God, our Father and our Creator, You bestow on us gifts and talents to develop and use in accord with Your will. Grant to me, through the intercession of Saint Joseph the worker, as model and guide, employment and work, that I may, with dignity, provide for those who depend on me for care and support. Grant me the opportunities to use my energy and my talents and abilities for the good of all, and the glory of Your name. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
