Presentation by Fr Adolfo Bueno of the Prelature of Opus Dei at a July 7 workshop on ‘Vocation of the Business Leader: A Reflection’, a practical handbook for Catholic businessmen and women published by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace. Venue was the Assumption Parish Centre, Maraval.

Scripture is full of references to work, even when least expected. Admittedly, the parable of the Prodigal Son deals with repentance and God’s mercy but we also read: “How many hired men in my Father´s house have bread in abundance.”

Gospel Mk 6:1-6

Jesus departed from there and came to his native place, accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished. They said, “Where did this man get all this? What kind of wisdom has been given him? What mighty deeds are wrought by his hands! Is he not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?”

“As values have become relative and rights more important than duties, the goal of serving the common good is often lost.” (Cardinal Turkson)

On Wednesday, June 27, I delivered the feature address at Our Lady of Fatima, Curepe, on the theme Rights and Responsibilities. The Church has always sought to educate the faithful/the world about these issues e.g. Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical: Rerum Novarum (1891) focused on the Rights and Duties of Capital and Labour.

Gospel Mk 5:21-43

When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around him, and he stayed close to the sea. One of the synagogue officials, named Jairus, came forward.
Seeing him he fell at his feet and pleaded earnestly with him, saying, “My daughter is at the point of death. Please, come lay your hands on her that she may get well and live.” He went off with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed upon him.
