A man from Mayo speaks about his devotion to St Joseph and how he feels God's presence as he does his work. He then talks about creation (God's work) and how we are made in His image. (This is what sanctifies work as it makes us resemble our Creator and further shows us why we should have a day of rest as He did.) A simplified version of the encyclical Rerum Novarum. Meanwhile the music has the rhythm of manual labour to it with the tempo of someone using a hammer while many rusty instruments play intertwining melodies.
Instruments: Bouzouki, Fiddle, Accordion, Irish Flute, Tin Whistle, Low Whistle, Russian Harp, Banjo and Church Organ.
