St. Joseph the Worker Novena
The "Prayer to St. Joseph the Worker" is a prayer seeking the intercession of St. Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus and a carpenter by trade. The prayer asks for St. Joseph's guidance and help in approaching work with patience, perseverance, and a charitable attitude towards fellow workers. It also asks for the grace to see work as participation in God's creative activity and Christ's redemptive work, and to offer it to God in thanksgiving or as reparation for sins. The prayer concludes by asking St. Joseph to obtain all that is needed according to God's plan and to be present at the moment of death.
*Prayer to St. Joseph the Worker (text)*
St. Joseph, by the work of your hands and the sweat of your brow, you supported Jesus and Mary, and had the Son of God as your fellow worker. Teach me to work as you did, with patience and perseverance, for God and for those whom God has given me to support.
Teach me to see in my fellow workers the Christ who desires to be in them, that I may always be charitable and forbearing towards all. Grant me to look upon work with the eyes of faith, so that I shall recognize in it my share in God’s own creative activity and in Christ’s work of our redemption, and so take pride in it.
When it is pleasant and productive, remind me to give thanks to God for it. And when it is burdensome, teach me to offer it to God, in reparation for my sins and the sins of the world.
O good father St. Joseph! I beg you, by all your sufferings, sorrows and joys, to obtain for me what I ask. (Mention your petitions now)
Obtain for all those who have asked my prayers, everything that is useful to them in the plan of God. Be near to me in my last moments that I may eternally sing the praises of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Amen.
Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...
