Workers' Prayer

Creator of all mankind, we offer You this day all our works,
our hopes and sorrows.
Give us and all the workers of the world the grace to work as You did
So that everything we do may benefit our fellowmen.
Let all Your blessings come into all offices, farms, factories,
and into our homes.
Give us this day our daily bread, may we receive it
without envy or injustice.
May those of us who, today, may be in danger of sin
remain in Your grace,
and may those who died in labor's field of honor rest in peace.
teach us to be generous, to serve You
as You deserve to be served.
To give without counting the cost, to fight without minding the words,
to work as our right and duty.
Lord, we thank You for giving us the opportunity to gather here.
With Your guidance and blessing, we are optimistic
that our goals and objectives will be achieved.
Grant us unity, peace, resolve, and prosperity
so that we can effectively serve our clientele.
Let Responsible Public Sector Unionism be the workers' commitment
To a Strong, Accountable, Comprehensive, Effective, and Democratic
(SACRED) Public Services.
This we ask of You, our Creator, God Almighty. Amen.
