Pray with me, "Dear Blessed Mother, please offer up the Holy Face of Jesus, His Sacred Head, and all His Holy Wounds to the Eternal Father, for the grace I need to be calm, to hear the inspiration of grace, and to know what to do in this crisis.  You are my mother and I trust you to arrange all situations that so as to be in accordance with God's Will for me."

There are people on this board praying for you, I will light a candle at Our Lady's altar tomorrow for you, and many will remember you at Holy Mass and Communion.  Things won't look so bad - you will get strong, and what to do (or not do) will become clear.  Events may change.  Have faith.  Don't panic.  Hold on.  "Make not haste in the time of clouds."  Do nothing until you are sure it is what God has shown you to do.  In the practical order, some food, a good night's sleep if you can manage it, will help.  If there is someone you know from your old chapel to whom you feel you can reach out, then do so if you feel it can be managed.  You will have morale support in this perhaps, if nothing else.  And please, let us know how you do going forward.  Even get back tomorrow.  It is the Epiphany - may Our Lord grant you holy enlightenment and peace! 

I'm so sorry! St Philomena is who you need...I'm sure other saints are there for you too.. but she is quite special! Just ask her.
"St Philomena, help! Powerful with God? Please come to my aid!"

Or the more traditional prayers  http://www.rosaryworkshop.com/PRAYER-chaplet-CSPD-2080-Philomena.html

She is a Saint for our times.. call upon her and that God's will may be done in all things!  

She even has an Archconfraternity. I have a person in the US who can get you " in"... let me know..
God bless!

Praying for you. You are having a terrible time. If you can't manage more lengthy prayers, perhaps when you feel overwhelmed with anxiety say short ejaculations. Jesus, Mercy. Cling to our Lady. She knows your needs. 

Can you get on medicaid?

Thank you.  Am trying.  No, not yet actually homeless or unemployed.  If it comes to this, it then takes many months to apply, be approved.  

 


Take heart and know you are in our prayers.


On the subject of finding it hard to pray: remember that praying is more then reciting formulas and words, it is a conversation. You can speak in your own simple words, telling the Father your troubles, telling His Son our Lord and Saviour your needs of strength, telling the Holy Ghost, The Paraclete your need of His consolations and Light and Directions. Ask Mother Mary to pray for you and all that you need. And always remember to pray for happiness, temporal and spiritual. Many think it odd to pray for happiness rather then just strength to deal with their problems, but they could not be further from the Truth. God wants us to ask him for things all the time, He loves to be called Father; what could move a fathers heart more then hearing his children asking him for happiess? What else does a good Father ultimately want for his little ones? Happiness!

In case you didn't know this stuff already:  
You should be able to get "rated" immediately, by your County Hospital, if you lose your job/your income falls low enough.  Sometimes that process can take a little persistence, but the benefit should be there.  I think most counties are at least 200% of the poverty level (12k/year for a single woman) and I think some are 300%.  I think they'll cover up to 100% of everything, including most meds and even transportation to appointments.  If you end up on Medicaid, you can continue with the county or go wherever you want.  
I have no idea about housing though.  You might want to contact Catholic Charities.  I assume you can get some kind of disability/simply retire if you have to.  They say most workers are disabled by their mid fifties.
