In order to pray the most opportune and appropriate prayer in the face of the various vicissitudes that are experienced in the field of work, Salvatore Moccia, professor at the CEU Cardenal Herrera University in Valencia, and Tomás Trigo, professor at the School of Theology at the University of Navarra, have published the book Working with Jesus. The book offers a compilation of thirty-four prayers, each of them specifically designed for a specific work status .

The book, prefaced by the Archbishop of Pamplona and Bishop of Tudela, Monsignor Francisco Pérez González, offers the reader prayers conceived for ordinary situations of the workshop of work: 'At the beginning of the day', 'Prayer to St. Joseph to sanctify the work', 'Noon Prayer' or 'At the end of a workshop of work'. But neither does it forget the extraordinary challenges of the professional environment, for them there are prayers such as 'Good humor despite the difficulties' or 'Before a meeting of work'.

The work also pays special attention to people in a delicate or unique position ('Prayer of the boss') and, to a great extent, to facilitate the comfort offered by prayer in the face of compromising or undesirable situations: 'Monotony', 'When a difficult decision has to be made' or 'Prayer in economic difficulties', among others.
