Today is International Workers’ Day and the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker. Do you think about the spiritual dimension of your work?
All the things we believe in as Catholics — the Golden Rule, imitating Jesus, living with virtue — apply in our workplaces just as much as in our homes, family lives, and churches.
If you’d like your faith to guide and inspire your professional life, as many of us do, here are three ways you might bring your faith into the workplace. Following in the footsteps of St. Joseph the Worker, we can join with the many saints and holy people whose examples teach us to value and honor our daily work:
Offer up your daily work.
Pray about your work.
Live with virtue.
Prayer and thought will help us sanctify our work. Living our faith at work honors Jesus, St. Joseph, and all those whose lives were a witness to the dignity of work… and it makes us great workers and co-workers too!
