St. Joseph the Worker

St.JOSEPH THE WORKER

Work is a good thing for one's humanity
—because through work
one not only transforms nature, adapting it to his or her own needs,
but also achieves fulfilment
as a human being and indeed,
in a sense,
becomes “more a human being.”

Pope John Paul II

St. Joseph led an extremely modest life. It is not his net worth, his earning power or his resumé that we admire. Joseph is the patron of workers because of his association with Jesus—to whom he taught his trade. He teaches us as well.
