Labor Day - May 1
To all the people who work in the East and the world “Do not fear commitment and sacrifice, and do not feel afraid of the future; but keep hope alive, because there is always a ray of light at every horizon. Do not forget to pray and recite the Holy Rosary, and let us ask St Joseph and the Virgin Mary to teach us to be faithful to our daily tasks and to give more space to the Lord in our lives” (Message of His Holiness Pope Francis to the Arabic - speaking pilgrims – St. Peter's Square, Rome, 1 May 2013).
