O Jesus, I observe You as You work by the sweat of Your brow in the carpentry alongside Joseph, in communion with Your Father in Heaven, and Your sister and brothers on earth.

I offer to You this day’s work: may it allow me to grow closer to You in all the moments where I turn to You.

May this work help me serve my brothers and sister as much as the peace and the love that I hope to offer them.

Come, O Lord, and work with me today, and this day will be fulfilled even if the results of my work are poor or my job is thankless.”
