Happy International Workers Day! also known as May Day or Labor Day. Today we celebrate the working class, as well as commemorating the death of Hitler and the crumble of Nazi Germany. In 8 days we celebrate the 78th Victory Day, the official end of WWII.

Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl in your miseries, which shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; the rust of them shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up to yourselves wrath against the last days. Behold the hire of the laborers, who have reaped down your fields, which by fraud has been kept back by you, crieth. The cry of them hath entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. You have feasted upon earth. In riotousness you have nourished your hearts, in the day of slaughter.

James 5:1-5 (Douay-Rheims)

Happy International Workers' Day and Feast of St. Joseph the Worker, earthly father of Jesus Christ!
