Work

Labor Day

Reflection

“Work is fundamental to the dignity of a person.” ~ Pope Francis

Prayer

Merciful God, work is at the heart of who we are called to be as people. You call each of us to cooperate with you in your work of ongoing creation. Help us to see our work as an ongoing participation in your work of building a better world. Send your blessing this day upon all those who labor and all those suffering economically in the midst of this global pandemic. May your Spirit help us transform the challenges of today into the opportunities that will allow all people to realize their God-given call to labor on behalf of the reign of God. We offer this prayer with profound thanks. Amen.
