Scripture, Reflection and Prayer 05/1/2009

How did this Man come by this wisdom and these miracles? Is He not the carpenter's Son?
-
Mt 13:55

Reflection: Work is not something that people do for the sole purpose of earning a living; it is a human dimension that can and must be sanctified. In this way, work will enable people to fulfill their vocation as creatures made in the image and likeness of God.
- Pope John Paul II

Prayer: O Lord, grant that St. Joseph, patron of human work, will assist me in my work, in that vocation I have on earth. May he teach me to resolve the difficult problems connected with work.
