St Cajetan Novena - Prayers for Employment - Day 5

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. O glorious St. Cajetan, you spent long hours helping the sick and worked yourself to exhaustion in helping victims of plagues which were frequent in your time. You cared for the sick not just to heal them, but to guide them to a happy death. You wanted their souls, not their bodies. Help us to understand that we have to prepare ourselves to a happy death. May we likewise see that the most terrible sickness is our sinfulness, and we always have to examine ourselves for the sins we commit daily. Inspire us to have repentant hearts that we may always be prepared to meet the Lord. 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.
