Sometimes when I see the suffering of others my own problems seem so petty and small but I am kind of down tonite… because I am tired and in more than one situation I am like a rat in a maze. I have been living in my apartment for seven years as of today. When I first moved there I had a different job and it was close to my job and I had not yet returned to the church. 1. In the past seven years I have seen family after family evicted and my landlady is extremely rude and I know she isn’t fond of me either. 2. I switched jobs and I even got a kind of promotion where I work and I like my job 3. I do not live close to church or my job and I do not have a car so that every time I go to mass or work outside of the hours that the bus runs it is a thirty dollar trip one way. The bus is lousy on weekends. 4.I get off of work at 1230 in the morning and I find I have to spend the nite at work take the six oclock bus and get home at eight oclock in the morning sleep four hours and then get up and get on a one oclock bus in the afternoon and rinse wash repeat. If I take a cab home it is 25 dollars a nite and that adds up. To go to mass is forty or fifty dollars. So I need a dependable car or better yet I need to move… and I want to move. i would like to move within walking distance of my church and on a bus line closer to work. The problem is that my landlady who doesn’t like me anyway is going to find a way to make it very expensive if not impossible to leave. I need a few open doors. Please pray for me.
 
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.
 
Always know that God cares for each person individually, in their own unique situation and struggles. He does not say one person’s struggles are insignificant simply because they are less outwardly difficult than someone else’s. Furthermore, someone living in an outwardly terrible situation, such as poverty or sickness, is often more spiritually secure than someone with less apparent problems, and so God often focuses even more strongly on those people. Remember, God chastizes those He loves. He allows us to experience pain and hardship to prove to us what our weaknesses are and how temporary this world is, and He then offers us the completion and eternity of Himself as the solution. We must be open to that solution and accept it with love and obedience, recognizing Christ as the one and only source of salvation and eternal happiness.

I hope and pray that all your difficulties may be solved, that your landlady may soften her heart and, out of a loving spirit, help you move closer to your job and parish, and that you may find an affordable and dependable vehicle or some other means of improved transportation. I pray for the forgiveness of all your sins, that you may remain firm and resolute in your faith and in your relationship with the Church, resisting all attempts by Satan and the world to drag you to their level, and I pray that the Cross of Christ and the Sorrows of Mary may always give you strength, courage and an increase in love. I also extend these prayers to all those in the world dealing with issues similar to your own, and I ask for the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, your guardian angel, your landlady’s guardian angel, St. Anthony, and St. Christopher. God bless. 🙂

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle
Be our protection 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 evil spirits
Who prowl about the world, seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
 
Read over the terms of the lease you signed, one-year lease or month-to-month lease or whatever the terms are, make sure you know how much advance notice you need to give to be legally within the terms of your lease for moving out, prepare by packing and arranging for movers, find a new apartment, set a date … and the doors will open … that said, yes, prayers, many prayers!

Praying for you.

And ask your Guardian Angel to help.

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
to you do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us;
And after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.
