Hi, I’m Jennifer Burrows, Assistant Director – People and Organisational Capability which is a part of the People and Culture team here at the Archdiocese of Brisbane. I’m joining you today to share the Pope’s Prayer Intention for the month of May, which is for working conditions. People and Culture is about creating a thriving workplace where individuals feel valued, supported, and inspired to contribute their best. It focuses on fostering inclusion, growing capability, strengthening leadership, and aligning people practices with organisational values and strategy. Pope Francis said, “Let us pray that through work, each person might find fulfilment, families might be sustained in dignity, and that society might be humanised.” We continue to keep Pope Francis in our prayers.
Heavenly Father, We come before You today, asking for Your guidance and strength as we navigate the challenges and successes of our jobs. We pray for a work environment where fairness, respect, and safety prevail. Help us to approach our work with a positive attitude, even when faced with difficulties. Grant us the wisdom to make sound decisions and to handle conflicts with grace and understanding. May we be a source of encouragement for our colleagues. Lord, we trust in Your plan for our life and our work, and we pray that You will lead us to a place where we can thrive and make a positive impact. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
