If my kid couldn’t draw I’d make sure that my kitchen magnets didn’t work.
There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in – that we do it to God, to Christ, and that’s why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.
The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.
Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
Everyone enjoys doing the kind of work for which he is best suited.
Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind and enjoyment and happiness which come only to the man who has found the work that he likes best.
Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.
If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.
