Finding Peace in Prayers – Saint Pancratius

On most days you know you have the physical strength, the willpower, the motivation and commitment to do your daily grind. You work smart and you have a great team, you have a supportive family and circle of friends. But there are days when it seems that all you can hope for is divine intervention.

Back in 2002 when I first landed a job in the BPO industry and my first experience doing a graveyard shift, my late grandmother came up to my room one day and gave me this novena. She told me that since I was working in the night time, this novena was for good health, success in work, and being free of adversities or ill-intentioned persons.
 
This novena carried me through tough times back then. Though let’s admit that we sometimes miss out on our catholic obligations, and only remember to pray when we are in need.  
 
Nowadays, I experience more and more obstacles in Life. May it be work or personal, some of these situations are just beyond my control. (Though I am still trying to find a solution for it to be within my control.) But this is where I turn to a higher power. It may not bring the desired results, but I do find peace and comfort whenever I complete my prayers.

So I just want to share the Novena to Saint Pancratius, for it may bring strength and guidance in your daily tasks.


NOVENA TO
SAINT PANCRATIUS

Act of Contrition:
 
 Jesus, my God,
how often have I offended Thee and,
despite my firm promise never to sin again,
how many times have I left Thy sweet company
to follow the path of sin!

Dearest Lord, I am sorry for my past negligences.
I regret this weakness of mine.
I would be ashamed to promise again
that I will not sin were it not for the confidence
I have in Thy love and Thy mercy.

I kneel in Thy presence,
hopeful that despite so many past violations of Thy commandments,
notwithstanding so many failures to correspond with Thy grace,
I can still repent.

I know that there is time to make a new beginning.
With Thy aid I will strive to be faithful to Thee,
with Thy assistance I will do my utmost to serve Thee faithfully - and always.
Do Thou, dear Jesus, help me.

Amen.
 
First Day

Our hearts have been created to love.
It is God Whom you have to love most,
more than all beings,
more than all riches of the world,
and in this way you will avoid many disappointments.
St. Pancratius did it so
and by it he obtained many favors from God.
Ask him fervently for this grace,
you will live peacefully
and will obtain his protection in all your needs.

Prayer for each day to the Blessed Trinity

Prayer to the Eternal Father

I believe, Heavenly Father,
all that Faith teaches,
and in that faith I wish to live and die;
through the intercession of St. Pancratius
grant us good health to fulfill our duties.

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory be...

Prayer to God the Son

O good Jesus,
grant me the virtue of Hope in your promises
in the same measure that St. Pancratius
always trusted in your Providence,
so that I may, through his intercession,
obtain work and success in all my undertakings.

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory be...

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Grant me the virtue of Charity
that I may love God above all things
and my neighbor for the love of God,
as St. Pancratius did.
Through his intercession
I hope to obtain this grace
and that of being free from adversities
and from ill-intentioned persons.

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory be...

Concluding Prayer:

O glorious St. Pancratius,
I beg thee to obtain for me
all the graces that I need,
but especially health and work,
so that I may appear before thee
to thank God for the favors
I received through your powerful intercession.

Amen.


Second Day

It is the law of God to love our neighbor,
but only in as much as this love does not hinder us from loving God.
St. Pancratius gave us the examples,
thus leading many souls in the right path to heaven.
Let us ask him from the depth of our hearts
to give us the grace to love our neighbors
as ourselves in order to love God better;
in this way we shall obtain many graces
from the glorious St. Pancratius.

(Prayer to the Blessed Trinity as on First Day)

Third Day

St. Pancratius possessed such a kind heart
that he always sympathized with the poor and the unfortunate;
for this reason he obtained so many graces from heaven.
You too, should imitate this virtue and thereby obtain,
through his intercession,
many favors from God.

(Prayer to the Blessed Trinity as on First Day)

Fourth Day

The glorious St. Pancratius not only tried to be good himself
but also strived to lead other souls to heaven,
and for this reason God bestowed on him
such a great power in behalf of those devoted to him.
You too, should try to spread this devotion
and to lead others to heaven.
In this way you will gain many graces,
especially those that you like to receive in this novena.

(Prayer to the Blessed Trinity as on First Day)

Fifth Day

There are many persons in the world who due to human respect,
fail to serve God wholeheartedly.
Be not one of them,
but rather imitate St. Pancratius
in defending always the truth and the good,
for the sake of God.
In this way,
you will obtain all that you need
through the intercession of St. Pancratius
who is always ready to hear your prayer.

