Do not abandon me, dear Father, in this search, but rather grant me this favor I seek so that I may return to you with praise and thanksgiving for your gracious assistance. Grant this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Dear Lord, You wanted all who are weary to come to You for support. Lord, I am worn out by my inability to find a wage-earning job. Day after day, my worries and fears grow as the rejections of my applications mount. I am able and willing to work, but I cannot find a good job.

St. Cajetan, you lovingly provided financial assistance to the unemployed and often went without in order to bless the families of the unemployed with the basic necessities of life.
