REFLECTION Most of the restaurants nowadays have signs in the restrooms that states, "Please wash your hands before leaving." Although the sign was more for sanitary and hygienic purpose, it has a socio-religious connotation for the Jewish religious traditions. There would have been no problem if it was treated as a hygien-ic law. But to measure the goodness of a person by his compli-ance with such laws is another matter. A person is not good because he observes the prevailing dress code, has certain eating habits, prefers a certain hairstyle or has parents of the right pedigree. It is something of which we too become easily guilty for we have judged people at times by such trivial matters.
The ceremonial washings in our religious practice flow from our belief that God whom we seek to encounter and approach is All Holy. Therefore we need to go to Him, clean and worthy. But often times we fail to remember that what God really values is our disposition in our hearts. We often focus on external details of worship, like the right words and actions, right doctrines and other points. And so we forget the more essential matter, with our whole mind, heart and will, the true glory of God. Our God looks at our loving heart, a thoughtful mind, a helping hand and an unselfish motives.

Labor Day Statement 2018.
Just Wages and Human
Flourishing
Most Reverend Frank J. Dewane
Bishop of Venice, Chairman of the
Committee on Domestic Justice and
Human Development
The plight of our brothers and sisters who
work hard but struggle to make ends
meet calls us all to reflect in a special way
this Labor Day. Today, we read in St.
Luke's Gospel how Jesus, upon returning
home to Nazareth, read from the prophet
Isaiah in the synagogue declaring, "The
Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he
has anointed me to bring glad tidings to
the poor."1 Sadly, in our times too many
people are excluded, marginalized, and
politically and economically disenfran-
chised. The struggle of working people, of
the poor, as Pope Francis reminds us, is
not first a "social or political question. No!
It is the Gospel, pure and simple."2 There
has been some notable progress in our
economy in recent years, but it is also
apparent that it is not where it should be
for many, and we can all play a productive
role in making sure it is a system that
upholds the dignity of all people.
As Christians, we believe that conflict or enmity between the rich and the poor is not necessary or inevitable. These divisions are in fact sinful. But we live in the hope that our society can become ever more just when there is conversion of heart and mind so that people recog-nize the inherent dignity of all and work together for the common good. This La-bor Day, let us all commit ourselves to personal conversion of heart and mind and stand in solidarity with workers by advocating for just wages, and in so doing, "bring glad tidings to the poor."
