I posted about this about in October, but now we're down to the wire on closing.

What I ask is prayers for this to go through *only* if it is God's plan for us. If not, that some immovable impediment will bring the whole thing to a screeching halt (what I've been praying for so far).

Now I enlist your prayers because this could be done as early as Tuesday so now it is quickly becoming 'ours' unless something goes wrong.

So far things have all resolved themselves and the whole thing has been painless (as far as a huge financial transaction goes anyway).

I really want to trust God here, and my biggest fear would be "making' it all happen because part of us wants the home, but I've had bad experiences with *my* will before.

In my prayers... I understand how big these decisions are and "doing Gods will vs your own will".

I pray Gods will is done for you, Iuvenalis.

The patronage of the great thaumaturge, the illustrious Virgin and Martyr St. Philomena, is a marvel of the inexhaustible clemency, wisdom and omnipotence of Our Lord.

It was thanks to her intercession that my family was able to save their home.

From the tome Kyrie Eleison: Two Hundred Litanies with Historico-Liturgical Introduction and Notes by Rev. Fr. Benjamin Francis Musser, O.F.M. (Westminster, MD: The Newman Bookshop, 1944), here is a Litany in honor of St. Philomena, composed by St. Jean-Baptise-Marie Vianney.

Thank you all for the prayers.

We should know the verdict Tuesday.
