Today is St. John the Baptist's feast day. St. John the Baptist is one of the few saints who have two feast days: one celebrating his birth, June 24, and one remembering his death, August 29.

Happy May Day and St. Joseph the Worker feastday. St. Joseph is a highly revered figure and is the patron saint of the universal Church, fathers, and workers. He is also known as the foster father of Jesus and the husband of the Virgin Mary. He is the Patron Saint of Catholic Church, fathers, workers, married people, and the sick and dying.
According to the Gospels, St. Joseph was a carpenter from the town of Nazareth in Galilee. He was chosen by God to be the earthly father of Jesus and to take care of the Virgin Mary, who was carrying the Son of God in her womb.
St. Joseph is known for his humility and obedience to God's will. He is also seen as a model of fatherhood and a protector of the Holy Family.
In the Catholic tradition, St. Joseph is often invoked as a patron saint for those seeking guidance and protection in their own lives. He is also seen as a model of hard work and dedication, and is the patron saint of workers and those in need of employment.
Pope Pius XII instituted the feast of St. Joseph the Worker on May 1, 1955 so that it would coincide with International Workers Day, also known as May Day which is a secular celebration of labor and workers’ rights. During that time (in 1955) the Soviet Union proclaimed themselves as the defender of workers and utilized May Day as an opportunity to exalt Communism and parade its military prowess. Pope Pius XII chose the date specifically to ensure that workers did not lose the Christian understanding of work.

Happy Birthday, Pope Benedict! Such a blessing to have spoken with you and given you one of my bible studies. We miss you but are so thankful for our time with you and happy that you are in heaven with our Lord!

For those who watch "The Chosen", have you ever wondered what those cords or strings are hanging from Jesus' and the Apostles tunics? Or why they touch their fingers to the doorpost when they go in and out? I talked about these things today on "Catholic Connection" with Teresa Tomeo. The archive of this segment will be posted later today or tomorrow here: https://avemariaradio.net/catholic-connection-archives/?fbclid=IwAR03Z6BVyI3Pd54RmxxoTnDweXo5F-vTGh1UvUSr-41PtaEKjwUz-MIZ4SI
