Thanks Be To God

I have recovered my laptop last Tuesday. I was about to ive up hope when HG called to say that the person who found it call up NUS. The student from TP was at my bus stop that day. My hunch was correct! He actually lives in Pasir Ris and came all the way to my place to take a bus. He refused to take my reward. Apparently this is not the first time he has picked up a laptop. I told his mum that she is a great mum to have taught the son that honesty is the best policy!

Everyone's prayer came true. HG never really worried about the missing lap top. He said that he knew that God would bring it back. Thank you, Mother Mary. Thank you, St. Anthony. Thanks be to God. Praise the Lord.

Hopeless Cases

I think 1 can only pray when dealing with hopeless cases.

Prayer to St. Jude

To be said when problems arise or when one seems to be deprived of all visible help, or for cases almost despaired of.

Most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant
and friend of Jesus, the Church honors
and invokes you universally, as the patron
of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired
of. Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone.
Make use I implore you, of that particular
privilege given to you, to bring visible and
speedy help where help is almost despaired
of. Come to my assistance in this great need
that I may receive the consolation and help
of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations,
and sufferings, particularly--(Here make
your request) and that I may praise God
with you and all the elect forever. I promise,
O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of
this great favor,to always honor you as my
special and powerful patron, and to gratefully
encourage devotion to you. Amen.
