As we take time today to appreciate the contributions of American workers all over our country, here are a couple of prayers that always remind me of the importance of our labor for the common good. I am always particularly struck by the request, "may we never forget that our common life depends upon each other's toil."

The first is a prayer we offer in Compline (prayers before sleep)

O God, your unfailing providence sustains the world we live in and the life we live: Watch over those, both night and day, who work while others sleep, and grant that we may never forget that our common life depends upon each other's toil; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

And the other is the prayer set aside for Labor Day:

Almighty God, who hast so linked our lives one with another that all we do affects, for good or ill, all other lives: So guide us in the work we do, that we may do it not for self alone, but for the common good; and, as we seek a proper return for our own labor, make us mindful of the rightful aspirations of other workers, and arouse our concern for those who are out of work; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Have a safe and happy Labor Day!
Fr. Tommy
