St. Joseph The Worker

Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Confessor

Work, imposed on man as a penalty, is transformed into a blessing through his communion with the life and work and death of Jesus Christ, a communion effected by the active part he takes in the Sacrifice and Communion of the Mass--with St. Joseph as model and patron. This Feast was instituted by Pope Pius XII in 1956.
The Roman Missal, 1962

Collect for today:
O God, Creator of all things, who didst lay on the human race the law of labour: graciously grant: that by following the example of Saint Joseph and under his patronage, we may carry out the work Thou dost command, and obtain the reward Thou dost promise. Amen
