Prayer for Labor Day
As the sun rises to bring in the new day:
• We remember those who descend into the earth, their work begins in darkness, pulling from the earth, the resources we steward.
• We remember those who work inside a building away from the light and brightness of the day.
• We remember those who work outside in the harsh elements of our world, the bitter cold and sweltering heat of extremes.
• We remember those who do not have a job to go to, who are struggling to meet the needs of their daily living expenses, for whom the day becomes long and arduous.
As the sun sets to bring in the evening of rest:
• We remember those who work in the night.
• We remember those who are trying to recover from their labor and toils of the day.
• We pray for a renewed sense of dignity in their lives and in their work.
God, in your goodness, you have made a home for the worker. Make a place in our hearts for compassion to the men and women who labor tirelessly for basic necessities. Ensure a place for the men and women who are struggling to find work. Grant us your wisdom to greet and care for those who are unable to work due to illness. May we continue to work together to bring about your reign! Through Christ our Lord. Amen. (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops)

Those who love and those who labor
follow in the way of Christ.
Thus the first disciples found him
Thus the gifts of love sufficed.
Jesus says to those who seek him,
"I will never pass your by.
Raise the stone and you shall find me.
Cleave the wood and there am I."
