ESTIMATED (AS):
share with you, Father Hurtado written, related to human work:
With more depth and richness that communism, the Church has managed to create an authentic mystical work, working groups of Catholic Action. Movements such as the JOC and the LOC have not only reconciled to the worker to his fate, but you have inspired love for his work, proud of his working life, the joy of sacrifice for others and a great apostolic influence.
These groups of fighters workers have come to understand that there can be no division between religious life and professional life. Work is not a task to be supported for a few painful hours, the less possible to escape after their spiritual and cultural life. No, the work is for them his greatness, his life. In their daily work are sanctified and are aware that through him they are building the earthly city, and working with God's plan of redemption supernatural.
The eternal destiny of man is in harmony with their temporary assignment. "My machine works with me, I must master it, admire it, love it, love it because it leads me to God every time I serve cristianamente de ella”. “El fin de la producción es procurar a cada hombre hierro, lana, carbón, pero sobre todo procurar a cada uno de los trabajadores su parte de cielo…” “Amar mi máquina; entre ambos vamos fabricando la vida eterna”. Así meditan cada día miles de jóvenes obreros católicos.
El trabajador que comprende así la vida no es un proletario amargado que odia al que posee más que él y procura escapar de su clase social. Es un luchador que exige respeto para su persona, pues, tiene conciencia de lo que significa ser hombre e hijo de Dios; batalla por conseguir, en unión de los otros trabajadores, las condiciones for a respectable life, knowing that it must in justice as a reward for an effort that he performs with honesty, devotion, joy and spirit of social service.
there in the YCW movement a boost of faith, heroism, a requirement of holiness that carries the time of the early Church. When this doctrine turns on the worker's soul, that man is a saint and a martyr if necessary, as saints and martyrs has led to thousands of young workers, especially in France and Belgium, starting with its first president, Fernando Thonet died in the Dachau concentration camp, singing and giving his life for the working class.
The worker also understands that he is called as an apostle of Christ, the one responsible for the salvation of the working class, a participant of the true royal priesthood of Jesus, mankind's supreme pontiff.
Obrero, Christ needs you!, Is the word that resonates in your soul every day he invited the Apostle. Arriving at the factory reads the sign is placed there: "No entry to anyone who is not working." This encourages him: the priest, the university may not enter, but he is there to penetrate to Christ at the factory, and with it come to justice, charity, joy.
The dignity of the worker is the subject required of all large concentrations YCW. Remember what happened in one of them on July 17, 1937 at the Parc des Princes, Paris, the most important of our troubled century. 80,000 young workers had come to express their concept of Christian work. In the middle of the park a rude wooden altar. To him countless processions with their working tools such as the arms flow of a river, representing various corporations. Everyone wanted to build a new Christian city whose builder is Christ.
The parades will go ahead and build the altar. Suddenly, from one end of the stadium ahead of a group of workers. Escort countless torches carried a huge white cross on a bed of red roses. Is the cross of Altar Boys workers say, a symbol of all the sufferings of the working class. They just make them, the carpenters.
the speaker's voice, trembles the heart of the crowd: "Who is that workers who step up to like us, which is associated with our work ... that is not in any province, but all workers who the world proclaim their boss? ... It's Him, eighty thousand voices burst forth. It's Him! And a glorious peal of bells filled the air and ... "we children of the nineteenth century, bitter and pessimistic, says Muriac, we could not keep the tears at the sight of these young workers, optimistic in their martyrdom, hardened by work, and transfigured by faith ... "Here in the heart of Paris, in the light of the starry night, YCW workers erect the huge cross, a sign of his release in whose shade offered along with the Sacred Host workers their lives, their loves, their hopes for a better future.
But someone is missing here, cry out from the other point of the stadium forty thousand female voices, a peal of bells of Easter. No! She can not lack. And the workers, a song most sweet tears the night in Paris. "Workers' blessed among women, a nurse in every soul, star of all the tomorrows of our life's work. Virgin Mary! "
We YCW! Sing the hope of a better future. A new world of pain arises from within, we bring the message of love, peace, light. Let us march, friends, united in action, bringing the working world, peace, redemption.
next day at Mass, celebrated by a priest YCW, mercy, Lord! cry esas ochenta mil voces a la faz del mundo, porque el gran pecado del mundo moderno fue no haber querido a un Cristo social. Nosotros queremos abolir ese pecado.
¡Hijos del milagro!, les dijo entre sollozos, el gran Arzobispo de París, el Cardenal Verdier: “Jocistas, hijos del milagro os bendecimos… Han pasado sólo diez años. Ayer erais cuatro. Hoy sois quinientos mil los jóvenes obreros que ostentáis la espiga jocista en vuestros pechos… Jamás desde la Cruzada un impulso cristiano ha suscitado tanto entusiasmo en tantos corazones…Adelante, a conquistar el mundo”
Con decisión, con golpes de martillo on the anvil, brave those eighty thousand voices repeated, "We promise to bring to completion the spiritual revolution started ten years ago ... We promise to return Christ to the working class."
working Catholic Youth gives us a beautiful example of the Christian concept of the sanctification of everyday work life. Gap is the prosaic action of every day you find a safe path of holiness, for as stated Pemán: "No more eminent virtue to do just what we need to do."
