I want to tell you about my brother. He is a mechanical engineer in Mexico. When he came here to the U.S. it was very difficult for him to find a job, as the schooling is different for engineers in the U.S. He was looking and looking for work, and having to start his new career differently by going to school and taking classes in the U.S. And even though he went to school to be able to work as an engineer, he hasn’t been able to find a job.

Two weeks ago he was very desperate and depressed, thinking he had made a mistake to come over to the U.S. since he couldn’t find a job. He was thinking of going back to Mexico, but since he is 50 years old, it would be very difficult for him to find a job in Mexico at that age. He had no money, a lot of responsibilities, and no job.

I told him, “Okay, I’m going to give you the answer to your difficulties. I’m going to give you this little card.” So I gave him the Father Thomas prayer card. He looked at me like I was crazy, like how could this little card help him. I assured him, “Just start praying. Father Thomas is going to help you. He is in the position of going to be beatified but it depends on the miracles that are going to happen through his intercession. And this is going to be a good one since it looks impossible – it seems like an impossible situation for you to get a job.” He asked me how to do it, and I told him to just pray the prayer on the back of the card.

Well, last Monday he called me and said, “You know, this thing really works. I’m calling from Midland, Texas. I applied a year ago to this company and never heard a word back from them. But now they want me to come and work for them. I only prayed for two days with the prayer card, and it really works! Now I have a job. I have to move to Midland, but it doesn’t matter – I have a job! It’s a very well-paying job, and they provide the house to live in.” He was very grateful to Father Thomas, and so am I.
