Readings for the Feast of St Joseph the Worker

First Reading:  God finished his "work" of creation

Alternative First Reading:  Offer up your work as a prayer

Responsorial Psalm:  Bless the work of our hands

Gospel:  Jesus the son of a worker, a carpenter  (also Son of a Worker, the Father!)

Reflection:  After the recent tragedy in Bangladesh, Pope Francis has issued a call for better conditions for workers.
Good to see the Hong Kong Diocese Justice and Peace Commission supporting striking dock workers (who haven't had a pay increase for 12 years)

Prayer:  Dear Jesus, please bless all workers....and help us offer our work as a prayer
