  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 1st of May WELCOME! SAINT JEREMIAH THE PROPHET Jeremias [Saint Jeremiah] lived at the close of the seventh and in the first part of the sixth century before Christ; a contemporary of Draco and Solon of Athens. In the year 627, during the reign of Josias, he was called at a youthful age to be a prophet, and for nearly half a century, at least from 627 to 585, he bore the burden of the prophetic office.  FROM A PRIESTLY FAMILY He belonged to a priestly (not a high-priestly) family of Anathoth, a small country town northeast of Jerusalem now called Anata; but he seems never to have performed priestly duties at the temple. The scenes of his prophetic activity were, for a short time, his native town, for the greater part of his life, the metropolis Jerusalem, and, for a time after the fall of Jerusalem, Masphath (Jeremiah 40:6) and the Jewish colonies of the Dispersion in Egypt (Jeremiah 43:6 ff.).  "LOFTY IS JAHWEH" His ...

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 1st of May WELCOME! SAINT JOSEPH THE WORKER On May 1, 1955, Pope Pius XII instituted the feast of Saint Joseph the Worker – a day dedicated to the dignity of labour and honouring workers throughout the countries of the world. This liturgical feast serves as an incentive to all those involved in the enterprise of labour to devote themselves to the realisation of a social order in keeping with the Gospel. PRAYER: O God, Creator of all things, who laid down for the human race the law of work, graciously grant that by the example of Saint Joseph and under his patronage we may complete the works you set us to do and attain the rewards you promise. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
