Prayer to St. Cajetan of Thiene

Columban Daily Prayer
August 7, 2021

O glorious St. Cajetan,
you studied to be a lawyer,
but when you felt that the Lord was calling you
to his service, you abandoned everything
and became a priest.
You excelled in virtues, shunning all
material rewards for your labor,
helping the many unemployed people of your time.
You provided loans without interest
and you attracted many benefactors
who donated to your resources
so that you could go on with your activities.
Look on us with mercy.
We wish to find employment that could help us
and our families live with dignity.
Listen to our petitions, dear saint;
you, who could easily give up the food on your table
for the needy, bring our petitions to Jesus we pray.

Amen.
