Rogation Tuesday
On these three days before The Ascension, we continue to pray for the well being of that which helps sustain us. Yesterday we prayed for a fruitful harvest. Because almost none of us eat the fruit of own toil, we need commerce and industry to bring those harvest to us, and to pay a fair wage for doing so. Let us pray:
Almighty God, whose Son Jesus Christ in his earthly life shared our toil and hallowed our labor: Be present with your people where they work; make those who carry on the industries and commerce of this land responsive to your will; and give to us all a pride in what we do, and a just return for our labor; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Here's some more on living wages for all:
