Graces Received Daughter gets advance notice Our daughter had to leave her nursing job at the hospital because she developed lupus and could no longer work the stressful 12-hour shifts caring for patients. She longed to get a new job with regular hours, shorter shifts, and a healthy work environment. I prayed daily to Blessed George for her to get a new job with regular hours, and that would be good for her mentally, physically, spiritually, and faithfully. Our daughter soon saw and applied for an opening for a nursing position at the local health department. They called her a couple of weeks later saying she must have really wanted the position because she applied for it weeks before it was posted! God must have miraculously shown her the opening! A week later, she was interviewed, and was hired! So many unexpected blessings have come with her new position: higher pay, better benefits, much better working hours and conditions, and much less stress! This is all good for her lupus condition! Thank you, Blessed George, for helping our daughter, and thank you, God, for blessing her in so many ways! — JH, Gaylord, Michigan Son gets a better job My son had lost his job and his prospects were bleak. His faith was faltering. I read letters in the Spring 2024 issue of Marian Helper that explained the graces people had received through the intercession of Blessed George. I didn't know much about him, but I tore out that page with his photo and the prayer for a Special Grace, and posted it on my fridge. Every morning for two months as I went to get my breakfast, I saw that page on the fridge and was reminded to say the Prayer for a Special Grace. Last week my son was offered a much better job than the one he lost. He will start it in two weeks. I know Blessed George has interceded for him. I will leave that page on my fridge and continue to pray and thank him for his help. —MF, Suffolk, Virginia Perfect career opportunity I learned about Blessed George in Marian Helper and felt inspired to lift up my son, Matthew, who had been searching 10 months for employment. Matthew worked hard earning a master’s degree but struggled to even get a look from hopeful employers. I had offered several novenas and Rosaries and attended daily Mass, but was not receiving hoped-for answers. So, having learned of Blessed George, I prayed to him, asking for his intercession to help Matt obtain needed employment. I am happy to say Matt started a new job, and it’s the perfect career opportunity aligning with his education and overall experience. I feel Blessed George was instrumental in leading Matt to solid employment. I’m glad to know about Blessed George and will continue praying to him. — BO, Potomac Falls, Virginia Marian Helper • Fall 2024 • Marian.org 33 For a Blessed George prayer card (B63-CBGP), call toll free 1-800-462-7426.
