Friends, as Pope St. John Paul II saw so clearly, there is a dignity and beauty to work. We express ourselves through our labor, and it conduces to the flourishing of both the individual and the society. On this week’s episode of the Word on Fire Show, we discuss the Catholic approach to work, leisure, and the relationship between the two.
