Our lives have been characterized by a duality, a schism between our working and religious lives. They are divorced and entirely separate in many people. Some people will work lazily in their jobs, but work hard in volunteer work at the church. Or somebody who just got out of church will curse fellow drivers on the way out of church yard...
Or somebody who recites well passages of the Bible will see nothing wrong with stealing time from his employer. I worked with a Pastor who stole P200,000 form us, or a religious fanatic who swindled us with false loan application aside from being a suspect in theft of lap tops. How could that be.?
Our advice is to offer our work as a prayer. To live one life of a worker and a religious. To make this life integrated. Our religious life, the ritual life should not be confined to the church but lived in the lay life as well. The taking of the Eucharist is a reminder that Jesus Christ should live in us and his words must be lived to benefit fellow Christians.
What we do should be for the greater glory of God. Ad Majorem Dei Gloria. We offer our lives to Him, the joys and the pain, things in the past, and things yet unseen. Our plans and aspirations we offer to the Lord. Thus we cant produce jobs that are late and lousy