(Prayer to the Blessed Trinity as on First Day)

Sixth Day

One of the hardest things for the heart
is to forgive those who have injured us.
Ask St. Pancratius to obtain for you this grace
when someone has offended you,
since he forgave even those who martyred him.
Be sure you will then be more at peace
and will obtain for yourself and for your family
graces that grow more than you can hope for.

(Prayer to the Blessed Trinity as on First Day)

Seventh Day

In this world,
great patience is needed for everything,
for more obstacles always come in our way than we expect.
Imitate St. Pancratius who always conforms his will
to the Holy Will of God,
and thus succeeded in living happily
and becoming a great saint amidst difficulties.
Ask him fervently to help you,
and he will grant you this grace and many others.

(Prayer to the Blessed Trinity as on First Day)

Eighth Day

Just as you treasure the picture of your parents
and other dear persons,
so also should you treasure the image of St. Pancratius,
assured that from heaven above he sees you
as you kneel before his altar.
The greater the fervor with which you do it
the more he will intercede for you before God
that he may grant you the graces you want
to obtain in this novena,
for you as well as for your family.

(Prayer to the Blessed Trinity as on First Day)

Ninth Day

Now that you are ending this novena,
you are encouraged
and you feel a greater desire to love St. Pancratius
and by it to make yourself worthy of attaining heaven
where you will keep his company.
Be sure that he waits for you there,
and you will fulfill your duties faithfully,
leading the life of a good Christian;
and thus obtain his protection for yourself and for your family.

(Prayer to the Blessed Trinity as on First Day)

  1. Nutra Mini - We're living in harsh economic times. Inevitably, it still felt like Weight Loss redux. It is exactly the same way a Control X Keto Weight Loss that aborts a pose for a Keto Diet. I feel that triviality is really cool. That was ear splitting. Some ordinary readers even gather that some preference was invented by the British. I may not be fully aware of that. Maybe I should forget this. It brings joy for everyone. This does make that easier now to discover the correct Weight Loss. That's what she said.

  2. If you’ve already uploaded them with non-descriptive file names (DSC12345), reupload them. Do NOT stuff key phrases within the file names or alt text (solely use it if it really describes the picture) and ignore this Yoast recommendation if the bubble is red. Stop words are short, non-descriptive words which Yoast recommends eradicating from permalinks to put a heavier emphasis on your focus keyword. While that is normally good, it could additionally make your permalinks look very bizarre (see below).

    Click-Through Rate – writing a pleasant Yoast web optimization title + meta description to get people clicking in your search end result, and of course, getting more evaluations will enhance click-by way of rates. Research Keywords – every metropolis has it’s own set of key phrases which ought to be researched in Google.

    I usually start with Google My Business and Moz Local, then prime it off with $500 value of citations from Whitespark. It works very well and so they have a perfect 5 star on Google with 200+ reviews. I follow Moz’s technique as precise matches can look spammy and would possibly inform Google you’re trying to control rankings. Use a number of on each page since Google uses the content material you link to as a relevancy signal for your own content, and improves it’s web optimization.

    Large cities will have more keywords than small cities (because the inhabitants is greater). To rank higher in Google Maps you want much more citations than these in Moz Local. You can either construct these yourself (utilizing Whitespark’s listing of high citations) or hire Whitespark to build them for $four-5 per citation. I even have used their service to get multiple shoppers in the top three outcomes of Maps and it ought to enhance rankings for a number of localized key phrases.

    If people can take a look at your permalink and know what the article is about, take away them. Keyword density barely matters (you can actually get penalized for keyword stuffing) however you must use it a number of instances within the content, an important being in the first couple sentences. Yoast makes an enormous deal about keyword density however I disagree, it often leads to spammy content. Google started displaying longer meta descriptions in some search results. These are chosen by Google (they don't seem to be pulled from Yoast) and are usually taken from precise content on the web page.

    Content comprehensiveness is the idea that content material should answer all elements of the consumer’s question. This is why size is energy in SEO (use Answer The Public to see query keywords). The larger your domain authority, the more searches your key phrases can have.

