(If anyone recognizes my identity, please do not reveal it, for this is a rather sensitive post.)

There is a young woman from my Latin rite parish which I have known for a while now (still a child when I came to the city a little over a decade ago, now off at college). Sometime between February of last year and February of this year, I started developing feelings for her. So, I started asking for the help of St. Anne and eventually her daughter, the Blessed Mother. I wish to see her, but as of right now, I am not capable of supporting her. So, in brief, here are my requests, if pleasing to His Majesty the King:

1) Find me a suitable job (my university degree is in psychology, but as that has not net me very much, I am taking online programs in computer programming and related things - the story on this is actually much longer, but I will spare you the details)....., and if pleasing to the King, in the same city as my beloved.

or

2) That it please Him to take away my desire to be with her. And still find me suitable work. And when that has been taken care of, find me another suitable Catholic woman, as I consider my vocation to be a good Catholic husband and father.

(If you want my name so you can use it in your prayers, kindly PM me.)

Lord, grant what You know is necessary for health of soul, mind, and body for my brother. May Your Holy Will be done in his life.

Prayers continue, both for you and for all those who are without life-sustaining employment.
