Labor of Love for Him

Description "For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be. " ~ Matthew 6:20-21

"May Day" was celebrated throughout the Comm unist world as a way of supposedly honoring the role and importance of labo rers in Marxist countries. The Communist conception of work as an end in it self was, of course, very different from the Christian understanding. In 1955, to highlight this difference, Pope Pius XII instituted the feast of St. Joseph the Worker. Joseph, the husband of Mary and the foster-father of Jesus, spent a lifetime laboring as a carpenter. His primary motivation for working wasn't  a quest for riches or status, but a desire to s erve God and to care for his family in a loving way. Joseph never worked an y miracles; he never made any important speeches; he wasn't a public figu re, but was known only as a humble carpenter (Matthew 13:55). Joseph labor ed in obscurity, but was nonetheless given an important part in God's plan .
