Jesus teaches us that work is honorable and pleasing to God if it is not exaggerated! Jesus teaches us that there is a time for God, for work, for play and rest. Here we have a beautiful and powerful prayer to Saint Joseph to find a job.
Prayer to Saint Joseph to find a job
“Glorious Saint Joseph, model of all those who dedicate themselves to work, grant me the grace to:
To work with a spirit of penance for the expiation of my numerous sins;
Work with dedication, putting the cult of duty above my inclinations;
Work with recognition and joy, considering it an honor to use the gifts received from God;
Work with order, peace, moderation and patience, never giving in to fatigue or difficulties;
To work with good intentions and detachment from myself, constantly having death before my eyes and the account that I will have to pay for lost time, unused talents, omitted good deeds and the vain indulgences of success, so opposed to the work of God.
All for Jesus, all for Mary, this is my motto. Amen. ”
Saint Pius X
