Please make the dentist redo what he did as the original plan of treatment was not followed by him. Please St. Anthony, please make him follow the original plan of treatment and do what he agreed to. Changing course without telling me is not acceptable treatment by a dental professional.

I ask for the intercession of St Anthony for miracles in my job. God knows what the company needs. God knows what I need. I trust in God to provide. I am, however, fearful of being let go. I pray for peace of mind. Next, I ask for protection of my sacred relationships. People are gossiping for some reason or are watching me or reading into me too closely. These are people I have been praying about for their situations and it turns out they just want to make me feel like I am a dumb and worthless woman rather than be my friend or support me. I've been hearing name calling, labeling negatively, and false accusations left and right. May God grant me wisdom and power to overcome these disrespectful tendencies people have against me and other single Catholic women. I do not gossip about others and I do not spread lies about them. I wish they would treat me the same. I have 3 degrees and am serious minded. Yet it's not enough.

The weather in Saskatchewan varies, place to place but I hope it doesn’t snow that much where I am now and back in the city where I normally live, as I like to go places on my medical scooter without getting stuck. My mum decided to order me some clothes, they were issues at first with the ordering, the order is still sitting there, and I hope my mum put the address on the right way, I did sent an email stating the P.O. Box number but only an automatic reply so far, has been a week, now, since the order as taken place and I don’t want to be stuck in the place I am now, (food desert). Things happen one after the other. My mum is angry on and off, threatens to leave dad. I also made some mistakes, one of them was a misunderstanding, as my mum (neither am I) good at explaining some things. Help me not make mistakes. My mum has mental health issues. My dad Alan is sick, help him get well enough to do things and go places, he needs surgery which I hope goes very well.
I am in need of financial freedom and protection against harm for my family and I. We need to get rid of evil that is attacking my family. We don't want anything bad to happen
