The very first chapter of the Book of Genesis, is also in a
sense the first gospel of work. For it shows what the dignity of work
consists of: it teaches that man ought to imitate God, his creator, in
working because man alone has the unique characteristic of likeness of God.
Man ought to imitate God both in working and also in resting, since God
Himself wished to present His own creative activity under the form of work
and rest. John Paul II
Opportunity is missed by most
people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. –

Man, created in the image of God, shares by his work
in the activity of the Creator and that, within the limits of his own human

resources and values contained in the whole of creation. John Paul II
Laborem Exercens
Service, on the other hand, is an experience of mystery, surrender, and
awe. ...A server knows that he or she is being used and has a willingness
to be used in the service of something greater, something essentially
unknown....From the perspective of service, we are all connected: All
suffering is like my suffering and all joy is like my joy. The impulse to
serve emerges naturally and inevitably from this way of seeing. (Quoted
from Rachel Remen, M.D., author of Kitchen Table Wisdom - in the book Take
this Job and Love it by Matthew Gilbert)
If a man has any
greatness in him, it comes to light, not in one flamboyant hour, but in the
ledger of his daily work.

die young. Larry Geibart.
