I would so appreciate any prayers you could offer on my dh's behalf (and our family's).

It looks like he will lose his primary job as a technical writer, as his company will be having massive layoffs soon, and we're on pins and needles. His job as a church organist is tenuous due to a huge consolidation of Catholic churches here in Buffalo, NY. We're losing at least 100 churches and schools in mergers and closings, which has already begun.

If you could please pray for us, we'd SO appreciate it. We know God is not surprised by this, but it could be devastating financially to our family, and I'm quite scared. But it's always easy to trust God in easy times, isn't it? The challenge and test comes when it's difficult. I know God's will will be done, and I trust in that. It's just not an easy time right now.

Thank you so much for all of your prayers...........

Tracy, all of my Rosary novena prayers I have asked God to give you retroactively

...and, you are added indefinitely to our daily Saint Joseph prayers, our perpetual novena.

Blessings on you all through these hard times,
