Prayer Requests

A reader writes:

My great aunt is a Sister of Charity. She is about 88 years old and her health has rapidly declined in recent months, to the point that she is in hospice care and has very little or no awareness of her surroundings or who she is. She has few relatives nearby, and even if she did she probably would not recognize them. I pray that she be given peace in what are probably her final months and that she be granted the grace of a happy death after her nearly 70 years of faithful service to the Lord–and that those who love and worked with her may be brought peace as well.

Second, an update on the job interviews I mentioned a couple weeks ago–I am now waiting to hear back on about 5. I had one employer tell me they were excited and wanted to bring me on but just didn’t have the resources they thought they were going to have. I am waiting to hear on the rest. There is one I am really hoping for, and I really believe it is about 50-50 at the moment as to whether I get it. I ask for prayers that this opportunity, or one of these others, work out, as there really isn’t a lot else even on the horizon. I ask for grace and discernment to find God’s will in all of this.

Father, hear our prayer through your Son Jesus Christ. Mother Mary, pray for my reader and his needs.
