WORK ***** "is also good as being something worthy, that is to say, something that corresponds to man's dignity, that expresses this dignity and increases it." Blessed John II . When you're tempted to join the army of panhandlers and welfare slobs here, remember those words; it's detracting from your dignity. Note too, that diligent work is a DAILY REQUIREMENT of life in every monastery. Why do you supppose that is?
