All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. (Proverbs 14:23)

Let us pray: O Eternal God, whose shelter is forever over us, grant us the will and the strength to do our duties and responsibilities everyday. May each and every one know the importance of hard work. May we live up to what we promised to you, to our government, to our employers and lastly to our families who are depending so much on us. When we become idle and just do all talk, remind us Lord. Amen.
