By labour and abilities men and women always strive to improve the quality of their life. Today, particularly by means of science and technology, they have extended their mastery over almost the whole of nature, and still continues to extend it. The more the power of mankind increases, the wider is the scope of their responsibilities, as individuals and as communities. We are being created in God’s image, have been commissioned to master the earth and all it contains, and so rule the world in justice and holiness.
(Man's activity in the world - From the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World of the Second Vatican Council, no. 33-34)
1st May - Happy Labour Day 2013 and Happy Feast of St Joseph, the Worker.
