Saint Joseph the Worker
May 1st marks the Memorial of Saint Joseph the Worker. Today we honor the foster father of Jesus and thank him for his example of sanctifying work and the ordinary labor of mankind. Life wasn’t meant to be easy for fallen humanity and the consequences of original sin. Yet even great Saint Joseph, holy Saint Joseph, had to sweat to provide for his Holy Family. Work isn’t a chore to be escaped. It is a path to holiness when undertaken for God. We commend all our ordinary and extraordinary needs to this wonderful Saint!
