Today is April 30th; tomorrow is May 1st, that is celebrated as Joseph, the Worker's Day as an optional memorial by Catholic Church since 1955. In my childhood, we enjoyed St. Joseph's feast in March only. Why on May 1st is that to be celebrated? I'm not familiar enough to understand the theology behind that additional memorial day. Therefore, I would behave as usual before the divine office in the Eastertide rite.


According to the catechism, Church is an eternal pilgrimage on the ground that is to be destined to travel with the Almighty until the Day of Days. She travels and changes as time passes gradually. But, nothing has been altered on the heavens under the foot of God. We are familiar with experience that it is often right to "keep things as usual in the classroom".


Should we retreat into a bid former position in the changing world?
