living wage days

In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr., Let Justice Roll is sponsoring Living Wage Days this weekend.

I've written previously about a living wage, so I won't repeat. It just seems to me that a person who works full time shouldn't have to live in poverty.

Almighty God, whose Son Jesus Christ in his earthly life shared our toil and hallowed our labor: Be present with your people where they work; make those who carry on the industries and commerce of this land responsive to your will; and give to us all a pride in what we do, and a just return for our labor; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
