We ask you, urgently: don’t scroll past this

Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

Reflection: The Feast of Joseph the Worker and the ‘Gospel of Work’

Image of Though there is biblical support that the toil and drudgery or 'sweat' of work is connected to the fracture in the order of the universe which was occasioned by sin (see Gen 3:19) work itself is not the punishment for sin. Rather, for the Christian, work becomes a participation in the continuing redemptive work of Jesus. He was always doing the work of the One who sent Him (John 9:3-4) and we are invited by grace to do the same.

To come to a new understanding of the dignity of human labor requires what St Paul rightly called a 'renewal of the mind.' CHESAPEAKE, Va. ... continue reading
