For all who work
I give thanks this day for all who work –
whether that work is
paid or unpaid
honored or unrecognized
whether that work
earns a pay check or simply involves the day-to-day tasks of living
whether that work is
a labor of love
or somehow combines all of the above.
I give thanks for all who have lived and died
to protect the lives and rights of those who work.
I give thanks for all who live and give of themselves,
and risk themselves,
to make a better world for all who work.
I confess and grieve that the life I live,
the privilege and comfort I enjoy,
too often rests on the backs of brothers and sisters who work.
I recognize that all too often sisters and brothers work
in dangerous conditions, in situations where they are exploited, violated.
I pray that the day will come when all people have work to do
work that is safe and meaningful,
work that is honored and valued,
work that pays a wage that allows the workers
to provide a decent living for themselves and for their families.
I pray that I will receive the grace and the wisdom and the courage
to in some small way
make a contribution to the dawning of that day.
I give thanks this day for all who work.
See you along the Trail.
