Hi everyone,

Graduate School X
I was recently accepted to graduate school about 2 weeks ago, and if I accept their offer, I will begin at the end of this month. Although this graduate school is not my 1st choice school, I wouldn’t mind going there, however if I do decide to attend there it would feel like I would be choosing it for the wrong reasons.

Graduate School Y
On the other hand, I will possibly be accepted to another graduate school, however this graduate school won’t being until next year August 2017. This graduate school is a Catholic graduate school, with small class sizes (which I love), 15 miles closer to home, a peaceful beautiful campus, and it feels like a place where I can thrive, grow, and mature.

In the end the decision comes down to: starting at school X a year earlier vs starting at school Y a year later. I think I would still feel adequate at school X, however I feel I can reach my potential and be the best me at school Y. Keeping in mind, I am 24 years old and it is a 3 year graduate program (I will be commuting from home regardless of which school I end up going to).

I would like to ask for prayers that God Blesses me with guidance in choosing the right school to serve him and a school where both my family and myself are happy.

I thank you all for your prayers, I pray for all of you each day, God Bless!🙂
 
You’ll be in my prayers. I completely understand how you are conflicted about both of those choices, both seem like good options. I will pray God gives you revelation and shows you His will.
 
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.

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.

Praying for the Holy Spirit to guide you. :signofcross:

Try not to be moved by emotions (fear, confusion, desire, etc.). Consider your overall plans, financial situation, etc. And make a wise and well-reasoned choice.

God will be with you regardless of your choice.❤️

And thank God that you have two good choices!

Prayer for the Help of the Holy Spirit

O God, send forth your Holy Spirit into my heart
that I may perceive, into my mind that I may remember,
and into my soul that I may meditate. Inspire me to speak
with piety, holiness, tenderness, and mercy. Teach,
guide, and direct my thoughts and senses
from beginning to end. May your grace ever help
and correct me, and may I be strengthened now
with wisdom from on high, for the sake of your infinite mercy.

Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

– Saint Anthony of Padua

O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, who brought forth the Son of God still remaining a Virgin, assist us in this necessity.
O Star of the Sea, help us, and show us that you are our Mother.

O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth, we humbly ask you from the depths of our heart to help us in this necessity. There are none who can withstand your power.
O show us that you are our Mother.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Sweet Mother, we place this cause in your hands. Amen.
 
Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with 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 thy Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy clemency hear and answer me.
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.

Now and at the hour of our death. 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.
 
Thank you for all of you prayers! They are all tremendously appreciated!

I haven’t decided which school to attend yet, so please continue to pray!

Thank you, I pray for all of you each day, God Bless!🙂
 
Hi everyone,

The deadline is coming up for me to finally decide which school to go to.

Coming to a final decision has been really stressful for me and is tearing me apart inside.

I am thankful that I got accepted to these 2 schools, however having both these options is more difficult than having just 1 of these options.

I sincerely ask for continued prayers.

I thank you everyone who has has prayed for me and given me advice, I thank you all, I pray for all of you each day, God Bless!🙂
 
Hi everyone,

I just would like to provide an update on my situation and kindly asked for continued prayers.

I have decided to go to Graduate School Y (although I have not been formally accepted yet, I have talked to the director and she said that she is 90% certain that I will most likely get accepted).

I would like to ask for prayers that I actually do get accepted and that everything works out great. I pray that I am able to achieve my full potential and be the best person that God wants me to be there and after.

I thank you all for your continued prayers, I pray for all of you each day, God Bless!🙂
 
Praying. . . . Prayer of Apology and Thanksgiving because of forgetfulness to say “thank You” to Our Lord for all the blessings He pours on us and we do not even realize it. The thread could also be closed before we know it and I want to get the “thank You” in. 😉 🙂

Act of Hope and Confidence in God

St. Claude de la Colombiere

:signofcross:
My God,
I believe most firmly that You watch over all who hope in You,
and that we can want for nothing when we rely upon You in all things.
Therefore I am resolved for the future…to cast all my cares upon You.
People may deprive me of worldly goods and status.
Sickness may take from me my strength and the means of serving You.
I may even jeopardize our relationship by sin, but my trust shall never leave me.
I will preserve it to the last moment of my life, and the powers of hell shall seek
…… in vain to grab it from me.
Let others seek happiness in their wealth and in their talents.
Let them trust in the purity of their lives,
the severity of their mortifications,
in the number of their good works,
the enthusiasm of their prayers,
as for me, my Rock and my Refuge, my confidence in you fills me with hope.
For You, my Divine Protector, alone have settled me in hope.
“This confidence can never be vain. No one, who has hoped in God, has
…… ever been confounded.”
I am assured, therefore, of my eternal happiness,
…… for I firmly hope in it and all my hope is in You.
“In You, O loving God, have I hoped: let me never be confounded.”
I know too well that I am weak and changeable. I know the power of
…… temptation against the strongest virtue.
I have seen stars fall and foundations of my world crack;
…… these things do not alarm me.
While I hope in You, I am sheltered from all misfortune,
…… and I am sure that my trust shall endure,
…… for I rely upon You to sustain this unfailing hope.
Finally, I know that my confidence cannot exceed Your generosity, and that I
…… shall never receive less than I have hoped for from You.
Therefore I hope that You will sustain me against my evil inclinations,
…… that You will protect me against the deceitful attacks of the evil one,
…… and that You will cause my weakness to triumph over every hostile force.
I hope that You will never cease to love me and that I shall love You unceasingly.
“In You, O loving God, have I hoped: let me never be confounded.”

St Claude de la Colombiere, pray for us!

Apology and Thanksgiving Prayer

Heavenly Father,
Creator of all and source of all goodness and love,
please look kindly upon us,
as we ask for forgiveness for not giving You thanks.
Please receive our heartfelt apology for the lack of gratitude.
Remind us at all times that You are always worthy of our thanks.

Thank You, Heavenly Father,
for all the graces and blessings
You have bestowed upon us:
our faith and religious heritage;
the Priests who bring us the Sacraments;
our life, food and shelter;
our health, the love we have for one another;
our Police Officers and Firefighters who keep us safe;
our Soldiers and Veterans who fight and fought for our Country;
our family and friends.
Thank You for the people You so generously send us;
…everything You grant us
…and of which we are not even aware.
Dear Father, in Your infinite generosity, please grant us the grace of having
…less “give me” and more gratitude throughout the coming
…years so that we may be aware that anything from You is good
…for You turn the “bad” into blessings for us.
Please Lord, grant us the grace of not forgetting that we can thank You
…over and over again for the same gift – and if we
…forget, may our Guardian Angel remind us.
Thank You, Lord.
I Love You, Lord.
Amen… …by Luz María

:signofcross:
Let Nothing Disturb You
Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.

Patience,
Obtains all things,
Whoever has God
Lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

Santa Teresa de Jesús
(Santa Teresa de Ávila)
