History of Labor Day Observed the first Monday in September, Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being. Early Adopters Before it was a federal holiday, Labor Day was recognized by labor activists and individual states. After mu-nicipal ordinances were passed in 1885 and 1886, a movement developed to secure state legislation. New York was the first state to introduce a bill, but Oregon was the first to pass a law recognizing Labor Day, on February 21, 1887. During 1887, four more states – Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York – passed laws creating a Labor Day holiday. By the end of the decade Connecticut, Nebraska and Pennsylvania had followed suit. By 1894, 23 more states had adopted the holiday, and on June 28, 1894, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday. McGuire v. Maguire: Who Founded Labor Day? Who first proposed the holiday for workers? It’s not entirely clear, but two workers can make a solid claim to the Founder of Labor Day title. Some records show that in 1882, Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, suggested setting aside a day for a "general holiday for the laboring classes" to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the gran-deur we behold." But Peter McGuire's place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that machinist Mat-thew Maguire, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday. Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, New Jersey, proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. According to the New Jersey Historical Society, after President Cleveland signed the law creating a national Labor Day, the Paterson Morning Call published an opinion piece stating that "the souvenir pen should go to Alderman Matthew Maguire of this city, who is the undisputed author of Labor Day as a holiday." Both Maguire and McGuire attended the country’s first Labor Day parade in New York City that year. The First Labor Day The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883. By 1894, 23 more states had adopted the holiday, and on June 28, 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed a law making the first Monday in September of each year a national holiday. A Nationwide Holiday Many Americans celebrate Labor Day with parades, picnics and parties – festivities very similar to those out-lined by the first proposal for a holiday, which suggested that the day should be observed with – a street pa-rade to exhibit "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations" of the community, fol-lowed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families. This became the pat-tern for the celebrations of Labor Day. Speeches by prominent men and women were introduced later, as more emphasis was placed upon the eco-nomic and civic significance of the holiday. Still later, by a resolution of the American Federation of Labor convention of 1909, the Sunday preceding Labor Day was adopted as Labor Sunday and dedicated to the spir-itual and educational aspects of the labor movement. American labor has raised the nation’s standard of living and contributed to the greatest production the world has ever known and the labor movement has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pays tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation's strength, freedom, and leadership – the American worker.



Bishop Olmsted of Phoenix Addresses Vaccination, Supports Conscience Exemptions Through Employers

Joe Bukuras/CAN August 30, 2021 PHOENIX, Az. — Bishop Thomas Olmsted of the Diocese of Phoenix said on Friday that he encourages the faithful to prayerfully consider getting the COVID-19 vaccine, but assured those who have chosen not to receive the vaccine that they can do so in good conscience. “As Bishop of a diverse flock, I continue to encourage the prayerful consideration that each individual must make in re-gard to receiving the vaccine. For those who have discerned to receive one, they can be assured that they can do so in good conscience. For those who have discerned not to receive one, they too can do so in good conscience,” Bishop Olmsted wrote in an Aug. 27 press release. Bishop Olmsted referred to vaccination guidance he issued in December of last year where he affirmed that receiving the vaccine is morally acceptable. “This message is consistent with guidance given by the Holy See and the United States Conference of Catholic Bish-ops,” he wrote. Bishop Olmsted also reminded Church leaders that “it is not for us to make medical decisions for others but rather to support the right of faithful Catholics to come to a personal decision with the help of a well-formed conscience.” Bishop Olmsted acknowledged that there have been many who have asked their pastors to grant them exemptions, but noted that “it is employers who grant exemptions, not pastors.” He explained that the Church’s responsibility is to assist in forming conscience “and supporting the decision made by a conscience well formed.” “Employers and other institutions may require vaccination,” he said, “but we support them reviewing and extending ex-emptions for personal religious reasons of conscience.” The bishop encouraged priests, deacons and lay leaders to offer pastoral guidance to parishioners in order to help them form a well informed conscience by using “solid resources,” naming those offered by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), the National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC), and the CCC. Bishop Olmsted said that following teachings of the Church is “primary” to forming conscience. He cited the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) 1778 which states: “In all he says and does, man is obliged to fol-low faithfully what he knows to be just and right. It is by the judgment of his conscience that man perceives and recog-nizes the prescriptions of the divine law: ‘Conscience is a law of the mind; yet [Christians] would not grant that it is nothing more; . . . [Conscience] is a messenger of him, who, both in nature and in grace, speaks to us behind a veil, and teaches and rules us by his representatives. Conscience is the aboriginal Vicar of Christ.’” The bishop said in the letter that Catholics will come to different conclusions on vaccination “each considering his or her own conscience.” All three COVID-19 vaccines approved for use in the United States have a remote connection to cell lines derived from babies aborted decades ago. The vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna were tested on the controversial cell lines, while the Johnson & Johnson vaccine used the cell lines both in production and testing. Both the Vatican and the U.S. bishops‘ conference have said that reception of the vaccines is morally permissible when recipients have no other ethical option due to the gravity of the pandemic. Pope Francis has encouraged COVID-19 vac-cination, calling it an “act of love.” In December 2020, the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued a note stating that reception of the vaccines is morally permissible but “must be voluntary”; the note recognized “reasons of conscience” for refusing vaccines. Bishops across the country have issued guidance for Catholics seeking conscience exemptions to COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Some bishops, including the bishops of South Dakota, have supported Catholics who wish to seek conscience exemp-tions. Bishops in California, as well as in Chicago and Philadelphia, have instructed clergy not to assist parishioners seeking religious exemptions to mandates. In an Aug. 17 statement, the NCBC noted “with great sadness the increasing-ly heated rhetoric and even violence associated with the vaccine mandate debates.” The center stated that “The Church encourages people to receive vaccination for COVID-19, even though the currently available vaccines in the U.S. have a remote connection to abortion through the use of certain cell lines.” “Discernment with consciences informed by Church teaching is required, as well as all the elements of free and in-formed consent needed for any medical intervention,” the center affirmed. On March 30, in an analysis of the morality of COVID-19 vaccination, the center said that “people must carefully dis-cern in conscience whether or when to be immunized against COVID-19 and which vaccine to accept.” On July 7, the center issued a vaccine exemption template letter for Catholics “who have made a sure judg-ment in conscience to refuse a vaccine.”

