to It is Well with My Soul
Heavenly Father, it is symptomatic of our life today that economics plays a large part in it. People labor zealously for a wage , so that they can acquire the needs of life for themselves and their families. They also work for the so-called luxuries of life, for the opportunity to have more leisure to develop themselves in more ways, and to keep up with their particular state of life. Right now I find myself in a bad economic condition. I just cannot seem to make enough money to take care of myself and my family. Please help me in this dangerous situation. Teach me to live within my means while at the same time striving to increase those means. Let me never lose heart, but continue to work on. Most of all, inspire me to seek first your kingdom in the knowledge that everything else will be given me together with it. Amen.
To Our
Mother of Perpetual Help
Realizing, dearest Mother of Perpetual Help, that thou art our perpetual help not only in spiritual but also in temporal necessities, we approach thee with submissive and humble hearts because we have a child-like and affectionate trust in thy power and goodness, beseeching thee to assist us in our present financial worry. Owing to untoward circumstances which have arisen in our lives, we are in dire want and pecuniary embarrassment, being unable to meet our honest debts.
We are not asking, dearest Mother of Perpetual Help, for wealth, if the possession of it is not in accordance with the holy will of God. We merely beg of thee that assistance which will enable us to satisfy our most pressing obligations.
We believe, Dear Mother of God, that thou art the Queen of heaven and earth, and as such, the instrument and special dispenser of thy divine Son's graces; that thou hast acquired by virtue of thy wonderful dignity, a sweet jurisdiction over all creation. We believe that thou art not only rich and bountiful, but extremely kind and generous to all thy loving and devoted children. We plead with thee, therefore, dear Mother, to obtain for us the help we so urgently need in our present financial difficulty. We thank thee, dear Lady of Perpetual Help, and promise to publish far and near, the glories of thy miraculous picture. Amen.
