The patron saintSt. Benigno CalviSoonFor work and dignity
Beloved Lord Jesus Christ, You invite all who labor and feel burdened to seek refuge in You. Lord, I find myself exhausted by the constant struggle to secure employment. Lead me along a path of righteousness; Grant me the patience to uncover future prospects. Soothe my anxieties as my financial obligations increase. Fortify my determination; Encourage my heart to embrace new opportunities; Help me to perceive beyond the failures of the past. Assist me in believing in myself. May I discover alternative ways to contribute to Your kingdom on this earth. Allow me to grow as an individual, that I might honor You with my life. In the name of the Father. Amen.
