“The human person is the fruit of divine genius. It is the chief work of God” - Archbishop Michel Aupetit, at the Mass of the dedication of Notre Dame Cathedral.
Today is the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker.
It was established by Pope Pius XII in order to give a Christian character to the work. The workers have their model and protector in St. Joseph who by the daily labor sanctified himself and provided for the necessities of his family.
Many of you will remember Fr. Polycarp who served in several of our parishes. Please join me in prayer. May God be with him and his people to protect them from harm. https://t.co/qlBzPF2x4z
“Give thanks to the LORD, who is good, whose mercy endures forever.” (Psalm 106:1)
On this — one of the coldest Thanksgivings on record — remember you are always wrapped in the warm love of our Lord. You are in my prayers.
Happy Thanksgiving!
