I, like many people, have my job for the paycheck. It is not fulfilling, it is not my life’s work, but it is a true blessing and it allows me to provide for my family. I was thinking about this on my drive into work. A suffocating feeling began to overcome me, whispering in my ear that I hate my job, that I will never be an at-home mom, that my wishes and dreams are unimportant and that there is no end to this. But I know this is the evil one trying to bring despair.

In this gospel this weekend, someone says of Christ, “He does all things well”. My wish is that I too can do all things well. We can and should offer praise through everything, and our work is no different! As I was feeling depressed about the oncoming day, Christ brought that forward in my heart and reminded me that this is, above all things, a gift. It’s a chance to praise.

*Holy God, You do all things well.
Grant that I, too, may do well;
With my work, let me serve you.
With my friends, let me love you.
With my customers, let me honor you.
With my superiors, let me bless you.
In all things, let me give you my whole self,
that my will be forgotten and Your will be fulfilled.

Amen.*

Dear Ophelia,

I felt for you today as I read this prayer and thought How lucky I am to be a SAHM. In the eyes of the world it is not seen as much, but reminds us to always be greatful and count the many blessings God has given to us in our lives. I pray for you and the many who may not have this choice.

Lord,
I pray today for those who feel their life is an endless daily grind–Bless them Lord, keep them close and help them to see your light in the midst of the darkness. Bring your many graces into their lives and lift them up to be a true witness for you.

In all our work and daily lives we give praise and Thanks to you Lord Jesus!
 
I am praying that God Bless you with a job that you are happy with and provides well for you and your family. I am praying that God Bless you great news

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women, and
Blessed is the Fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
Pray for us Sinners, now and at the our of death. Amen

Keep your head up, Believe Miracles do happen, God Bless you:)
