Mighty God, your wonderful works fill us with awe. In faith we pray: God, fill us with your light.  

Help us to balance work with prayer, leisure, and time for others.  

     God, fill us with your light.  

Give patience and perseverance to those who perform tedious jobs for the well-being of others. 

     God, fill us with your light. 

Prosper efforts to generate meaningful jobs for the underemployed and unemployed.  

     God, fill us with your light. 

Our Father . . . 

May God favor us with work that befits our dignity and prosper the efforts of our hands and minds in Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
