St. Josemaria Escriva Novena - Day 7

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. O God, through the intercession of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, you granted countless graces to your priest St. Josemaria, choosing him as a most faithful instrument to found Opus Dei, a way to holiness through daily work and the ordinary duties of a Christian. Grant that I also may learn to turn all the circumstances and events of my life into opportunities to love you and serve the Church, the Pope, and all souls, with joy and simplicity, lighting up the paths of the earth with faith and love. Through the intercession of St. Josemaria, please grant me the favor I request (mention request here…) Amen. “Everything in which we poor human beings intervene — even sanctity — is a tissue of small trifles, which — depending on the purity of our intention — can form a tapestry of splendid heroism or of meanness, of virtues or of sins.” (The Way, 826) May God help me to develop the Christian virtues and to mature spiritually through the work I do. May I seek to be patient and understanding, both towards my managers and towards my colleagues and subordinates. May I be simple and humble, avoiding vanity and exhibitionism. In a word, may I do everything with purity of heart. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
