(Whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ." [Col. 3:17]) O Jesus, sweet Jesus, O Jesus divine, My life and my death unto Thee I resign. Every action of mine shall Thy patronage claim; For whatever I do shall be done in Thy name. (Renew your good intention frequently during the day and especially as the beginning of any important work or duty by some short ejaculatory prayer, for example:) All in the name of Jesus. All for the glory of God. All for Jesus. All for the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the immaculate heart of Mary. In the name of the Father, + and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Come Holy Spirit, enlighten my mind and direct my will, that I may do what is pleasing to Thee and conductive to my salvation.
O Lord, my God, Creator and Ruler of the universe, it is Your Will that human beings accept the duty of work. May the work I do bring growth in this life to me and those I love and help to extend the Kingdom of Christ. Give all persons work that draws them to You and to each other in cheerful service. I unite all my work with the Sacrifice of Jesus in the Mass that it may be pleasing to You and give You glory. I beg Your Blessing upon all my efforts. With Saint Joseph as my example and guide, help me to do the work You have asked and come to the reward You have prepared.
God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Hear my prayer for these soldiers under my command. Grant that I may bring the spirit of Christ to all my efforts and orders as I exercise my authority over those entrusted to my care. Inform my judgment with your Holy Spirit so that I may make decisions in conformity with your law and for the common good. Grant this through Christ our Lord.
