For all those who are:

Unemployed
Looking for a better job
Looking for fullment through their labor
Looking to labor for our Lord
Unsatisfied at work
We Pray:
Glorious St. Joseph, model of all who are dedicated to labor, obtain for them the grace to work in the spirit of love and faithfully to place their responsibilities above their own desires. Help them to work with joy and gratitude. Let them consider it an honor to use and develop the gifts they have received from God. Aid them to work with order, peace, moderation, and patience. Help them to work above all for the glory of God and the coming of his kingdom.
May they remember that they are to give an account of the gifts and talents they have received.
Amen



Heavenly Father, we remember before you those who suffer want and anxiety from lack of work. Guide the people of this land so to use our public and private wealth that all may find suitable employment, and receive just payment for their labor, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.



O God, the Creator of all things, you have made us in your own image so that we may find joy in creative work: have mercy on all those who are unemployed, and those who find their work dull, especially for those recently graduated. Help us to build a society where all may have work and find joy in doing it, for the good of our world and the glory of your name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.



God, our Father, I turn to you seeking your divine help and guidance as I look for suitable employment. I need your wisdom to guide my footsteps along the right path, and to lead me to find the proper things to say and do in this quest. I wish to use the gifts and talents you have given me, but I need the opportunity to do so with gainful employment. Do not abandon me, dear Father, in this search, but rather grant me this favor I seek so that I may return to you with praise and thanksgiving for your gracious assistance. Grant this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.



Heavenly Father, we remember before you those who suffer want and anxiety from lack of work. Guide the people of this land so to use our public and private wealth that all may find suitable and fulfilling employment, and receive just payment for their labor; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O God, who made us in your image and intended us for creative work; look with love on those of us who are unemployed. Help us to enjoy life together with those who have work
and to understand what kind of help we need to give one another, whether in paid employment or not. Guide the leaders of our country, that they may take wise decisions which will benefit us all. Finally we ask you Lord to guide us in the knowledge that we all have worth in ourselves and that we are all of equal value in your eyes, through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.



O God, Who wills not the death of a sinner, but rather that he be converted and live, grant, we beseech Thee through the intercessions of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin and all the Saints an increase of laborers for Thy Church, fellow laborers with Christ to spend and consume themselves for souls through the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in Unity of the Holy Spirit world without end. Amen.

Thanks for posting that. Ironic, since I was recently wondering if there was a sort of patron saint for the unemployed. I'll graduate this Saturday and will move to LA to find a job in the film industry. Pray that I find one which will give me a solid foundation to further my creative work in the future. And my prayers are going up for all who are in similar circumstances.

God Bless!

Please pray for me that I may find a job which I will truly like and which is truly suitable for me. I have a very hard time finding the proper job for me and always end up without work. I am very mentally tired of this and trust that God has a job designed for me out there. May the employers use my strengths and not my weaknesses. I am looking for a stable job.

Please allow us to bring glory to Your name Father while caring for our families. I ask this in Your Jesus Christ's name, amen. :crossrc:Today was my first day on my new job! The job I got was the one I prayed for above, the one I interviewed for on 9/29 ... my daughter Erin's Anniversary of a brief life (it was her birthday and deathday). I had also said a pray to her and asked her to intercede on my behalf as well. I interviewed for MANY jobs, but the one I got an offer for, none of the others, is the one I prayed for here, in this thread, with the above prayer.

Today was my first day in the office. I now work for a huge teaching hospital that has WONDERFUL benefits for my 2nd daughter and I. Things are finally beginning to settle down here with me getting a job.

All glory and honor to you Lord God Almighty, forever and ever, amen.
All glory and honor to you Lord Jesus Christ, forever and ever, amen.
All glory and honor to you Holy Spirit, forever and ever, amen.

All praise to you God for answering my prayer and providing me an income to care for myself and my daughter. Thank you Lord. Thank you thank you thank you. :crosseo:

Please pray for my husband as he has suffered his third layoff. The last job brought us to Colorado, a thousand miles from family. We had to file bankruptcy before we moved, and 6 months ago were able to buy a home. Now, if he doesn't get a job soon, we'll have to try to sell this house or walk away from it and lose everything. Please pray that he finds a job he'll love and that will support our family. My health is poor and I can no longer teach because of the stress it puts on my body. Our medicine bill alone is $1100 for three months WITH insurance, which will end soon. I shudder to think what it is without insurance. Please pray for us.

I feel for your families in time of need, especially you jam. :( :cry: :hug: :kiss:
I too would not mind having a job, as my family just moved into a house, things are tight, and my husband and I have one living daughter of whom we take care and put in private school.

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, and Holy Spirit: please help this couple, my family, and all the others who post on here for themselves and others. Thank you for the jobs that you are providing. Please give those desiring jobs the jobs they can cheerfully perform unto You. Please help us use the money as You see fit. In Jesus name amen.
And my daughter W. said In Jesus name amen too.
And the people say???

Here is a wonderful prayer for all who work, no matter if you're a doctor, a housewife or anything. It's a good prayer to save and to pray. :)

Prayer to Saint Joseph, Patron of Workers

Glorious Saint Joseph, you are the pattern of all who work. Obtain for me, please, the grace to work conscientiously and to put devotion to duty before my selfish inclinations. Help me to labor in thankfulness and joy, for it is an honor to employ and to develop by my labor the gifts I have received from almighty God. Grant that I may work in orderliness, peace, moderation and patience without shrinking from weariness and difficulties. I offer my fatigue and perplexities as reparation for sin. I shall work, above all, with a pure intention and with detachment from self, having always before my eyes the hour of death and the accounting which I must then render of time ill-spent, of talents unemployed, of good undone, and of empty pride in success, which is so fatal to the work of God. For Jesus through Mary, all in imitation of you, good Saint Joseph. This shall be my motto in life and in death. Amen. :crossrc:

I have an interview on Friday at 10am for a job!!! Its casual, but it'll all help...
I am also sitting an exam for another job next wednesday, which i failed last time. the pass mark is like 80% and i got 78 i think... its really frustrating and disappointing... i worked so hard for it!!!
Getting these jobs will help me to save for my future marriage... which will be nice. To go into it with some money rather than none!!!

Prayers for everyone who is seeking employment... :crossrc:
