This last weekend in August, we commemorate Labor Day weekend. The Catholic Church has always promoted the importance and value of human work and respect for the dignity of the worker. Our current Pope Leo XIV took the name Leo to honor Pope Leo XIII, who served as pope from 1878 to 1903. Pope Leo XIII wrote the important encyclical on Catholic social teachings, Rerum Novarum, in 1891, which addressed the conditions of the worker in the midst of the industrial revolution. May we see the dignity in the work we do as we commemorate Labor Day this weekend. Have a blessed week everyone - Father Lincoln.
