Prayer To Saint Benedict To Find Work
Benedict, teacher of prayer for millions of people, make my prayer sincere, authentic and heavenly, following your example, O God! Remove every vain word from my lips; remove every negative, sad or false thought; remove every feeling or desire that does not come from the Holy Spirit. May my voice, my thoughts and my desires be in full communion with God’s mission on this planet.
St Benedict, who taught monks dedicated to meditation to work with their hands, teaches me to transform my daily work into prayer. O God, bless my hands that they may be filled with abundant results. Bless the working hands of men, whatever their work, then do it with enthusiasm, using intelligence, so that the result of their effort is useful, practical and a vehicle of brotherhood among men.
It drives away any work done with apathy, laziness or bad intentions. May all my actions be transformed into praise because they are well done, so that they may be blessed by God the Father and the Mother, the Son of God and the Holy Spirit. May your example and your teaching, summed up in the phrase “ora et labora”, be the stimulus for building the universe as a temporary roof for the brothers and sisters who go to the house of the Mother and Father of God. Amen.
