Archbishop Thomas G. Wenski of Miami has released this Labor Day 2016 statement. According to the USCCB, "This statement draws attention to Pope Francis' recent address to the US Congress, in which he highlighted the connection between economic pressures and stresses on the family. Archbishop Wenski in particular laments the struggles of those in communities with elevated rates of poverty, substance abuse, and the dissolution of the family. 'The Church weeps with all of these families, with these children, whose homes and worlds are broken,' Archbishop Wenski said."
This Labor Day, let us pray in the same way Archbishop Wenski chose to end his statement:
"Fill us at daybreak with your kindness,
that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days.
And may the gracious care of the LORD our God be ours;
prosper the work of our hands for us!
Prosper the work of our hands! (Psalm 90:14-17)
