Need prayers

[Patricia]

When the medal arrives is it blessed or do I need to get it blessed by a priest?

[Shin]

Good question, I went to look at if you requested the free medal they say it will be blessed at the shrine.

[Bailey2]

I just found this thread.  My prayers are with you.  I don't know the novena but I will pray for the intercession of Elizabeth Ann Seton, who lost her husband when she had 5 young children.

[Shin]

There's a lot about the Miraculous Medal here.

Here, let's start this. It's the same prayer day by day. I'm sure it'll help.  

Novena of the Miraculous Medal

O Immaculate Virgin Mary,
Mother of Our Lord Jesus and our Mother,
penetrated with the most lively confidence in your all-powerful and never-failing intercession, manifested so often through the Miraculous Medal,
we your loving and trustful children implore you to obtain for us the graces and favors we ask during this novena,
if they be beneficial to our immortal souls,
and the souls for whom we pray.

(Here form your petition) [For the Lord's will, especially for Patricia's intentions]

You know, O Mary, how often our souls have been the sanctuaries of your Son who hates iniquity.
Obtain for us then a deep hatred of sin and that purity of heart which will attach us to God alone so that our every thought, word and deed may tend to His greater glory.

Obtain for us also a spirit of prayer and self-denial that we may recover by penance what we have lost by sin and at length attain to that blessed abode where you are the Queen of angels and of men.

Amen.

Continuing.

Thanks for your prayers, friends. God's will be done whatever the outcome.
Bailey, is this a coincidence? My church is St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic church.

[Bailey2]

Isn't that wonderful.  She is my all time favorite Saint.  After her husband died, she converted to Catholicism and in doing so lost ALL family support.  Eventually she had to move away from NYC where she had lived all her life because of the bad feelings re: her conversion.  So, no husband, 5 children and as a woman in the 1790's, no money.   She lived very poorly the rest of her life but she made new friends, grew closer to God, and the rest is history! 
I will pray for you.  You are a very strong person.  Even in your first post, I was impressed by your concern for the next step rather than wishing for what was...... In fact, I was amazed by it.  I would be wallowing.  God must be strong inside you.  Continued prayers.
