Here are some basic interconnected points from the homily of this past Labor Day Mass: As members of one world, each of us, therefore, has the responsibility to better that world. Labor union is a good example of solidarity in the workplace to build a better world, a better economy in which the dignity of workers is respected and decent wages and benefits are paid. As we endeavor to build a better external world, we need to look inside ourselves to change as necessary to create a better heart and spirit within us so that goodness might flow from our interior lives.
