Lord some wait so long for employment, try so hard and often, only to experience disappointment and discouragement, and loss of savings, and debt.
They lose hope, they sometimes begin to doubt Your love and care.
Please help them find hope, faith, and work.
 
Dear Father, had not Joseph been able to find work, first before his betrothal to Mary, then again as a refugee in Egypt, and later again, in Nazareth, Your beloved Son Jesus and His holy Mother would have been without necessities. Please be mindful of this in this urgent need for income for those who are unemployed.
 
Dear Heavenly Father,
had not Joseph been able to find work, first before his betrothal to Mary, then again as a refugee in Egypt, and later again, in Nazareth, Your beloved Son Jesus and His holy Mother would have been without necessities. Please be mindful of this in this urgent need for income for those who are unemployed.

St Joseph, you had work when you married Mary, but the relocation to Bethlehem left you without employment, as again, did the flight to Egypt to escape murder by King Herod of the divine Child after Jesus was born. When you moved to Nazareth with the family, you again had to build up a business to support your wife and please pray that unemployed men and women will find suitable and reliable work soon.

Our Mother, St. Michael the Archangel, their guardian angels and patron saints, please pray for them to find work, stability, and satisfaction in their work.
 
Lord, through divine command, you ordained that man must toil to live. You are the source of all goodness and blessings, and it is by your will that all things are done. Grant therefore we humbly beseech you that all job seekers and unemployed may find suitable empoyment to fulfill your divine command and to live a dignified life which you desire for all people. Comfort all people going through financial difficulties, especially during the instances where the injustices and malice of men is set before their eyes. Grant that the hope they place in you may triumph over all obstacles and difficulties they endure, so that their perseverance may obtain for them the promises you grant for all who trust in you. Amen
 
Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Jesus we ask Your merciful aid for all those who are seeking employment.

Jesus, in Your early life you needed Joseph to find work in order to support You and Your Mother. He had to leave the work he supported Mary with during her pregnancy, to then find work in a foreign country where he didn’t even know the language; and then again when he took Your family to Nazareth. Later, others supported You by their charity, during Your public mission.

In Your understanding of human needs, please grant our prayers for reliable work for the unemployed.
Please help job seekers to stay positive and hopeful, and to find purpose as they look for work. Help them to present themselves well and wisely in their applications and interviews.

It is such a difficult time, with so many out of work and looking for jobs, and limited opportunities available. Please protect the unemployed and their families.
 
Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
 
Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.
