Many years ago one of my mentors gave me this prayer to say. It has become a part of my daily routine to start my day and helps ground me in what I need to do. Now with even longer days, longer hours, with people doing jobs maybe they didn't think they would, with people stepping up, stepping out and being asked to deliver, to perform, to give, to sacrifice, to serve... I thought I would share it with all of you.
Stay healthy, stay smart, stay kind, stay aware and remember we are in it together and we have God as our guide every step of the way.
Believe in the Unbelievable that is YOU and have a blessed and healthy week.
Prayer to St. Joseph the Worker
Glorious Saint Joseph,
pattern of all who are devoted to toil, obtain for me the grace to toil in the spirit of penance, in order thereby to atone for my many sins; to toil conscientiously, putting devotion to duty before my own inclinations; to labor with thankfulness and joy, deeming it an honor to employ and to develop, by my labor, the gifts that I have received from Almighty God; to work with order, peace, moderation, and patience, without ever shrinking from weariness and difficulties; to work above all with a pure intention and with detachment from self, having always before my eyes the hour of death and the accounting which I must then render of time ill-spent, of talents unemployed, of good undone, and of my empty pride in success, which is so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all through Mary, all in imitation of thee, O Patriarch Joseph! This shall be my motto in life and in death.
Amen.
