Intention of the day

Saint Joseph, we entrust to you all those families who are suffering from uncertainty of the future. May each one of them receive a small sign of hope. And for each one of us we ask you for the grace of patience and perseverance, so that we do not become discouraged, but believe that your Son will always provide for our needs in due time.

Let us take a few moments to pray for one or more intentions left by others on this page of intentions entrusted to St. Joseph.

SAINT JOSEPH, MODEL FOR LABOURERS

Joseph, Model of Labourers Good Saint Joseph, when God wanted a family for his Son, He looked among the labourers, and chose you along with Mary, demonstrating His esteem for human work. You put your heart into your work, and shared your workshop with Jesus. Your work, like that of other humans, found new meaning in the presence of God. Sustain us in the hope of finding work when we are confronted with the desolation of unemployment. Counsel business leaders to create an equitable division of labour that is respectful of individuals, and promotes our growth and happiness. Help us to perform our work joyfully, conscientiously, fairly and honestly. Prepare our hearts to recognize your Son in our colleagues at work. Amen. (St. Joseph Oratory, Montreal, CANADA)
