk, ale or beer, and a bit of fish or meat now and then. They ate all the fat they could get their hands on.

If one ate the “Irish diet” now, even a significant part of the time, it would be very inexpensive, particularly if one bought those really cheap potatoes, washed them well and trimmed them.

Another hint, but also somewhat boring. Mexican “temporary workers” who work hard but are trying to save every nickel to take back with them, eat tortillas, refried beans and eggs at nearly every meal. Very inexpensive, but almost certainly not as healthful as the “Irish diet”.

I’ll pray for you too. But check those things out.
 
Eternal Father,
we praise you for sending your Son
to be one of us and to save us.
Look upon your people with mercy,
for we are in desperate need of your help.
Please send the Holy Spirit
with the graces needed for peace from economic
Troubles And guidance.
Amen.
