St Cajetan Novena - Prayers for Employment - Day 2

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. O glorious St. Cajetan, you studied to be a lawyer, but when you felt that the Lord was calling you to His service, you abandoned everything and became a priest. You excelled in virtues, shunning all material rewards for your labor, helping the many unemployed people of your time. You provided loans without interest and you attracted benefactors who donated to your resources so that you could go on with your activities. Look on us with mercy. We wish to find employment that could help us and our families live with dignity. Listen to our petitions, dear saint; you, who could easily give up the food on your table for the needy, bring our petitions to Jesus (mention request here…) Amen. Despite your busy schedule, dear saint, you spent eight hours a day in prayer. Your happiness consists in being united with Jesus, to savor his presence in the Eucharist. Guide us to be like you by giving priority to prayer in our life. Enable us to savor Jesus’ presence and help us become contemplatives like you. Inspire us to understand that prayer is not just asking Jesus for our needs, but being with him, delighting in his presence. We ask you, dear saint, to lead us in this direction that we may learn to delight in Jesus’ presence. Amen. Our Father Hail Mary Glory Be St Cajetan, pray for us. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
