In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me.

I adore you with profound reverence.

I ask your pardon for my sins and the grace to make this time of prayer fruitful.

My immaculate Mother St. Joseph, my Father and Lord, my guardian angel, and deceitful.

We can initiate our prayer using those celebrated words of the apostles.

Lord Jesus teach us to pray.

And specifically, which is the topic of our conversation with him, teach me how to pray through my work.

And as we contemplate Jesus' true presence, we could intuit what sanctification of work is all about,

because Jesus makes himself truly present via human work,

as we will pray during the oratory.

Our Lord only can be present as a consequence of human

work. In this specific instance, the making of bread, the production of wine and the prayers of the oratory mention the word work, not only

mentioned, it's a prominent word.

And so our Lord finds a home amid human work, a necessary condition for this true presence is that human work of producing

bread and wine.

The catechism invites us to participate in our Lord's prayer.

Lord, tell me, how do I participate in your prayer?

You being perfect God and perfect man, your whole life was a continuous act of adoration.

How do I approach that?

Yes, the standard answer is I've got to sanctify my work, I have to offer my work.

It's not that simple.
