Prayer for Vocation in Daily Work

Monday, September 4, 2006

Almighty God our heavenly Father, you declare your glory and show forth your handiwork in the heavens and in the earth: Deliver us in our various occupations from the service of self alone, that we may do the work you give us to do in truth and beauty and for the common good; for the sake of him who came among us as one who serves, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

--U.S. Book of Common Prayer, “For Vocation in Daily Work,” (1979), p. 261
