Lord, hear our prayer:

Father, we pray for ordinary men and women; for those with whom we work and those with whom we share our lives; for those whose daily work crushes out of them any real sense of being your children. We hold up before you any we know who find their work a toil, their employment a burden and their horizon bounded only by time and space. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. In Jesus’ name.

Amen.
