I hope that all of you had a restful Labor Day (those who were able to take a break from your labors) and are happy to be back at work today. For some, I know, the idea of work and happiness are diametrically opposed, and many would prefer that every day was a day off.

As fun as that would be at first, I’m not so sure many of us would last long before we grew entirely restless. As strange as it sounds, work is actually a good thing that we need. In this week’s video, I discuss the Catholic view of work and why it is so important to our human existence.