“[Jesus] took him off by himself away from the crowd.” Today’s Gospel relates the healing of a man who is both deaf and mute. By healing him Jesus opens the man’s ears and mouth so that he might hear and proclaim the Good News. Before that can happen, however, Jesus and the man have a private meeting. Since Jesus is traveling in Gentile territory, it is likely the man who is healed is also a Gentile. In Jesus’ day it was inconceivable for a Jew to talk to, let alone touch, a non-Jew, yet Jesus does this. He goes further. Jesus draws the man away from the crowd. This isn’t a case of Jesus hiding what he is about to do for fear of what his fellow Jews might think of him. Instead Jesus places all the man’s needs to the forefront in order to minister to him in a personal way. If they had stayed with the crowd, the sensational healing would have been seen, but the subtly nuanced essential connection might have been missed.

What is essential here? Is it that the man is physically healed, or is it the message that God in Jesus yearns to heal the man’s most profound wounds in a personal way? Hearing and proclaiming the Good News is not possible without this kind of personal encounter with the Lord. By extension we also are invited to the same. We pray with Scripture because of the way Jesus draws us apart from the crowd, from the hustle and bustle of our overloaded lives. In many Gospel accounts we read how Je-sus pulls a person away from the crowd. Does that not point to the sacredness of being alone with God? Will all our problems go away, will we be immediately healed of physical infirmities because of our private moments with Jesus? Perhaps not. But the authentic encounter with God results in his grace being poured out in us, thus enabling us to hear and proclaim the Good News.

Ask the Lord to show you how to live this intimacy. Ask for the grace not to walk away from it. Too often we push Him to the side of all our daily activities. Often we don’t make time for Jesus, but somehow we manage to make time for ourselves. The healing we seek is not the healing of ears and tongue, although we may need those as well. We need healing on a deeper, more intimate level. Go aside with the Lord—for healing, that you might be more like Him.

Words on the Word September 5, 2021 – A Fine Line

Jesus does a couple very interes#ng things in today’s gospel – one miraculous, the other noteworthy. First, he heals the deaf man with a speech impediment, just as he heals countless others throughout the gospel

narra#ves. Then, he gives those nearby who witnessed the miracle a direc#ve: “He ordered them not to tell anyone,” St. Mark writes. “But the more he ordered them not to, the more they pro-

claimed it. They were exceedingly astonished, and they said, ‘He has done all things well. He makes the deaf here and the mute speak.’”

One might have been reminded of that gospel passage, coincidentally, a few weeks ago, when a #ghtrope – yes, a #ghtrope – made local headlines. A casino in West Michigan commemorated the opening of a second, 8-story hotel tower by bringing in a well-known #ghtrope walker to put on a show at the grand opening ceremony. The daredevil walked across a 450-foot-long #ghtrope that was suspended eight stories above the ground.

A precarious display, to be sure. Our spiritual lives might similarly offer situa#ons in which we find ourselves walking a proverbial #ghtrope. Consid-

er a circumstance, for example, in which a friend or family member might be considering making – or already has made – a morally compromised decision.

On the one hand, we might understandably be compelled to speak out, to offer direc#on, based in our faith, for what they should do.

On the other hand, we might also know their reflexive ac#on will be to resist or reject that direc#on, believing that such a perspec#ve is irrelevant to their circumstances.

Thus, the #ghtrope. The good news is that God is there, ready to help us speak and them hear, even if it might seem as if we’re opera#ng precariously, without a rope or a net. © 2021, Words on the Word
