Reflection 168                                Resolution                          Previous reflections

 Based on the Vatican 2 document 
"Gaudium et Spes" (Church in the world)  67

Two main ideas from this article:

- everyone has a right to a decent job, and a decent salary
- work can be a prayer, offered to the Father with Jesus who was a carpenter

May workers remember to say a little prayer like this at the start of each day:

Heavenly Father,  I remember Jesus working as a carpenter,
and I offer my work with Jesus as a prayer for the world

People who pray before/during work
are more peaceful....and do a better job...
and are drawing a second salary, a heavenly salary,  to help other people!
