HAPPY LABOR DAY
St. Matthew in his parable of the “Workers
in the Vineyard” (Chapter 20) tells us how the
landowner went into the marketplace looking for
workers for his vineyard at different hours and
agreed to pay them a fair day’s wage. Some
workers started at nine o’clock; some, at twelve
o’clock; and others, later in the day. When the
day’s work was over, the landowner paid all the
workers the same full day’s wage. That was his
agreement. Of course, those who worked longer
hours were a bit disgruntled and thought they
should receive more…but the agreement was for
a fair day’s wage, regardless of the hours.
In reality, nothing has really changed.
There are still differences between the labor
market and the worker. I prefer to have those
differences than to have a work force suffering as
it is today. The non-worker is unstable, his family
is in need, and his country is hurting. We all need
a special gift and blessing this Labor Day that our
economy will begin to grow.
Therefore on this Labor Day, let us also
remember to pray for the unemployed and offer
them a word of encouragement! Don’t give
up…keep your spirits high and pray to the Lord
for guidance. God will not let you down because
He loves the faithful worker.
Let us also pay tribute to two special groups
of workers: our young men and women in the
Armed Forces protecting us and our freedom, as
well as the mothers whose workplace is their home
raising their children. They are often the forgotten
workers.
Congratulations to our work force.
May our economy grow.
Happy Labor Day.!
