Prayer to St. Joseph for Employment
St. Joseph spent his life working loyally and humbly to support the Holy Family. When looking for work, who better than St. Joseph, whom God chose to meet the needs of Jesus and the Virgin Mary? Never forget that before Jesus started His public ministry, He was a carpenter and helped St. Joseph in his workshop. Jesus shows us that work is honorable and pleasing to God if not overdone! Jesus teaches us that there is a time for God, work, play, and rest. Here is a beautiful and powerful prayer to St. Joseph to find employment.
Novena to St. Joseph the Worker
A prayer to St. Joseph to find employment
Glorious saint Joseph, model to all who are dedicated to their work, grant me the grace to :
work with repentance to atone for my numerous sins
work with dedication, putting my duties above my temptations
work with joy and gratitude, acknowledging and using the gifts received from God
work with order, peace, moderation and patience, never giving in to boredom or difficulties
work with good intentions and unselfishly, always keeping in mind that time wasted, gifts not used, good
deeds not done and the vain complacency in success are completely in opposition to God's desire.
All for Jesus, all for Mary, this is my motto. Amen.
Saint Pie X
