My friends in Christ,
Tomorrow, we celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker. Jesus' earthly father was a laborer, as was Jesus, prior to His ministry. There is dignity in the work we do. Let's pray this weekend for workers, for their needs, for their dignity, and for all of those struggling to find work.
May is also traditionally a month dedicated to Mary and to praying the Rosary. Pope Pius XI said if we want peace in our hearts and homes, we should not fail to pray it. I know it can be a challenging prayer, but I invite you to offer your intercessions to our Blessed Mother this month, even with a single decade of the Rosary, or a single Hail Mary. She is our most powerful intercessor before Her Son, Jesus.
Yours in Christ,
Monsignor Mc
