Mass redundancies

L.E.U.V., Peru

February 21, 2012

I work in a development and poverty relief program in a deprived area of my country. Times have been hard, so much so that our project had to close down suddenly and we had to dismiss more than 38 participants who had been helping over 800 producers. My family and I were praying that we would be able to continue supporting the program. Amidst all this uncertainty we had to take our children out of their school in Lima because we had to move to the center of the country […]

Helped to find the error

M. S., Portugal

February 19, 2012

On January 6, 2012, I was doing a bank reconciliation in the office where I work and found that there was a difference of 239.42 euros between the bank statement and the accounts. I went carefully through the bank statement and the accounts, and could not find the error. I decided to stop and pray the prayer on the prayer-card to Saint Josemaria with faith, and when I finished it, I saw straight away the entry that I had missed. I gave thanks to Saint Josemaria who I consider had helped me to find the error.

Finishing my thesis for the deadline

V. D., Indonesia

February 19, 2012

I have been praying to St. Josemaria for 6 months asking him the favor of being able to finish my undergraduate thesis on time while at the same time get an internship job at a company I prefer. I used the Novena for Work. I did get the internship job. Meanwhile the deadline for submission of thesis was getting round and I still had difficulties with it. I kept praying to St. Josemaria. He heard my prayer because I finished my thesis right on the week of graduation registration. I was even given a consideration to register for graduation for this period. I graduated last Dec. 9 and I thank St. Josemaria for that important favor. I continue to have devotion to him and to pray to him for my other intentions.

In difficult situations

M. A.

February 18, 2012

A very close family member suffered problems ever since she was quite young. She got married, had a daughter, got separated, had several partners, all of them with problems, started drinking heavily, couldn’t keep any jobs... After I began praying for her through St Josemaria’s intercession, I saw that she was gradually getting better, first in herself, and then in her situation and relations with other people. When she was better I gave her the prayer-card of St Josemaria. She has found a growing inner peace and has found God again. She was also greatly helped by a copy of the Novena for Work that I gave her. Now she is more focused and more attentive to her daughter. It is a real miracle and I think St Josemaria’s intercession played a large part in it.

Even more grateful for the presence of God in my life

February 15, 2012

I returned to college after having our children to study nursing. During the time I was in school my husband lost his job and though he eventually found work we spent much of our savings on living expenses and my education. Though I earned excellent grades and had related healthcare work experience I was unable to find a job as a new graduate. I applied for hundreds of jobs even those I did not want and was not suited for. I could not understand why I could not find work despite my best efforts. Month after month passed without a single call and I grew more depressed, distressed and fearful about our future. I began to wonder if I had made a mistake in returning to school or becoming a nurse. Why had I been called to nursing if there was no place for me? I felt broken and confused and angry much of the time. My insecurity led to profound anxiety that permeated every area of my life. I was ready to give up but realized there was no way to do so. I had to find work!

No children arrived

C. P., Spain

February 13, 2012

We had been married for four years and after a miscarriage no children arrived. One day my husband and I decided to pray the prayer-card of St. Josemaria every night asking him to intercede for us to be parents. After three months I became pregnant and our son José was born on September 14. I still pray every day for St. Josemaria’s protection for my family and for him to help us always to love God’s Will. Thank you, St. Josemaria!

Late career job found

USA

February 7, 2012

I have been unemployed for several months since my previous employer went out of business. I am near the end of my career but I still wanted to continue in my work as a Software Engineer. Someone from my Church approached my about a position opening at his company. I believed God had a hand in it because I had just completed a short term project that gave me the experience needed for the new position. So after interviewing with the company I started praying the Novena for finding a job to St. Josemaria. On the last day of the Novena I got a call from the company and they made me an offer. Thanks be to God and thank you Josemaria for your intercession.

A missing document

J.L.G.M., Spain

January 26, 2012

I was making arrangements for a family we knew to come and spend their holidays in our house. Our government is currently very reluctant to grant permission for foreigners to stay in the country, especially if their country of origin has been the source of considerable recent illegal immigration.

My 22-month son wouldn’t eat, I prayed, nothing happened. I promised St. Josemaria that if my baby started eating I would publish the favor. Thank God, my son is now eating normally. Thank you St. Josemaria for this and many other favors received.

I have always prayed through St Josemaria’s intercession, but the favors he has recently obtained for me from God are overwhelming.

My marriage is going well, and for all of this I am immensely grateful to St Josemaria: in my most difficult times, he heard my petitions. Many thanks.

Thanks to our friend in Heaven

B. N., USA.

January 16, 2012

My husband and I have struggled very much in our vocations and in our finances. He was unemployed for years but after just a few weeks of trying to live St Josemaria's messages and praying the novena to St Josemaria for Families and the novena for Work for a specific job my husband was offered the exact job we prayed for and our marriage is now very strong. We give all glory to God and thanks to our friend in heaven.