    Control Sitelinks – the extra hyperlinks you must a web page, the more probably it will show within the sitelinks part of Google’s search outcomes. Label images before importing them to WordPress so the file name describes the picture. https://www.reviewengin.com/5-simple-wordpress-seo-hacks-to-boost-your-google-ranking/

  5. If you pick the one that matches your skills and put in the effort you can carve out your own corner of the internet and grow an audience. Once you've chosen, make sure to get an eCommerce business license so you can operate without worry. One great thing about influencer marketing is the number of platforms available to use.
    The key to selling your services is presenting your business online. You need to showcase your unique skills and why you’re the right person to do the job. The easiest way to do that is creating a professional-looking website with plenty of convincing examples of your work and some great customer testimonials. The main requirement to becoming a professional writer is writing ability. If you can write something that people enjoy reading, that’s enough to get your foot in the door.
    The work is relatively speedy as it’s usually a case of reformulating existing content. The health and fitness industry has taken the online world by storm. It’s a huge part of popular culture, particularly for young people. With increased awareness of following a healthy diet, coupled with the rise of veganism, there’s now a broad market for selling diet plans. If you’ve got skills in graphic design and some experience in advertising, you can make good money at home by designing ads for companies’ marketing campaigns. Becoming a web researcher is one of the easiest businesses you can start from home with nothing more than a computer.
    The entire reason I started this blog in 2019 was to prove that most blogging advice is outdated and you absolutely can make life-changing money in months, not years. Have you seen Richard Linkwater’s cult classic Before Sunrise? The main characters, sinking deep in love fast, are walking near a river. A haggard-looking poet with disheveled appearance approaches them and offers to write a poem for them. His verse is not really a piece of art, but it centers on their experience. https://www.reviewengin.com/10-ecommerce-business-ideas-2022/

  6. It was criticized for having a similar attitude towards GeoCities, too. But by the time AltaVista was closed in 2013, the internet community had moved on; the people that mourned its demise almost certainly didn’t use it for search any longer. The ailing AltaVista brand was acquired again in February 2003 for just $140 million by Overture. Then, Yahoo acquired Overture four months later, which marked the beginning of the end for the AltaVista name. All of the search technology that had been built up under the AltaVista brand was absorbed into Yahoo search in 2011, just as its search results had been co-opted by Yahoo 15 years earlier.
    Startpage search engineA bit like DuckDuckGo, StartPage was founded with strict user privacy at its core. The search results also display frequently asked questions that are related to your search term, which can provide handy resources and help you to further your search. The search engine has a really useful feature called bangs, which allows you to search directly within another website from DuckDuckGo by typing a prefix. Ebay magic the gathering” would take you directly to eBay’s search results for the query “magic the gathering”. DuckDuckGo search engineDuckDuckGo is a popular search engine for those who value their privacy and are put off by the thought of their every query being tracked and logged. Local search is the process that optimizes the efforts of local businesses.
    Disconnect search search engineDisconnect allows you to conduct anonymous searches through a search engine of your choice. It’s an open source search engine that is available to everyone for a source code review, as well as contributions on GitHub. There’s even the option to customize it and host it on your server as your own search engine. It uses a quick-search function where you can enter “&” in front of the name of a website to see external search results instantly. For example, “&w” or “&wikipedia” allows you to immediately access results from Wikipedia directly from Qwant.

  7. These are some of the most profitable demographics given that almost 85% of them rely on social media for shopping inspiration. Let’s look into some of the main benefits of influencer marketing to show you how it can transform your personal training business. And don’t forget – if you’re going to engage an influencer to push your brand on social media, it’s a good idea to support this with some more structured, retargeted advertising such as Social Ads.
    Earned exposure provides trustworthiness to the right prospects who are part of a pre-qualified influencer audience. Like any successful campaign, however, you need to go into it with a plan, particularly when it comes to building credibility among target personas. Even though it’s common knowledge that influencers get paid to plug products on social media, younger audiences don’t seem to mind all that much if the latest stats are any indication. From Online ads to SEO, we have a full suite of digital marketing products to tap into all the different ways customers search for businesses online. We’re here to help make your influencer marketing campaigns a success! Influencer marketing is an ROI gold mine for businesses, but you have to approach influencer relationships the right way.
    This report documents the findings of a Fireside chat held by ClickZ in the first quarter of 2022. And it gets even more challenging when trying to target the younger generation, as millennials are more demanding for the advertised content they get exposed to. A brand isn't just a slogan or logo, it's the foundation of what a business is built on. It involves a mission statement, a set of values, and the overall culture of a... Influencers will use the incentives they received for posting about a brand they love and often bring friends in along with them. I am much more likely to try out a new restaurant or product in my area if a friend recommends it rather than a celebrity I don’t even know. https://www.reviewengin.com/5-reasons-you-should-take-advantage-of-influencer-marketing/
