Labor Day
My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Praised Be Jesus Christ…Greetings from Blessed Mother!!!
The Catholic Church & Labor Day:
This weekend we are celebrating Labor Day. This day always falls on the first Monday in September.
The Catholic Church has always been concerned about all aspects of human life including “Labor”. It was the Catholic Church who was the 1st to outline the rights of workers in the Encyclical Rerum novarum (Latin for "Of the new things" which was an open letter to the world about the Rights and Duties of Capital and Labor, issued by Pope Leo XIII on 15 May 1891.
This Encyclical addressed the condition of the working classes and the relationships and mutual duties between labor and capital, as well as government and its citizens. Of primary concern was the working class." It supported the rights of labor while rejecting socialism and unrestricted capitalism, whilst affirming the right to private property. Rerum Novarum is a foundational text of modern (Catholic) social teaching.
Our Dignity:
Always remember that our dignity doesn’t come from the work that we do but rather from the fact the we are children of God created in His image and likeness! That’s why it doesn’t matter if you are a doctor or an orderly ~ in the eyes of God you are equal, loved and valued!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
Fr A. Dudzinski
