St. Joseph,
Patron of Workers

O Glorious patriarch, St. Joseph humble
and just craftsman of Nazareth, you gave to
all Christians, but particularly to us, an
example of a perfect life of assiduous work
and of admirable unity with Mary and Jesus
Help us in our daily work so that we might
find in it an effective means of glorifying
our Lord, of sanctifying ourselves and of
being useful to the society in which we
live.

Obtain for us from our Lord, O beloved
protector, humility and simplicity of heart,
attachment to work, benevolence towards
those who work with us, compliance with
the divine will in the difficulties of this life
and joy in bearing them, consciousness of
our specific social mission and the sense of
our social responsibility a spirit of disci-
pline and prayer, docility and respect for
our superiors fraternity towards our equals
support for times of stress, charity and in-
dulgence for our dependents.

Help us to follow your example and to
keep our sight fixed on Mary, our Mother,
your gentle wife, who wove silently in a
corner of your humble shop, smiling sweet-
ly. May we never avert our eyes from Jesus,
who worked with you at your carpenter's
bench, so that we may in like manner lead
peacefully and holy lives on earth, the pre-
tude to the eternally happy one which
awaits us in heaven for ever more. Amen.
Pope Pius XII
