Prayer to Saint Barbara
Saint Barbara, your courage is much stronger than the forces of
hurricanes and the power of lightening. Be always by our side
so that we, like you, may face all storms, wars, trials and tribulations
with the same fortitude with which you faced yours. O Beautiful
Maiden once imprisoned in a high tower, protect us from the lightning
and fire that rages in the sky and the discord of war. Keep us
alert and protect us from the dangers that surround us. Holy Mary
Mother of Jesus intercessor for us all; we pray to assure receiving
of the Sacraments of Penance and Holy Eucharist at the hour of
our death. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord, Ame

wisdom are a beacon of light to all: Give special guidance to
firefighters so that we may be protected from harm while performing
our duty. Help me with your loving care while I work to save the

the alertness to protect my neighbors and all others whom I am
pledged to aid when involved in fire or accident. Amen."
St. Barbara Prayer for Miners
"O Lord after I have worked my last day and come out of the
earth and have placed my feet on Thy footstool, let me use the
tools of prudence, faith, hope and charity. From now on till I
will be called to sign my last pay roll, make all the cables in
the machinery strong with Thy love. Supply all the gang ways,
slopes, and chambers with the pure air of Thy grace ad let the
light of hope be my guidance, and when my last picking and shoveling
is done, may my last car be full of Thy grace and give me the
Holy Bible for my last shift, so that Thou, the General Superintendent
of all thecollieries can say: Well done, thou good, faithful miner
come, and sign the pay roll and receive the check of eternal happiness.
Amen"
