Dear St. Joseph, patron of workers and those seeking employment, you understand the need for meaningful labor, for a just wage. As you spent yourself for your Son Jesus and for His Mother Mary, they felt your secure protection. Now I ask that you would assist (share who you are praying for) as they seek a peaceful workplace, or search for their place in the workforce. Grant that those who work in dangerous jobs, and those who feel trapped in an environment that diminishes their self worth, may be led to respectful positions that will enhance their dignity, support their families, and bring peace and security to those they love. Through your intercession, dear St. Joseph, we ask all this in the Name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Amen.
