Reader Question: Should we Pray for More money?
Prayers Answered and the Oldest Catholic Church in America
[/caption]
The St. Joseph Novena was a great success for hundreds of the faithful! Many people really benefited from the spiritual blessings of praying a novena to such a wonderful saint.
Last week I was on vacation in Florida and I visited the oldest Catholic Church in America in St. Augustine, Florida. It was a tiny little church building that would only fit a handful of people for Mass. It was about a hundred yards away from a HUGE cross that was erected to commemorate the first Mass celebrated in North America. It was pretty great to see such an historical place!
I got some nice photos and there was even a statue of St. Joseph right outside the Church. See photo below!

While I was in Florida I wasn't keeping up with my email very well. When I returned I discovered several emails with great stories of how God answered prayers and how positive this past novena was.
It was beautiful to see that so many benefited from this novena. It was our biggest novena yet with hundreds of people praying together. In fact, 113 new people joined the novena reminder email list.
I'd love to share all of those stories with you, but many of
them include personal details. However, here are some
highlights:
Novena Prayers Answered
Job Offer:
One woman has been praying for nearly 3 years to get a job! She prayed to St. Joseph, knowing that he is the patron of workers and on March 17th (day 8 of our novena), she was offered a job that is in her words:
"Just what I wanted in so many ways."
Spiritual Healing and Forgiveness:

A married couple who gives Catholic seminars for other couples began to pray the St. Joseph Novena and said:
"We experienced a lot of forgiveness and healing during the seminars, between couples who have had no time to have a deep dialog or prayer for sometime."
They went on to say that they
"...personally believe that the intercession of Saint Joseph allowed us to connect to the couples, especially to the husbands..."
Growing in Peace:
One young lady who prayed the novena is a college student and a friend of mine. She prayed this novena for her father. She prayed that he would grow in holiness and strength as a father. As the novena progress she was able to spend time in prayer with her father and in her email to me she said that
"...it was cool to see how he grew in peace as I prayed the Novena everyday. Thank You, Jesus for answered prayers!"

Novena Theme Hint: "GIFT"
Please enter your guess into the comment box below! Do it now because I'll be announcing the theme very soon!
Creation of Check Routing Numerals
Have you ever inquired what that 9 digit numeral is in the bottom left side of a bank notes? Many individuals have this question. As a matter of fact, well nigh 50,000 people search for aba number related search terms in search engine listings every calendar month.
The routing numeral is likewise also called a transit figure or aba number. It consists of a 9 digit codification and it is employed in the United States. The individual design of this number is to determine the depository financial institution or financial organization from which the currency referred to on the check is to be withdrawn.
With so many depository financial institutions in existence today, this number is very helpful to the depository financial institution taking a deposition of a check in determining where they need to get the money. It was once a difficult task to determine where bank checks were written from. In fact, this difficulty has historically been tapped by outlaws to commit fraud against banks.
Therefore, this numerical system was explicated to streamline and clarify the procedure for clearing houses and for banks. This has helped in the dependable transferral of money between banks on behalf of their clients for years now.
This system has even been developed. The serialized number makes it easier for information processing systems to understand and employ the information and as recently as 2004 it has been used to transfer electronic bank checks also known as echecks or EFTs (electronic funds transfer). This started out with the passing of the Check 21 Act which has helped to reduce the dependence on paper bank checks by making it allowable to make digital copies of bank checks.
This convenient number system dates all the way back to 1910 when the American Bankers Association (ABA) organised it to help interbank relations. It has been utilised ever since to help the banking industry to operate smoothly.
Can you conceive of trying to keep track of over 26 thousand different depository financial institutions that issue bank checks? As a banker you would be overwhelmed with work trying to determine where to get your money! This is precisely the trouble that the ABA has successfully helped to solve since 1910.
About 26,895 routing numbers are actively used in the United States today. This is because every financial organisation must have one by law. That means that every depository financial institution needs to have an ABA number issued to them before they open their doors.
The check routing number is an important development in the story of banking. It has served to improve the efficiency of banks. It has aided in improving the security of banks. It has even helped improve the manner in which we transfer money over the internet.
