Housework Prayer

The following is an invocation that I love. 
I can honestly say I hate housework. I made the decision when I was 10
years old that I was going to grow up and get a job that paid enough to allow
me to get a housekeeper.  Now 40 years later I realize I failed to specify a
job that was good enough to afford a live-in housekeeper.   Since it's not
going away I try and remind myself to do it joyfully and to remember that
keeping house is definitely part of the good work

St Brigid,
as I go about my housework, let me see each job I do,

As a way of honoring you and doing my share of the Good Work..

Let me wash away my judgments of others,  as I do those loads of laundry,
and may my thoughts of others be as warm as the clothes I fold

Let me tidy up my mind as I tidy up the newspapers,
Let me sweep away my fears like the dirt from little paws.

May I be as quick with my forgiveness as I am with mop and broom,
Sweeping up the clutter in my heart as in my living room.

May I rinse out pride and ego as I rinse my morning dishes,
And may  anger, hate and doubt go down the drain as well.

Please remind me often, dearest Brigid,
That I follow in your path
and that the way I'm called to serve,
Is an honor given me, and not below what I deserve.
