LABOR

Worker of the world, we are thankful for those about us whose labor enhances our lives day by day:

For men and women who face peril and suffer pain;

For those who fill the earth and tend machinery;

For those who strive in deep waters and venture in far countries;

For those who work in offices and warehouses;

For those who labor at furnaces and in factories;

For those who toil in mines and in space;

For those who buy and sell;

For those who care for children and families;

For all who live by strength of arm and hand;

For all who manage and govern;

For all who enrich the common life through the arts and sciences; For all who teach and communicate;

And for all who serve the common good as religious leaders, physicians,lawyers, engineers, librarians, social workers, and diplomats.

We are thankful for all whose labor enhances our lives.
