Fr. Peter Armenio joins Patrick to discuss Sanctifying Work
- What is the importance of work?
- (8:41) why is there dignity in work?
(21:00) Break 1
- (22:12) Nick - I think of Social Teaching and the rights and dignity of workers. In the precepts, we're told to support the church financially. In retirement, give your calendar to the Lord and he'll fill it in for you. When we retire, our greatest work is thinking of God more and he fills it in for us.
- Mary Lou - Thanks for the reminder that my work is sacred. I'm a hairdresser. Reminded me of a project I have coming up and how meaningless and tedious it seems compared to my spiritual life, but this woman likes to talk about the Lord. She's not Catholic, but it might be a way to talk about Jesus to her.
- (30:37) Email from Mary – Can you cut corners if you have to in order to get your work done?
- What does it mean to sanctify our work?
(40:40) Break 2
- (45:05) Charles - I'm a retired crime scene investigator. Witnessed many murders. Throughout my career, I realized maybe nobody was praying for this person before they died. At some point, I started praying as I responded to the crime scene. Wanted to share that if there are other officers listening.
