Prayer to Saint Joseph for all sick husbands to find help.

O glorious St. Joseph,
friend of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
thou whose power renders impossible things possible,
come to our aid in our present trouble and distress.
Take these important and difficult affairs
which we recommend to your protection,
that they may end happily.

O dear St. Joseph,
all our confidence is in you.
Let it not be said that we have invoked you in vain,
and since you are so powerful with Jesus and Mary,
show that your goodness equals power.

Amen.

**PRAYER TO ST. MONICA

Dear St. Monica,
troubled wife and mother,
many sorrows pierced your heart during your lifetime.
Yet, you never despaired or lost faith.
With confidence, persistence, and profound faith,
you prayed daily for the conversion
of your beloved husband, Patricius,
and your beloved son, Augustine;
your prayers were answered.
Grant me that same fortitude, patience,
and trust in the Lord.
Intercede for me, dear St. Monica,
that God may favorably hear my plea for

the conversion of my husband, healing and salvation of our marriage, and the strong faith of our son, the conversion of all sinners in our families and of the spouses being prayed for here by CAF members,**

and grant me the grace to accept His Will in all things,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.

Amen.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.

Ladies,

Please pray for me today. I think I may be falling into a depression after the birth of my baby. It has happened to me before. I feel like I am not caring for my family like I should and it is hard to get up in the morning and get to work and see that the kids get what they need etc. I will be seeing the doctor today because kids are sick and will talk about me as well maybe get on medication again to get back on track to be there for my kids and husband. I think the list is great especially for me who has a hard time remembering lately. I will pray for all on this thread at adoration today after I take kids to the doctors.

Praying for you mnmon, I am glad you are getting help and we will help with the prayers. God bless you!
 
Hi ladies…

I’ve been so sick with morning sickness all day that’s why I haven’t been around much. DH still hasn’t heard about that job, which I take to mean he didn’t get it. 😦 I just cannot handle being our sole source of income anymore when I’m feeling so terrible…we don’t need to be rich, but we need DH to have a job to replace mine, and it just won’t happen. I just don’t know what to do anymore. 😦

Sorry to be such a downer, I know others have more difficult problems. I’m sorry to say I haven’t been praying much but will pray for all of you right now.
 
Dearest Belle…do not be so hard on yourself my dear.

God knows your heart, the very deepest, and if this is not happening right now, there is a different, or better reason.
I know it is hard to feel hopeful in prayer, and upbeat,
especially feeling so ill, and so distraught. However, you
must never forget he is sitting right next to you.
HE is with you, even when you feel so alone. So ask him this.
Ask him to hold you, and comfort you while all the darkness is comming over you. Ask him to help fight it off when you are so weak. Tell him you can not do it alone, and you need him.

THAT is all he ever wants to hear from us!

Belle:

I feel for you regarding your situation. I will keep praying that you dh gets a job so that you may be home with the kids. Life can be a challenge. Hopefully, your morning sickness will go away soon, too. On a positive note: it sounds like you have good husband. Please pray for mine. I am having outpatient surgery tomorrow and he won’t be with me. I don’t want him there because he doesn’t care. It’s very sad. Anyway, I’ll be praying VERY hard for you and your family! God bless you and take care of you! Much love,
 
mom4truth

Then who will be hun…please tell me you will have someone with you! No one should go through being put under, alone!

I will pray for you as well…mine “forgot” to come home again, but i at least got a call this time!

Lana
 
Lana,

These husbands of ours!:eek: !! I will pray for yours to get it together, please pray the same for mine. My parents will go with me. They’re concerned, at least. Thanks, Lana!😉
 
:extrahappy: This pleases me…thank you Lord!

And about them husbands, maybe we should remove their rank, and place it back to what they deserve…boy! I never did like Social Promotion just to be with their peers! :whistle:

Thanks Lana. I know you’re right that He’s always with me, but when I beg for help I don’t seem to get it. My heart knows He’s there but without any change in sight it’s just hard to stay positive, you know?

Thanks M4T. Please find someone to go with you – prayers for your surgery.
 
Belle darling, i know what you are saying, but i guess i said it wrong…i will say it differently so you can feel what i was trying to say, and bring yourself some rest.

