The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers
Work is an expression of our human dignity. It is more than a way to make a living; it is a form of continuing
participation in God’s creation. The economy must serve people, not the other way around Trust in God.
“Before man can do anything, he must draw breath, he must move. Movement is the source and condition of life. To
dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the
taking”
God Bless you!
