There are so many aspects of Catholicism that I could write about, but this blog's focus is on family traditions. Do you have one that you'd like to share? A Catholic custom or a family recipe relating to a Feast day or holy day? I'd love to hear about it. Please drop me a line and share the way your family celebrates your Catholic heritage.

Employment Prayer

shared by Andrea M.:


EMPLOYMENT – ST. JOSEPH THE WORKER

Pray one decade of the rosary and the following prayer:

Glorious Saint Joseph, you are the pattern of all who work. Obtain for me, please, the grace to work conscientiously and to put devotion to duty before my selfish inclinations. Help me to labor in thankfulness and joy, for it is an honor to employ and to develop by my labor the gifts I have received from almighty God. Grant that I may work in orderliness, peace, moderation and patience without shrinking from weariness and difficulties. I shall work, above all, with a pure intention and with detachment from self. For Jesus through Mary, all in imitation of you, good Saint Joseph. This shall be my motto in life and in death.  Amen.
