This Mindwalkreflects on what some might call Pope Francis’ ‘Mayday signal’ for workers today. One of his recent weekly General Audiences triggered my juxtaposing workers today and mayday calls.

Like Joseph… we need courage to guard from the new Herods of our time, who devour the innocence of our children.

Joseph became much more real to me when, instead of starting with the image Joseph in scripture or art, I started with thinking of Joseph in terms of our experiences of the best of human fatherhood.
