"Novena for Work - Day 1"

Are you, or someone you know looking for a new job? Today begins our novena praying for work through the intercession of St. Josemaria Escriva. To follow along on this novena each day, please subscribe to my channel. To download the full text of the novena on the St. Josemaria Institute website, click here. A novena is prayer repeated for nine consecutive days, asking for God’s provision for a specific situation. I prayed this novena several times over the past 10 years when I was looking for work. Although I can’t promise you that you will receive a job offer by the end of the novena, I can promise you that you will receive tremendous graces and peace in the process. St. Josemaria Escriva (January 9, 1902 – June 26, 1975) was a Spanish priest who founded Opus Dei (The Work of God), a Personal Prelature of the Catholic Church, focused on promoting holiness in the midst of ordinary life. I first learned about him when I lived in Spain my senior year of college. I had moved there to teach English and met several people involved with Opus Dei and became enamored by his writings. He is a saint of our modern times and there are numerous videos of him on YouTube speaking to crowds all over the world. He is warm, funny, practical and a joy to listen to about becoming a saint through our work. The prayers for the novena were written by the St. Josemaria Institute.
