Feast of St. Joseph the Worker

Today we celebrate the liturgical feast of St. Joseph the Worker to honor St. Joseph, to highlight the dignity and importance of labor, and to honor the workers who are dignified by their labor and who bring Christ to their workplace. This is the second feast of St. Joseph; the first was the feast of St. Joseph, husband of Mary and the patron of the universal Church which we celebrated on the 19th of March.

History:
In response to the May Day Celebrations of workers in the Communist countries where workers were considered mere “cogs in the machine,” Pope Pius XII instituted the feast of St. Joseph the Worker to Christianize the concept of labor, to acknowledge the dignity of labor and to give all workers a role model and heavenly patron.

Theology of work:
The Bible presents God as a worker (Gen 1:1: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”) Who is engaged in the work of creation and providing for His creatures. God the Father assigns His Son Jesus the work of human redemption and gives the Holy Spirit the work of our sanctification. That is why Jesus said: “My Father is at work until now, so I am at work (John 5:17).

Further, after the horendous fall of Adam and Eve, it was God’s command that man should work: “You have to earn your bread by the sweat of your brow” (Genesis 3:19). Jesus showed us the necessity and nobility of work by working in Joseph’s carpentry shop until he started his public life of a preaching and healing ministry. The workers are important and their work noble, not only because they obey God’s command to work, but also because they sustain and promote social welfare and the progress of societies.

Joseph as an exemplary worker:
Joseph worked to support his family by helping his neighbors, using his skill in carpentry. He was a just worker, honest in his trade of buying wood, selling his finished products, and charging for his services. He was a working parent laboring hard to support his family. He was a praying worker who prayed in all his needs, got answers from God in dreams on important occasions, and kept God’s presence in his workshop. He was an obedient worker who obeyed the Mosaic Law of Sabbath rest and spent the day of rest to take Jesus to the local synagogue and to teach Jesus God’s Law given through Moses.

This Feast reminds of three things we can do (Life messages):

1) Let us appreciate the dignity of all forms of work and all types of laborers as they glorify God and promote the welfare of society.
2) Let us be sincere and committed to our work as St. Joseph was, working in the constant awareness of the presence of God.
3) Let us love our work and convert it into prayer by offering it for God’s glory. (cf: Fr. Tony K)
