To Saint Joseph the Worker

Saint Joseph is the Model and Protector of the worker who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow.

Glorious Saint Joseph, model of all those who are dedicated to work, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penitence for the expiation of my many sins; to work in conscience, putting the respect of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to use and develop through work the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever backing down in the face of weariness and difficulties; to work above all with purity of intention and with detachment from myself, having constantly before my eyes death and the account I will have to render of the time lost, of the talents unused, of the good omitted and of the vain complacency in success, so disastrous to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all in imitation of you, Patriarch Saint Joseph! This will be my motto in life and in death. Amen.
