Date: 1-4 May
The Jubilee of Workers celebrates the vital contribution to society made by all workers: professional and trades, paid employees and volunteers; while also recognising the model of all workers, St Joseph.
PRAYER
Loving God,
You desire that work be a blessing and not a burden for us, our families and our community.
Help us to be witnesses and agents of a just society in which all who want work can get it,
and in which all who do work are treated with dignity and justice.
Help us to care for our neighbours who do not have the dignity of work,
and for those who face exploitation in their workplace.
Nurture in us a commitment to a society where there is work for all who want it and where work
is truly a blessing for the worker and the whole community.
We ask this in the name of Jesus, Your Son, who is Lord for ever and ever.
Amen
