Prayer to St. Joseph for Employment
During this time of anxiety over the high unemployment rate many of us find ourselves lost and afraid as we face an uncertain future without a job to support ourselves and our loved ones. Let us turn our hearts in prayer to the foster father of Jesus, to whom God the Father entrusted the care of His only Son.
“Dear Saint Joseph, you were yourself once faced with the responsibility of providing the necessities of life for Jesus and Mary. Look down with fatherly compassion upon me in my anxiety over my present inability to support my family. Please help me to find gainful employment very soon, so that this heavy burden of concern will be lifted from my heart and that I am soon able to provide for those whom God has entrusted to my care. Help us to guard against bitterness and discouragement, so that we may emerge from this trial spiritually enriched and with even greater blessings from God. Amen.”
Remember St. Joseph often as you invoke the name of the dear foster father of Jesus and display a beautiful St. Joseph saint medal. He is the patron saint of workers, families, and a happy death. St. Joseph pray for us.