When i was to except difficult things before me, like my son being terminal at age 7, or him dieing at age 18 (4 years ago) there seemed to be no place left for me to turn. I knew all of the facts, i knew he was near, i knew i could pray to him, but i was lost in this darkness, i could not connect with him.

I was asked, and meant to be a mother, why take him now. I knew he had a plan, i just did not see it. So, in finding peace, i had to say…i leave it in your hands…what ever comes before me, it will have something in it that will bring me closer to you. Please help me find it. And in the mean time, i am a broken vessel, torn, hurting, and feel so very alone with this task you have placed before me. When even i do not believe in me, you do!

This i ask of you lord, that if i am not meant to find the answers i need right now, and i believe you know what is best for me, then i ask you this deeply and with the utmost care. Give me the strength to endure. Please hold me, please give me rest emotionally so that i can put the emotional side of this that is stressing me out, on the back burner, and let me catch my breath.

Only you Lord can do this, as i am hurting, and can not do this without you. Please place upon me the gift to endure. So my family has me as their example to find you in their dark places as well.

Wrap your arms around me, hold me, take the pain and sorrow from my heart, the fear, the exhaustion and the world. Let it be only your world i see, and world towards…for this i pray Father.

Your daughter in need…

Re: Who are those who plead: Don’t abandon me.

Did Francis, cold and spent, sit on a bench, near the river Thames -
limning his inner vision of Jesus, walking the waters again?

…The angels keep their ancient places-
Turn but a stone and start a wing!
'Tis ye, 'tis your estrangèd faces,
That miss the many-splendored thing.

But (when so sad thou canst not sadder)
Cry–and upon thy so sore loss
Shall shine the traffic of Jacob’s ladder
Pitched betwixt Heaven and Charing Cross.

Yea, in the night, my Soul, my daughter,
Cry–clinging to Heaven by the hems;
And lo, Christ walking on the water,
Not of Genesareth, but Thames!

-Francis Thompson

Frances i believed was far beyond the bench sitting.
I think he would have come to the waters edge looking for the connection between where he stood, and what he knew was out there.

He seen the beauty in life, and the beauty of seeing or knowing Christ was walking within reach…almost.

The delema, the soul, the daughter clung to the hems of heaven.
In this i feel he means hope, knowing it was there, but not knowing how to get TO it. What form of portage could he immagine, excepting his tears being the ladder to heaven.

IMHO

BeeSweet:

I thank you so much for posting the St. Monica Novena every day! Even though I don’t post that I’m doing the Novena, I say it every day because you’ve put it “out there” for me to see! By the way - HOW ARE YOU DOING? I haven’t seen any posts from you lately. I’m hoping all is well with you and your family. Prayers coming that Our Dear Lord keeps you close! Much love,

I don’t know if this has already been suggested, but can you transition over to a job out of your house? I have three part time online jobs that bring in real paychecks. There are some frauds out there, but it is possible to find real jobs online. I didn’t go back to work after my maternity leave for our third child ended in February and it was absolutely one of the smartest decisions we ever made. We have to cut way back and are planning for the fall when our savings will likely be gone, so of course it is not easy.

Can’t your husband find just ANY type of job (maybe two jobs), not necessarily in his field? Moving companies, pizza delivery, substitute teaching, stocking shelves, etc? I know not all husbands are supportive of their wives needing to be home, and maybe yours is not.

You have probably already thought of these options, but I just thought I would put in my two cents. Last year I had to leave my precious 4 month old (2nd child) to go back to my teaching job and it absolutely broke my heart. I know how you feel!

You’re sweet to ask:heart: I don’t talk about my troubles much because it’s so painful. Please pray for my husband, he must go into counseling or there’s just no hope for us. He’s afraid. I’ve had to distance myself from him emotionally so he can’t hurt me as much. We’re not sleeping together anymore, and he’s not even asked why. We’re still pleasant to each other though.

My husband is emotionally sick. Our lives are such a mess. Prayer is probably the only thing keeping us together. If only he could hear Jesus calling him!

Belle10,

I am so sorry for your troubles. I’ll continue to send prayers your way. If your dh didn’t get this job, then there must be a better one out there for him. I hope he finds it soon.
