I need a favor...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

Tonight when you guys are going to bed, please do me a favor. Slip a real quick line into your prayers for me. "Please let Melissa get this job so she can get out of the awful living situation she's currently in." That's the line. I had a really great job interview today with the mortgage branch of a large banking institution today, and I think I have a really good shot at it. I appreciate you taking that second to help me out. I think that if all of you pray for me I may have a better chance. You never know.
Thanks,
Mel

11. Online prayer sites that may be of interest include

http://www.sancta.org/

Wonderful site dedicated to Our Lady of Guadelupe; faithfully maintained for many years, an early internet discovery of mine. Much, much info about OLG and other topics as well, and ) So I did one for you! ;-)

http://www.stjudenovena.org/

Learn how to pray the St. Jude novena and a lot about St. Jude. Great novena for many purposes.


Besides OLG and St. Jude, I have a special fondness for Our Lady of Perpetual Help, but there doesn't seem to be an OLPH site comparable to the OLG site I listed above. Here is a link to the history of the icon of OLPH:

and here's a novena prayer:

Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help

Say each day for nine days


See at Your feet, O Mother of Perpetual Help, a poor sinner who has recourse to You and confides in You.


O Mother of Mercy, have pity on me! I hear You called the refuge and the hope of sinners; be my refuge and my hope.

Help me, for the love of Jesus Christ; stretch forth Your hand to a poor fallen creature who recommends himself/herself to You, and who devotes himself/herself to Your service forever. I bless and thank Almighty God, who in His mercy had given me this confidence in You, which I hold to be a pledge of my eternal salvation.

Mary, tender Mother, help me. Mother of Perpetual Help, never allow me to lose my God. Amen.

Then say the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be, three times each.

17. Be sure to let us know when you hear about the job!

And ask St. Joseph for his prayers for you -- many people believe he's the best one to get on your prayer team when your prayer involves work.

18. I should know early this week...

They called on thursday to let me know they were doing my background checks. She said they don't do that unless they were planning on offering you employment. Have you heard of the infallable prayer? A friend of mine has used it and it worked, and has seen it work for others. It's a prayer you pray to St. Joseph for nine days, and on the ninth day you usually get your answer.
