Prayers of Intercession

We pray for workers everywhere,
that they will be able to take pride
in the work they do,
be treated with dignity
and receive a fair wage
in return for their labor.

We pray for employers,
that they will be motivated
by compassion and a concern
for the common good,
leading them to value people
more than profit.

We pray for decision makers
and world leaders,
that they will use the power
they have for the good of all peoples.

We pray for ourselves,
that we may take time
to reflect on our own talents
and share our gifts to benefit
our community and wider world.
