A Reflection on Pope Francis and St. Joseph
T
o mark International Labor Day (May 1), which coincides with the Feast
day of Saint Joseph the Worker, let us take a look at the special devotion
Pope Francis has for this Saint as well as focus briefly on one of the social
issues central to his thinking: the dignity of labor. We begin with his devotion to Saint Joseph, as there’s quite a list of things that connect Pope Francis to this
saint. Among them the choice of the date for the beginning of his pontificate the
19th of March, Saint Joseph’s feast day, and the choice of the nard flower symbolic
of this saint on his coat of arms. Then in July 2013, his decision to consecrate Vatican City State not just to Saint Michael, as had been previously planned, but to Saint
Joseph as well. And on a more personal note his admission to cherishing a wooden
statue representing a dormant Saint Joseph, dressed in gold trimmed dark green and
red garments according to Hispanic iconography, by which he places prayer requests.
Simply because as he mentioned when he confided to us this personal gesture: “He’s
a carpenter and he gets the job done, even though he sometimes makes you wait.”
As for what links Pope Francis to Saint Joseph, International Labor Day and workers, let us shine the spotlight on his words the 1st of May 2013, so the very first year
of his pontificate, during his weekly general audience, words which focus precisely
on work and the figure of Saint Joseph. In a special way, we reflect on the role played
by Joseph as the legal father who teaches his son his skills as a carpenter in the workshop in Nazareth on a daily basis and shares with him, the efforts, the commitment,
the satisfactions and problems that come with the job. On this occasion, Pope Francis goes on to remind us of the dignity and importance of work. The Book of Genesis, he says, tells us that God created man and woman entrusting them with the task
of filling the earth and subduing it, which does not mean exploiting it, but nurturing
and protecting it, caring for it through their work: “Work is part of God’s loving
plan, we are called to cultivate and care for all the goods of creation and in this way
participate in the work of creation! Work is fundamental to the dignity of a person...it
gives you the ability to maintain yourself, your family, to contribute to the growth of
your nation. And here I think of the difficulties which, in various countries, today
afflicts the world of work and business; I think of how many, and not just young
people, are unemployed, many times due to a purely economic conception of society,
which seeks selfish profit, beyond the parameters of social justice. I wish to extend
an invitation to solidarity to everyone, and I would like to encourage those in public
office to make every effort to give new impetus to employment, this means caring
for the dignity of the person, but above all I’d like to say do not lose hope; St. Joseph
also experienced moments of difficulty, but he never lost faith and was able to overcome them, in the certainty that God never abandons us. And then I would like to
speak especially to you young people: be committed to your daily duties, your study,
your work, to relationships of friendship, to helping towards others; your future also
depends on how you live these precious years of your life. Do not be afraid of commitment, of sacrifice and do not look with fear towards the future; keep your hope
alive: there is always a light on the horizon.”
But while Pope Francis on this occasion shares with us words of encouragement, he
also chooses to highlight some of the evils of society in the area of work and denounces once again, the practice some companies have of adopting policies that
favors profit over human dignity or even human life. And then uses an image to express how fundamental work is to the dignity of the person: “work to use an image
‘anoints’ with dignity, fills us with dignity, makes us similar to God who has worked
and still works, who also acts.”
Let’s hope the prayer requests that Pope Francis places by the reclining and dormant
figure of Saint Joseph are eventually answered…As he once assured us, they always
are!

your faith, do you do it? Or, do you remain silent so
that others don’t think you are weird? Pray for the
courage to be strong in your faith and share your witness with others.

S
Treasures from
our Tradition
urprisingly, the
church moved
very slowly in
claiming
marriage as a focus of attention and care. Nearly everywhere in the Roman
world, citizens agreed on
how to celebrate marriage. Consent of the man
and woman is what made a marriage valid in the
eyes of the law, and although there was a traditional ceremony, it was home‑based and optional.
The ceremony was for showing the social status
of the families involved (the procession ideally
detoured through crowds), and for reminding the
woman of her legal transfer from her father’s
control to her husband’s. The “big moment” of the
ceremony had nothing to do with vows, but with
the bride’s donning the yellow veil with red highlights that was the daily wear of married women.
A wedding feast included soothsayers and animal
sacrifice to the new household’s gods. Christians
found that distasteful, of course, but since marriage was a family matter, they could edit things
out. The church was comfortable with this, and
sometimes recommended that the couple seek
the advice of the bishop. His permission was only
required for the marriage of a cleric, or for a
marriage Rome didn’t recognize, such as between
a free woman and a slave. There was no blessing,
no liturgy, no priest. Christians followed the customs of the day, but they knew that custom and
relationships were transformed from within
themselves by the fact of their baptism. Outwardly, Christians married exactly as their pagan
neighbors, but they certainly invested the usual
gestures with a dynamic sense of Christ’s presence.
