St Cajetan Novena - Prayers for Employment - Day 8

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, it pained you to see the Catholic Church divided into hostile groups. You always prayed for unity in the Church, asking laypersons, priests, and bishops to support the Pope through preaching, prayer, and sacrifices. You see the Church as the bride of Christ, the sacrament by which men and women can become holy. You worked hard for the return of the Protestants to the Catholic Church, and you preached against Protestant reformers who were attacking the heart of Catholic teachings. Teach us then to work for unity in our Church and at the same time, to defend her from sects and religious movements that attack her. Inspire us to follow your path. 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.
