How many of us complain about work?
Mondays are the worst day of the week!
Some of our complaints may be valid as work can be excessive, unproductive, and physically and mentally difficult.
But without work, leisure would be laziness.
Leisure finds its joy and value only as a compliment to work.
For those who do not work, leisure time only turns into lazy time.
With no real joy.
Work therefore is an important part of our lives.
An important part as it is a source
of emotional, physical and intellectual growth.
It stretches us when we do not want to be stretched
And challenges us when we do not want to be challenged.
But it is precisely because of this that we can be productive and bear some of our greatest fruit.
For those times when work begins to become a burden.
For those times when Monday morning is dreaded,
Turn to St. Joseph the Worker.
Seek his intercession and strength.
Not just in challenging and stressful times but every Monday morning every worker should say a prayer to St. Joseph the Worker.
It does not have to be memorized or recited.
Actually it should come from the heart,
where one pours out to St. Joseph the Worker, t
he personal concerns that one will face at the beginning of the work week.
Place all of the concerns and work related issues in his hands, confident that he understands and will assist you in all of your needs.
Let St. Joseph be a Co-Worker with you!
