1st of May|Feast Day to St. Joseph the worker
Prayer:
St. Joseph, by the work of your hands and the sweat of your brow, you supported Jesus and Mary,
and had the Son of God as your fellow worker.
Teach me to work as you did, with patience and perseverance, for God and for those whom God has given me to support. Teach me to see in my fellow workers the Christ who desires to be in them, that I may always be charitable and forbearing towards all.
Grant me to look upon work with the eyes of faith,
so that I shall recognize in it my share in God’s own creative activity and in Christ’s work of our redemption, and so take pride in it.
When it is pleasant and productive,
remind me to give thanks to God for it. And when it is burdensome, teach me to offer it to God,
in reparation for my sins and the sins of the world. Amen.
Prayer for the Spirit of Work
God our Father, Creator and Ruler of the universe, in every age you call us to use and develop our gifts for the good of others. With St. Joseph as our guide, help us to do the work you have asked and come to the rewards you have promised. Please grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Señor San Jose, patrono han sitio arado, ig-ampo mo kami.🙏
