May 1st: Memorial of Saint Joseph the Worker
Gospel text
Mt 13,54-58
Jesus went to his hometown and taught the people in their synagogue. They were amazed and said, «Where did He get this wisdom and these special powers? Isn't he the carpenter's son?».
Gospel's Commentary
Today we celebrate the memory of Joseph the worker. It is a holiday to rest from our daily chores, when we also commemorate the International Labor Day. And the Church, today, offers us the example of Saint Joseph, the carpenter from Nazareth, who was a model worker, keeping up his family and developing his profession. The same Gospel introduces Jesus as the «carpenter's son» (Mt 13:56), in his own hometown of Nazareth, where He grew up and where He lived most of his terrestrial life. —We Christians, do we know enough about Jesus Christ? We also belong with his people, God's people, Church's people.
