Tomorrow, we will join with our fellow Americans in celebrating Labor Day. Many will have the day off. We should take some time to pause and reflect on the dignity of all work.
Today, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Transfiguration of the Lord. This is unusual because it is celebrated on a Sunday only when August 6 falls on a Sunday. Nevertheless, we hear of this great manifestation each year in the gospel of the Second Sunday of Lent.
