...but those who seek the LORD lack no
good thing. - Psalm
34:10b
"A friend will visit his friend
in the morning to wish him a a good day,
in the evening, a good night,
taking also an opportunity to converse with him during the day.
In like manner make visits to
Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament,
if your duties permit it.
Most merciful Father, thank you for this day of work with all its achievements as well as its burdens. Thank you for all the successes, the challenges, and even the difficulties that it brought to me. Your Son once said to His Apostles, "Come by yourselves to an out-of-the-way place and rest a little." Thank you for this gift of rest. May this time be a chance for me to renew my gratitude for all your blessings. In your great compassion and generosity, please be mindful of those who are out of work. And help me to do a better job tomorrow. I ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

It is especially at the foot of the altar
that one prays well.
In all your visits to Our Savior, frequently offer
His precious blood to the Eternal Father.
You will find these visits very conducive to increase in you divine love."

First
Monday in September
"Work
is not only good in the sense that it is useful or something to enjoy; it is
also good as being something worthy, that is to say, something that corresponds
to man's dignity, that expresses this dignity and increases it. ... Work is a
good thing for man - a good thing for his humanity - because through work man
not only transforms nature, adapting it to his own needs, but he also achieves
fulfillment as a human being and indeed in a sense becomes 'more a human
being.'" ~ St JP II, Laborem Exercens #9
