On this week's episode, Bishop Burbidge:

• Reflects on the Labor Day holiday and reaffirms the importance and dignity of work 

• Acclaims the Golden Jubilee Celebration on September 5 as one of the happiest days of his priesthood
  

• • Relive the celebration: watch a historical documentary, a walking tour of the Cathedral, and the livestream of the Solemn Mass
    

• • Read Bishop’s September column in the Arlington Catholic Herald
    

• Welcomes all to make a pilgrimage to the Cathedral and behold its beauty; reminds us of a plenary indulgence opportunity when visiting, and its requirements
  

• Remembers Mary Stewart, longtime diocesan Director of Risk Management, and invites all to pray for the repose of her soul 
   

He also answers the following question from the faithful:  

• As Catholics, how do we balance being aware of what’s happening in our national politics, but not being consumed by it?
