Digital Marian Helper Winter_2016-2017

7ø[h cedj^i" ^kiXWdZ ][ji `eX I am writing to tell you about a favor I believe I received from Blessed George. My husband is a computer consultant and works on a freelance basis. Usually, when he finishes a job, another comes pretty quickly. But in 2015, months went by and nothing was happening. We have a lot of debt, so we both need to be working. (I got downsized out of my job of 14 years last year and was able to get another one, but at half the pay!) I had read about Blessed George in your maga- zine, and the prayers he answered happened to be about needing and getting jobs, so I thought I would pray to him and ask him to help us. I started, and about three weeks into it, I came home and my husband told me he had a new assignment starting that Monday. I’ve been praying for months, and now right after I started praying to Blessed George, my prayers were answered. I believe that God wanted him to be the one to intercede for us. I am so relieved and grateful. — LC, Woodlyn, Pennsylvania 8hej^[hÉi a_Zd[o YWd X[ iWl[Z Last November, my 60-year-old brother was told he would have to lose a kidney due to infection. I told him to carry the Blessed George prayercard with him wherever he went, as a reminder to pray. This week his specialist called and said his kidney could be saved. My brother keeps the prayercard in his room. Also, my sis- ter didn’t have a job for months. I asked Blessed George to intercede, and two weeks ago she got a job she loves. I pray for his intercession and for the Holy Souls in Purgatory daily. —AT, Cambridge, Massachusetts Ied ][ji j^[ h_]^j `eX I promised Blessed George that I would write to you if my son received a job that was good for him. One day I read the Spring 2016 issue of Marian Helper . I saw Blessed George’s face, and I felt his eyes looking directly at me. I read three stories about sons finding good jobs, and I asked Blessed George to help my son get the one that God had chosen for him. A few hours later, my son called me and told me that he had had interviews with two companies that visited his col- lege. His interviews took place about the same time I first made my prayer. A few days later, my son told me that another com- pany had called him for an interview. They flew him in and paid for all his expenses. They offered him a position. And another company also did the same. Both offered him a generous salary. I believe that my son will be doing the work that God created him for and will allow him to be economically self-suf- ficient after years of hard work. — DG, New York, New York I_ij[h#_d#bWm ][ji `eX My sister-in-law had to resign from a teaching job six months ago due to a hostile work environment. It was diffi- cult as she had poured all of her efforts into her work with little support from her superiors. She applied to several teaching positions, but younger, less-qualified applicants seemed to be hired. Since she was working at temp jobs, her finances were strained. I asked Blessed George to intercede, using the prayercard you sent. I am happy to report that my sister-in-law started her new teaching job today that’s only a short drive from her home. — JP, Lewiston, Maine G RACES R ECEIVED For a Blessed George prayercard (B32-CBGP), call toll free 1-800-462-7426.
