No more shouting from the workers who wake up early in the morning and clean the school area. No more greetings and say hello, good morning, to everyone.
That was my morning day in the beginning of May. I walked through the Church without facing anyone. Some students are praying in the Church. Yes, today is a special holiday for our workers. Time for themselves. Like in another part of the world, we celebrate the labor day. Saint Joseph, the Patron of the laborers, was a faithful worker. He obeyed the will of God. The workers are those who follow the instructions of their leader. Ideally, they work for the common good.
Saint Joseph was in the two choices, between his desire and the will of God. Finally, he follows the will of God without leaving his desire to work faithfully. Joseph provides himself with God's plan. In other words, he is someone who eats God's flesh and drinks His blood. This should be the attitude of all Christians who follow Jesus. Eat the flesh and drink the blood begins in the Eucharistic celebration. Then, it continues in daily life. The mission of the Eucharist is not in the celebration, but in daily life.
May Saint Joseph protect our workers, give them the strong faith, make them faithful in their job. Happy labor day.
