A Prayer for Monday, September 3, 2012

Labor

On this Labor Day, O God, we thank you—

--for good and productive work,
--for vocation that matches our gifts with the world’s needs,
--for crusaders who led and lead in the improvement of work conditions,
--for companies in which management and labor are true partners, and
--for ways in which individuals, families, and communities benefit from our shared efforts.

On this Labor Day, we ask you—

--for grace and strength to do our best work,
--for awareness and acceptance of our true calling,
--for deliverance from oppression for those working in inhumane conditions,
--for improved cooperation between management and labor where it is needed, and
--for simultaneous embrace of both individual and corporate responsibility in our society.

Amen.
