Sts. Crispin & Crispinian

October 25 (wage earners)

Precious Lord, Saints Crispin and Crispinian were brothers who promoted Your kingdom by day and supported their families by night as shoemakers. I ask them to pray for the people I know who would like to do full-time ministry but cannot afford it. I also ask them to intercede for those who work to support their families and give their spare time to the Church. Help us, dear God, to find the right balance between our jobs and our ministries. You are the Provider, Lord; give us what we need financially and guide us as we devote our limited time to the work of Your kingdom. Saints Crispin and Crispinian, pray for us. Amen.
