O glorious St. Cajetan, you studied to be a lawyer, but when you felt that the Lord was calling you to his service, you abandoned everything and became a priest. You excelled in virtues, shunning all material rewards for your labor, helping the many unemployed people of your time. You provided loans without interest and you attracted a lot of benefactors who donated to your resources so that you could go on with your activities. Look on us with mercy. We wish to find employment that could help us and our families live with dignity. Listen to our petitions, dear saint; you, who could easily give up the food on your table for the needy, bring our petitions to Jesus. Amen
You were a model of virtue among the priests of your time, O St. Cajetan. You sought not to receive payments from your ministry, and you taught people how to pray the rosary and develop devotions to saints. You were truly a spiritual shepherd, and your concern was always focused on the salvation of souls. But despite this, you were also aware that with hungry stomachs, the faithful would have difficulty in understanding God’s Word. You embarked to help them, not just by giving them bread but helping them gain their living by work. Look on us with pity, O glorious saint. We have many unemployed people in our midst and their families go hungry. We ask you to guide the fathers and mothers who are looking for work. Amen

Prayer for the unemployed
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, You wanted all who are weary to come to You for support. Lord, I am worn out by my inability to find wage-earning work.
Day after day, my worry and fear grows as the rejections of my applications mount. I am able and willing to work---but I cannot find a worthwhile job.
Please help me to obtain one soon so that I can support myself and my family
in a decent way.
However, if it is your will that I wait longer, enable me to worry less
and to be able to take advantage of the time available to get closer to You.
Let me realize that there are other ways to bring about your kingdom on earth
besides salaried work. Help me to make use of them for the time being
so that I may continue to grow as a person for your greater glory. Amen.

> Villa on a hill
> When city planners threatened to level Beacon Hill in 1912, Mother Cabrini set out to find a suitable site to relocate the orphanage and, according to one story, she found it in a dream.
> In the dream, she saw a "villa on a hill." She sent two sisters to explore a site she found on a city map that she determined was the place she'd dreamed of. The following day the sisters and Mother Cabrini returned to the site with a real estate agent who told them the owner would never sell.
> Hitchhiking Hitchhiking (also known as lifting, thumbing, hitching, autostop or thumbing up a ride) is a means of transportation that is gained by asking people (usually strangers) for a ride in their automobile to travel a distance that may either be a short or long distance. back to their Beacon Hill home, the sisters were picked up by a woman in a chauffeur-driven limo.
> During their ride, Mother Cabrini told the woman of the home she hoped to buy, and the woman confessed that it was hers. She donated the land to the sisters, sealing the deal by sharing "a glass of water in the name of Our Lord," with Mother Cabrini.
