Stewardship Prayer for Labor Day

Lord Jesus Christ,
 
As we celebrate our national holiday in honor of the dignity of labor and our duty to use the fruits of our labor for others, teach us to recognize you, and help us follow you amidst our busy life.
 
Open the Scriptures to us that we may know you, see you, hear you – in the voices of friends and family, in the ministries of our parish, in the proclamation of the Word, and in the breaking of the bread.
 
Teach us to be good stewards, that we may use your gifts wisely and care for all those you place in our path. 
 
Encourage us, when we are overwhelmed. Strengthen us, when we are frightened. Challenge our complacency.
 
Help us make this new season a time of spiritual renewal, hope, and action to proclaim the Gospel in our words and in our deeds. Amen.
