There are two prayer requests this week. The first one is from Jeff who is asking for feedback/suggestions on the type of prayer that will help him find work, similar to the one he found 32 years ago. The second request is from Sonia, and she’s specifically asking for prayers at 1:00 pm tomorrow, London time. The category on the sidebar titled Prayer Requests will link you back to any of the previous ones you may have missed. Thank you for your prayers and for sharing your time.

Prayer Request from Sonia:
Hi
I would like you to pray for me especially tomorrow at 1 PM lONDON TIME
After an abusive marriage where my husband stole all my savings , I was left peniless and resorted to not very right ways of making money . I could make my parents and selfish brother happy with the money , sometime last year I stopped all the not very right activities and started living with whatever I could but looks like when I started following the right path everything is going wrong , my brother hardly speaks to me cause I no longer have money for him to lavishly waste , I lost my job to a girl who I felt sorry for and recruited inspite of her not even speaking the language correctly , and I have now been called my the police for an audition tomorow with regards to my previous employement along with my ex boss ….I m not sure what it is about but I just hope it s not about my previous activities …….. i NEED A MIRICLE ; I need my past to be forgiven and forgotten , I have a newborn premature baby and I really don t need this stress now 
I have been praying the rosary for the past few days and I feel at peace I am not as anxious as I normally would be when faced with such an issue ….yet I wish to start a fresh and I need this grace I need my past to be forgiven and forgotten and would mlove it if nothing hinders my future ambitions .

Hello, my name is Margo. When I was 23 years old and working as a part-time nanny in New York City I had the pleasure of caring for a little 5-year-old boy named Alexander. One day I had been overcome with sadness and in a weak moment, I found myself confiding to this little boy about a friend I couldn't find because he was lost. Alexander, quickly responded without missing a beat, “Follow a trail!” [

Dear Sonia,
Here is a prayer for you (from TAN Books, Favorite Prayers to St. Joseph: https://tanbooks.benedictpress.com/index.php/page/shop:flypage/product_id/436)
Prayer to St. Joseph to Obtain a Special Favor
O blessed Saint Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, we pray and beseech thee to offer to God the Father His divine Son, bathed in blood on the Cross for sinners, and through the thrice-holy Name of Jesus, obtain for us from the Eternal Father the favor we implore. (Name your request.)
Appease the Divine anger so justly inflamed by our crimes, beg of Jesus mercy for thy children. Amid the splendors of eternity, forget not the sorrows of those who suffer, those who pray, those who weep; stay the Almighty arm which smites us, that by thy prayers and those of thy most holy spouse, the Heart of Jesus may be moved to pity and to pardon. Amen. St. Joseph, pray for us.
Dear Sonia, If I may say… please seek Confession.
-Chris
Dear Jeff, I found a prayer for you. (from TAN Books, Favorite Prayers to St. Joseph: https://tanbooks.benedictpress.com/index.php/page/shop:flypage/product_id/436)
O Dear St. Joseph, faithful foster father of Jesus Christ, I devoutly come before thy sacred image and implore thine aid and intercession in my present necessity. I know and firmly believe that to thee all things are possible with God, and that the sweet Infant Jesus, who on earth was subject to thee, His reputed father, can now in Heaven refuse thee no request. Thy faithful servant, the seraphic St. Teresa, experienced this and declared that never did she present to thee a petition that thou didst not grant; at the same time she invites all to have recourse to thee, assuring them that they will not depart form thee unconsoled.
Encouraged by this promise, I fly to thee, O holy Joseph, foster father of Jesus Christ and chaste spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, beseeching thee by the tender love through didst bear to both to bestow on me they love and mercy. Comfort me in my present trial and affliction and obtain for me, through Jesus and Mary, that God the Father may grant my petition. Send up to the Heart of they beloved Jesus but a single sigh, lovingly present to Him my request; then I shall certainly obtain it and be consoled in my distress.
To obtain this favor I shall now say three Our Fathers and Hail Marys.
Chris
Jeff, I wanted to mention as well… Pray the Rosary daily.
Best!
Chris
