The Dignity of Work
"By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food."
— Genesis 3:19
Creator God,
Work is more than a way to earn a living; it is a way to contribute, to create, to give meaning to one's existence. Through work, we participate in the work of creation.
Thank You for the work I have, with its challenges and satisfactions. Help me find meaning in it, to bring consciousness to it, to accomplish it with dignity and commitment.
I pray for all workers: those who toil in difficult conditions, those seeking employment, those who are exploited. May every worker be respected and fairly compensated.
Amen.

Reflection
What is your work's contribution to the world? How can you bring more meaning and consciousness to it?
For all workers and for just and dignified working conditions for all.
