For Labor Day | The Book of Common Prayer

Almighty God, who hast so linked our lives one with another

that all we do affects, for good or ill, all other lives: So guide

us in the work we do, that we may do it not for self alone, but

for the common good; and, as we seek a proper return for

our own labor, make us mindful of the rightful aspirations of

other workers, and arouse our concern for those who are out

of work; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and

reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and

ever. Amen.
