Prayer for Labor Day

Dear Parishioners,

This Monday, we celebrate Labor Day. Spiritually speaking, it is a day to reflect on and thank God for the work of our hands and our love.

What is your work ethic? Is your daily work, whatever it may be, just a task, a burden, something to get done? Or is your work something that gives meaning and dignity to your person, love for others, and glory to God?

As a source of reflection, ponder this famous quote:

'Work as though all depends on you,
Pray as though all depends on God."

Happy Labor Day!

God bless us all.
Fr. Citino

 

 

Prayer for Labor Day

Lord, on this Labor Day, we thank you for the
blessing of work.
We ask for strength to complete each day.
We ask for rest when we are weary.
We ask Your guidance for everyone
seeking employment, and we ask
that You be with those whose
faces we might never see, but who work
tirelessly each day for the good of us all.

Amen.
