Courtesy of a reasonable severance package, a fairly lucrative seasonal job and unemployment benefits that get recharged from it, my family is not suffering too much as a result of the loss of my full-time, year-round job, but it has been since May, 2007 that I have been regularly employed and it is wearing on my dignity. There are now some leads and we really need for one of them to pay off. I have entrusted the matter to Saint Joseph under his title of Saint Joseph the Worker, but I would be grateful for prayerful assistance form you and your readers.

Father, hear our prayer through your Son Jesus Christ and the intercession of St. Joseph.
