Co-creators

I used this stained glass window of St. Joseph on his feast day, March 19.  Clicking on it makes it a little easier to see, but it is obscure a lot like St. Joseph himself.  His feast always falls during Lent and is swallowed up by that season and by St. Patrick's Day just two days earlier.  I went to Catholic School in a parish dedicated to him and later as a pastor our school was staffed by the Sisters of St. Joseph,
Because he doesn't get his due in March we wanted to celebrate him after Lent.  May 1 was the date Communists celebrated workers.  To call attention to the Church's stand with workers, in 1955 Pope Pius XII established May as the feast of St. Joseph the Worker.  He referred to Pope Leo XIII's support for unions and for workers rights.
"Yahweh God took the man and settled him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and take care of it." (Genesis 2:15)  God made us co-creators with God's very self.  God lives in us and works through the work that we do in God's evolving creation of the earth.
