If you have read any posts lately submitted by me, you will know that we have a 15 mo with another one due at Christmas. My husband dropped his classes mid-way thru the semester (this is the 3rd attempt at school and the 3rd time to drop classes). It was after the deadline, so we will not be getting a refund.

Recently he put in for a better-paying job at work, and if that one didn’t pan out, there was another one he would try for. This week someone higher up was let go, so these jobs have been put on hold.

Praise be to God that we were able to reach a settlement on some of our medical expenses very quickly. I had a foot injury at the beginning of September and shortly after, my husband had a staph infection. Thanks be to God, nothing serious, but the bills are piling up. I do not have enough PTO for maternity leave, nor do we have enough savings to pay our bills.

Please God, I am praying for a miracle. My husband is a convert and struggling right now, so prayer is the furthest thing from his mind, although I may just start pulling him aside every now and then for a simple Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.

Saying the 3-Hail Mary Novena right now as well as daily prayers for my husband and trying to make stations of the cross w/ my little one several times a week. Will start up a novena to St.Rita again.

We are both struggling with work. He is on overload, working long hours (hopefully this will help our finances a little) and really hates being there at this time - others are not pulling their weight. I am having a hard time now that my son is old enough and at a very delightful stage. My longing to be at home is growing stronger and making it harder for me to be at work and do my honest best. There are a lot of changes going on at my office which may result in job loss in the next year (we’ve known this for a year) and with the employees who have left lately that are not being rehired, the work load is piling up on everyone. The office morale is very low and I wish I could lift up my co-workers and be a light to them, but I am struggling too.

I am a bit of a control freak, so I that is adding to my cross right now. First and foremost, and if nothing else, I just need help bearing my cross with grace - feeling very selfish and spiteful towards others right now and bitter about our situation. Please help me to be gracious to my husband who is busting his hump for us and patience and trust in God and above all - FAITHFULNESS!!! God Bless You all and thank you in advance for your thoughts and prayers.

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.

Please say the following prayer right now to release 1,000 souls from purgatory (Approval and Recommendation signed by M. Cardinal Pahiarca, Lisbon, Portugal March 4, 1936.): Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy Souls in Purgatory. Amen

**O JESUS, I humbly implore you to grant your special graces to this family. May their home and workplaces be places of peace, purity, love, labor, and faith. I beg you jesus to protect and bless all of them.

Hear us, Lord, and send your angel from heaven to visit and protect, to comfort and defend this family.

AMEN**
 
JLCecilia,

Know I am praying for you now. :signofcross:

God is always there supporting us now matter how hard it is. I know this is hard to see sometimes. You sound very faithful. Sometimes we as wives have to carry the burdens of our husbands in their time of struggle along with our own. How blessed you are to bear this cross! May he comfort you in your struggles and ease your burdens as well as your hubby’s. I hope you feel His love today!

In Peace,
DS

JLCecilia,
I too long to be home with our daughter, so I understand your pain all too well. (We’re struggling financially too.) Lately I have been striving to unite my suffering in this area to Jesus’ passion. Just this morning I said to Him: “Jesus, I know this suffering is tiny compared to what you suffered, but it’s still hard for me and it still hurts a lot.” I’ve also been trying to offer my pain on behalf of those who have the pain of not being able to have children.
Honestly, the more I focus on uniting my sadness to Jesus’ cross, and through the Divine Mercy, I’m doing a little better everyday. I’ll remember you in my Divine Mercy Chaplet today.
God bless,
Belle :hug1:

:crossrc: Lord Jesus, please be with JLCecilia and her husband. They’re trying their best to take care of their family and to stay close to you, but they are struggling. Please strengthen their faith, their patience, and give them the ability to endure their situation with joy, knowing you are in control. Nothing comes to us outside your permission - help us to remember that you are caring for us always, even when it seems otherwise. Thank you Lord Jesus, we love you, Amen. :crossrc:
 
I have placed your petitions within my heart and will carry them with me to Mass and I will remember your petitions in my daily prayers.
:signofcross: :gopray2:
 
I will be keeping your whole situation and your hubby in my heart and in my prayer and with Our Lady and St. Joseph - St. Joseph is the patron of families…

I thank you Lord for blessing this family and let their faith in you grow everyday. Thank you Lord , in the name of Jesus , amen . John
 
Please add to your prayers my husband’s arm. He has contracted his second staph infection in a month and he’s feeling pretty sick this morning. I may call on Father for another Annointing of the Sick - this worked wonders last time and he knows of my concerns for our situation - we cannot afford for my husband to miss any more work.
Also, pray for my boss to be more gracious about my time off needs and help me to be at peace with her attitude towards me. As I said before, a lot of transition is going on in our office and I’m sure she’s under a lot of stress w/ all the meetings she has to attend, but she has been pretty spiteful to me whenever I have come to her lately about taking off to be at home with my son while my sitter takes some time off for herself. I have been praying for my boss whenever she gets me down with her attitude.
Thanks and God Bless.
 
Will keep your husand in prayer and your boss and her attitude towards you…
