The Mystery of Work
Reflections by Saints, Popes, Mystics, Seculars
on Our Lord's words
"Without Me you can do nothing" (John 15:5)
A book for those seeking to connect God to their work and vice versa.
Gems from the treasure troves of the Church reflecting on how Our Lord
is involved in our ordinary workaday lives. Listen to one of these voices:
"I have never heard Him speak, but I know that He is within me. He guides and inspires me very moment of the day. Just when I need it, a new light shines on my problems. This happens not so much during my hours of prayer as when I'm busy with my daily work." --St. Therese of Lisieux
The Trappist Monk and Retreat Master, Fr. Raphael Simon, OCSO, MD, author of Hammer and Fire, called this book "enlightening" and urged its use in spiritual formation.
THIS IS TRUELY A BOOK OF SPIRITUAL GEMS. As you enter the mind of these saints, popes, mystics, you begin to discern how work, the ordinary things we do in our workaday lives, can connect us to God. How work itself, properly understood and properly done, can become a prayer. The Benedictine monks said as much in their motto: laborare est orare (to work is to pray). This collection of short reflections tells us that ordinary folk doing ordinary things can transform and elevate the meaning of work when that work is done in a spirit of recollection, i.e., in a way that unites us with God as we work.
Quoted from Wikipedia: “Pantocrator is a compound word formed from the Greek for ‘all’ and the verb meaning ‘To accomplish something’ or ‘to sustain something’ (κρατεω). This translation speaks more to God's actual power; i.e., God does everything (as opposed to God can do everything).” .
