Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, a pastor in Indian Land, South Carolina, shared thoughts about a passage from the Gospel of Matthew for Labor Day weekend, honoring those who toil for others.
Not much is known about St. Matthew, who is credited with writing the Gospel of Matthew, says Christian website Overviewbible.com. "The American worker offers sacrificial love and today merits our gratitude and esteem." Workers "labor to provide and care for their families." Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
When Matthew was called by Jesus to be one of his disciples, he was employed as a publican or tax collector — a "reviled profession" at the time.
