A few weeks ago, I shared a story of a mother who taught in the elementary school in her community for more than a decade, but was laid off along with other teachers at the end of the last school year. Being laid off from the work she loved was devastating. She never saw it coming because she thought that her love of what she did translated into job security. She was very good with the kids, but she embraced her condition with hope and trust in God. She has since been hired as a substitute teacher while she continues to search for a full time position.

Lord Jesus, my desire to work is itself your gift. You made me with talents so I could shine your light to all the world. Send your spirit to guide me to work that will provide security and joy, and most of all the ability to serve you in love. St. Jude, I do not know where I am going, so I turn to you for direction, hope, and courage.
