"Work is not just another object, but rather the expression and condition of spiritual and social development of man. When we forget about this primary relationship of work with man's dignity, it loses its cultural richness and moral value."

--Archbishop Jose Maria Arancedo, Reflections on Feast of St. Joseph the Worker , 5.1.08
