A single individual is enough for hope to exist, and that individual can be you, says His Holiness Pope Francis in this searing TED Talk delivered directly from Vatican City. In a hopeful message to people of all faiths, to those who have power as well as those who don't, the spiritual leader provides illuminating commentary on the world as we currently find it and calls for equality, solidarity and tenderness to prevail. "Let us help each other, all together, to remember that the 'other' is not a statistic, or a number," he says. "We all need each other."

Ir-relazzjoni speċjali ta’ San Ġużepp mal-ħaddiema mhix xi ħaġa ġdida. Kienet ilha tinstama’ fid-dokumenti uffiċjali tal-Knisja.
Fl-1899, il-Papa Ljun XIII, kien talab lill-ħaddiema jżommu ’l San Ġużepp bħala protettur u l-Mudell tagħhom. Hu xtaqhom ifitxu li jtejbu mhux biss l-affarijiet materjali iżda wkoll dawk spiritwali. Fl-1891, l-istess Papa kiteb il-famuża Enċiklika ”Rerum Novarum”, li fiha ddefenda bil-qawwa d-dinjita’, in-nobbilta’ u d-drittijiet tal-ħaddiem. Fi żmienu, is-soċjeta’ kienet maqsuma bl-ikraħ fi tnejn: il-klassi ta’ l-għonja li għalkemm żgħira fin-numru kienet kbira fil-privileġġi u qawwija fis-setgħa; u l-klassi tal-ħaddiema, li kienet tassew kbira fil-għadd, iżda bla qawwa, magħkusa u maħqura. Il-Papa wera kif il-ħaddiema seta’ jkollhom id-drittijiet tagħhom, bla ma l-oħrajn jitilfu drittijiethom.
Il-Papa Benedittu XV, kien poġġa quddiem il-ħaddiema ‘l San Ġużepp biex ikun għalihom ta’ gwida, ta’ eżempju, u biex jonorawh bħala l-Patrun tagħhom fis-sema.
Il-Papa Piju XI, fil-”Quadragesimo Anno”, fisser kif il-problemi soċjali m’għandhomx jiġu maħlula b’ideoloġija li tbiegħed minn Alla, iżda b’mod ibbażat fuq il-prinċipji nsara. L-ordni ekonomika u l-ordni soċjali m’għandhomx jiġu mifruda mill-ordni morali, u għalhekk il-Knisja għanda mhux biss id-dritt imma wkoll id-dmir li titkellem. Niftakru li fi żmien dan il-Papa, ilKomuniżmu Ateu kien daħal sew fl-Ewropa. Għalhekk il-Papa għażel lill-Ħaddiem ta’ Nażżaret, il-Mastrudaxxa Ġużeppi, bħala l-patrun tal-ħaddiema.
Imbagħad, il-Papa Piju XII, fl-ewwel ta’ Mejju 1955, f’udjenza pubblika fil-pjazza tal-Vatikan, li kienet fgata bil-ħaddiema, fosthom ta’ l-Assoċjazzjoni Kattolika tal-Ħaddiema Taljani, iddikjara l-1 ta’ Mejju bħala l-festa ta’ San Ġużepp Ħaddiem, biex isaħħaħ ir-relazzjoni li kienet teżisti bejn San Ġużepp u l-ħaddiema, u biex juri wkoll l-interess kbir li l-Knisja tieħu fil-ħaddiema tad-dinja kollha, u li fiha għandhom isibu Ragħaj, Difensur u Missier. Il-ħaddiema laqgħu dan b’ferħ, b’entużjażmu u b’ċapċip kbir.
San Ġużepp ġie magħżul biex ikun il-Patrun tal-Ħaddiema, mhux biss għaxz kien jaqla’ l-ħobża ta’ kuljum bix-xogħol ta’ idejh u bl-għaraq ta’ xbinu, iżda wkoll għax fl-istess waqt kellu jieħu ħsieb, u jmantni lil Ġesừ u l-Madonna. Il-ħaddiem ghandu jimita lil San Ġużepp, mhux biss li jaħdem bl-onesta’, iżda wkoll li jrabbi l-familja tiegħu skond il-qalb t’Alla, u jieħu x-xogħol bħala mezz ta’ salvazzjoni.
Ħsieb Agħmel mill-aħjar biex iġġib ruħek quddiem Alla, bħala bniedem li għadda mill-prova, bħala ħaddiem li m’għandux mniex jistħi, li jxandar bir-reqqa l-kelma tal-verita’.
May 01 - Homily: St. Joseph, Model Cooperator in God's Creation
The Dignity and Importance of Work (5/1/17)
Catholic Prayers: Prayer to Saint Joseph by Pope Pius X
O Glorious St. Joseph, model of all who are devoted to labour, obtain for me the grace to work in the spirit of penance in expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously by placing love of duty above my inclinations; to gratefully and joyously deem it an honour to employ and to develop by labour the gifts I have received from God, to work methodically, peacefully, and in moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from it through weariness or difficulty to work; above all, with purity of intention and unselfishness, having unceasingly before my eyes death and the account I have to render time lost, talents unused, good not done, and vain complacency in success, so baneful to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all to imitate thee, O Patriarch St. Joseph! This shall be my motto for life and eternity. Amen.
O glorjuż San Ġużepp, xempju ta’ dawk kollha li jgħaddu ħajjithom fix-xogħol, aqlagħli l-grazzja li naħdem skond il-kuxjenza billi nippriferixxi dmirijieti għall-gosti tiegħi; li bil-ferħ u bi gratitudni nistmah bħala unur li nuża d-doni li tani Alla u nipperfezzjonahom bix-xogħol tiegħi; li naħdem b’metodu, fil-paċi, bil-moderazzjoni u bil-paċenzja, mingħajr qatt ma niskarta x-xogħol minħabba l-għejja jew id-diffikultajiet; fuq kollox li naħdem b’intenzjoni retta u b’diżinteress, billi nġib kontinwament quddiem għajnejja l-mewt u l-kont li rrid nagħti taż-żmien mitluf, tad-doni li ma ħaddimtx u tal-ġid li stajt nagħmel u m’għamiltx, kif ukoll ta’ kull vanaglorja li nieħu meta nirnexxi, li ġġib tant ħsara fix-xogħol magħmul għal Alla. Ammen.

Heaven.

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary
Most holy Virgin Immaculate, my Mother Mary, to thee who art the Mother of my Lord, the queen of the universe, the advocate, the hope, the refuge of sinners, I who am the most miserable of all sinners, have recourse this day.
I venerate thee, great queen, and I thank thee for the many graces thou has bestowed upon me even unto this day; in particular for having delivered me from the hell which I have so often deserved by my sins. I love thee, most dear Lady; and for the love I bear thee, I promise to serve thee willingly forever and to do what I can to make thee loved by others also.
I place in thee all my hopes for salvation; accept me as thy servant and shelter me under thy mantle, thou who art the Mother of mercy. And since thou art so powerful with God, deliver me from all temptations, or at least obtain for me the strength to overcome them until death. From thee I implore a true love for Jesus Christ.
Through thee I hope to die a holy death. My dear Mother, by the love thou bearest to Almighty God, I pray thee to assist me always, but most of all at the last moment of my life. Forsake me not then, until thou shalt see me safe in heaven, there to bless thee and sing of thy mercies through all eternity. Such is my hope.
