Catholic Worker: Meditations on Rerum Novarum
Do you have the right spirit of labor?
Catholic Worker features 60 short meditations on the meaning and sanctification of work. Each meditation includes passages from the Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and papal teaching. Catholic Worker relies heavily on Pope Leo's pivotal encyclical letter, Rerum Novarum. Selected passages from the encyclical are presented in an easy-to-digest format, providing guidance and inspiration for anyone who labors for his daily bread. Throughout this concise book, the author directs the reader to find Christ in the workplace: not only to attain sanctity, but to sanctify colleagues as well.

"...Every one should put his hand to the work which falls to his share, and that at once and straightway, lest the evil which is already so great become through delay absolutely beyond remedy. ..." --Pope Leo XIII, Rerum Novarum, May 15, 1891

"...By enduring the hardship of work in union with Jesus, the carpenter of Nazareth and the one crucified on Calvary, man collaborates in a certain fashion with the Son of God in his redemptive work. He shows himself to be a disciple of Christ by carrying the cross, daily, in the work he is called to accomplish. Work can be a means of sanctification and a way of animating earthly realities with the Spirit of Christ." --Catechism of the Catholic Church, Reference #2427
