labor for the common good

Green Hands Teamwork Working Together

Almighty God, you have so linked our lives one with another
   that all we do affects, for good or ill, all other lives:
so guide us in the work we do,
   that we may do it not for ourselves alone,
   but for the common good;
and, as we seek a proper return for our own labor,
   make us mindful of the rightful aspirations of other workers,
   and arouse our concern for those who are out of work;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
   who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
   one God, for ever and ever.
