00:00:10,844 --> 00:00:12,412
I’m joining you today to share
6
00:00:12,412 --> 00:00:15,415
the Pope’s Prayer Intention for the month of May,
7
00:00:15,415 --> 00:00:17,117
which is for working conditions.
8
00:00:17,884 --> 00:00:22,022
People and Culture is about creating a thriving workplace
9
00:00:22,022 --> 00:00:23,857
where individuals feel valued,
10
00:00:23,857 --> 00:00:26,860
supported, and inspired to contribute their best.
11
00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:31,264
It focuses on fostering inclusion, growing capability,
12
00:00:31,264 --> 00:00:34,234
strengthening leadership, and aligning people practices
13
00:00:34,234 --> 00:00:36,836
with organisational values and strategy.
14
00:00:38,038 --> 00:00:39,606
Pope Francis said,
15
00:00:39,606 --> 00:00:41,374
“Let us pray that through work,
16
00:00:41,374 --> 00:00:43,810
each person might find fulfilment,
17
00:00:43,810 --> 00:00:46,413
families might be sustained in dignity,
18
00:00:46,413 --> 00:00:48,581
and that society might be humanised.”
19
00:00:49,282 --> 00:00:51,985
We continue to keep Pope Francis in our prayers.
20
00:00:53,086 --> 00:00:54,621
Heavenly Father,
21
00:00:54,621 --> 00:00:56,356
We come before You today,
22
00:00:56,356 --> 00:00:58,892
asking for Your guidance and strength
23
00:00:58,892 --> 00:01:02,295
as we navigate the challenges and successes of our jobs.
24
00:01:03,163 --> 00:01:05,565
We pray for a work environment where fairness,
25
00:01:05,565 --> 00:01:07,634
respect, and safety prevail.
26
00:01:08,334 --> 00:01:11,271
Help us to approach our work with a positive attitude,
27
00:01:11,271 --> 00:01:13,239
even when faced with difficulties.
28
00:01:13,973 --> 00:01:16,709
Grant us the wisdom to make sound decisions
29
00:01:16,709 --> 00:01:19,546
and to handle conflicts with grace and understanding.
30
00:01:20,180 --> 00:01:23,083
May we be a source of encouragement for our colleagues.
31
00:01:24,084 --> 00:01:27,420
Lord, we trust in Your plan for our life and our work,
32
00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:30,590
and we pray that You will lead us to a place where we can thrive
33
00:01:30,590 --> 00:01:32,092
and make a positive impact.
34
00:01:32,926 --> 00:01:34,561
In Jesus’ name,
35
00:01:34,561 --> 00:01:35,395
Amen.
