St. Joseph teaches us to use work as an instrument of redemption, expiation and sanctification. Work is the body's prayer. It puts our whole self at the service of God (Calendario Paolino, May 1).

From Father Tom: And so the lack of work, such a painful feature of our time, is more harmful than we know. The older saying is still relevant: "The devil always finds work for idle hands to do."
