Since I’ve become a Catholic (by choice) I’ve become interested in asking Saints to pray for me. I found this prayer asking St Josemaría Escrivá for prayer for those needing work.

Prayer to St Josemaría Escrivá

“O God, through the mediation of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, you granted countless graces to your priest Saint Josemaría, choosing him as a most faithful instrument to found Opus Dei, a way to holiness through daily work and the ordinary duties of a Christian. Grant that I also may learn to turn all the circumstances and events of my life into opportunities to love you and serve the Church, the Pope and all souls, with joy and simplicity, lighting up the paths of the earth with faith and love. Through the intercession of Saint Josemaría, please grant me the favor I request… (here make your petition)…. Amen.”

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father…
