San Lucas (17, 11-19) presenta el episodio de los diez leprosos que fueron curados. Solo uno volvió a agradecer a Jesús su curación, y la reacción del Señor nos hace ver que le importa mucho nuestro agradecimiento… porque nos quiere. Valora nuestra gratitud, y la espera. San Benito de Nursia recomienda que ante cualquier circunstancia se diga Deo gratias!

Umbrische Landschaften erinnern an Ölgemälde mit gedeckten Brauntönen: Mittelalterliche Dörfer mit verwinkelten Kopfsteinpflastergassen thronen auf bewaldeten Bergrücken. Hinter dicken Stadtmauern aus ockerfarbenem Bruchstein finden bunte Gemüsemärkte statt. In den Sibillinischen Bergen ziehen Schäfer mit ihren Herden über sattgrüne Wiesen, aus dieser Gegend stammt auch das Lammfleisch, das die Italiener für herzhafte Eintöpfe verwenden. Das italienische Fremdenverkehrsamt nennt Umbrien „das grüne Herz“ Italiens. Bereits im Mittelalter galt diese Region als Kornkammer, auch heute bauen Landwirte viel Dinkel und Weizen an. Ähnlich wie in der mondäneren Toskana wechseln sich üppige Getreide- und Sonnenblumenfelder ab. Bis heute spürbar ist der Einfluss der Etrusker, die in Umbrien bereits in vorchristlichen Jahrhunderten Reben und Olivenbäume kultivierten. Zu Umbrien gehört kein Meer, dafür der viertgrößte See Italiens, der Lago di Trasimeno. Hier schlug Hannibal die römische Armee. Auch einige Prominente haben die Schönheit Umbriens entdeckt und sich Anwesen gekauft. Der „Star Wars“-Regisseur George Lucas richtete in einem früheren Kapuzinerkloster zehn Suiten ein. Der Sänger Ed Sheeran zieht sich gerne nach Paciano zurück, das zu den Borghi più belli, den schönsten Dörfern Italiens, zählt. Gleich zwei berühmte Ordensgründer kommen aus Umbrien. Benedikt von Nursia und Franziskus von Assisi. Auf den Spuren dieser Männer pilgern viele Reisende aus aller Welt von Dorf zu Dorf, um an den Schauplätzen zu sein, die im Leben der Männer eine Rolle spielten. Ein Höhepunkt ist die Basilika San Francesco in Assisi. Genau hier, am Grab des heiligen Franziskus, beginnt die Reise unserer Autorin Isa Hoffinger, die neben alten Villen und berühmten Kirchen das Festival Umbria Jazz besuchte.

El papa Benedicto explicó que eligió ese nombra para su pontificado en atención al patrono de Europa, san Benito de Nursia. Este gran santo insistía en no anteponer nada al amor de Cristo. Explorar esa invitación variando la preposición: nada se antepone al amor que Cristo me tiene a mí porque nada es más gozoso, y nada debe anteponerse al amor que yo le debo dar a Cristo.

Fr. Eric Nicolai preached this meditation in ernescliff College on July 11, 2025, the feast of Saint Benedict of Nursia. The Lord sent out the apostles, his ambassadors, he sent them out, telling them to heal, to resurrect the dead. That they should bring their peace upon the houses they visit. Your peace will fall upon them.

Marcus celebrates the life of St Benedict of Nursia and discusses how he built the west, and we look at St Augustine's Confessions with Dr. Shane Owens. We look ahead to the Sunday readings and the parable of the Good Samaritan with Rob Corzine, and discuss the Nicene Creed with Jared Staudt.

Jesus kann manchmal sehr radikal sein. So auch, als er sagte: „Wer Häuser oder Brüder oder Schwestern oder Vater oder Mutter oder Kinder oder Äcker verlässt um meines Namens willen, der wird's hundertfach empfangen und das ewige Leben ererben“ (Mt 19,29). Benedikt von Nursia hat das wörtlich genommen und wurde Mönch. Was machen wir? (13.7.2025)

"Whenever you begin any good work you should first of all make a most pressing appeal to Christ our Lord to bring it to perfection; that he, who has honored us by counting us among his children, may never be grieved by our evil deeds..." The post “Put Christ before everything”- St. Benedict of Nursia from the Office of Readings appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, July 11, is the feast of St. Benedict (480-547).Born in Nursia, Italy, amid the ashes of the Roman Empire, and educated in Rome, he lived as a hermit and later organized a form of monastic life in twelve small monasteries. Under his guidance, as abbot, the monks vowed to seek God and devoted themselves to work and prayer. A few years later, St. Benedict left Subiaco to found the abbey of Monte Cassino on the heights of Campania, Italy.As his reputation for holiness, wisdom, and miracles spread, disciples flocked. He organized the monks into a single monastic community and wrote his famous Rule, prescribing common sense, moderate asceticism, prayer, study, work, and community life under one superior. It stressed obedience, stability, and zeal. This rule would affect spiritual and monastic life in the West for centuries to come.Seeking first of all the kingdom of God, Benedict summarized in his Rule (IV, 21) his program of life: Nihil amori Christi praeponere. Prefer nothing to the love of Christ.Pope Benedict XVI called St. Benedict a powerful reminder of the indispensable Christian roots of its culture and civilization.”St. Benedict and his sister, St. Scholastica, are buried in Monte Cassino Abbey.We pray today's Rosary holding the Benedict Cross as a Medal.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Kapitelsmesse aus dem Kölner Dom am Fest des Heiligen Benedikt von Nursia, Vater des abendländischen Mönchtums, Schutzpatron Europas.  Zelebrant: Domkapitular Markus Hofmann.

Spendel, Sr. Aurelia www.deutschlandfunk.de, Morgenandacht

Ein junger Mann wird von seiner Familie, die ihm Großes zutraut, zum Studium nach Rom geschickt. Zunächst fühlt er sich dort gut, beginnt sein Studium und kommt gut voran. Aber dann merkt er immer mehr, dass das völlig sittenlose Leben in der Stadt ihn anwidert und er kaum noch Menschen findet, die mit ihm ein wirklich christliches Leben führen wollen. Zunächst geht er dann, sehr zum Leidwesen seiner Familie, für drei Jahre als Einsiedler in eine Höhle bei Subiaco. Sein damals erstaunlich konsequentes Leben zieht viele junge Leute an und er gründet zwölf kleine Klöster für sie. 529 siedelt er nach Monte Cassino um, dass schon bald zum Zentrum des Mönchtums und der religiösen Kultur wird. Dort schreibt er seine Klosterregel, in der er die beste monastische Überlieferung des Ostens und des Westens zusammenfasst. Vertrautheit mit der Heiligen Schrift und eine reiche geistliche Erfahrung verliehen ihm die Güte und Weisheit, die auch seine Regel auszeichnen. Da heißt es zum Beispiel: "Wenn wir Psalmen singen, dann soll unser Herz mit dem gesungenen Wort zusammenklingen." Also nicht der schöne Klang ist wichtig, wenn unser Herz weit davon weg ist, was wir singen oder beten. Oder: "Keiner soll nach dem eigenen Nutzen streben, vielmehr soll jeder auf das bedacht sein, was für den andern gut ist."  Das klingt also seit eineinhalb Jahrtausenden wie die Mahnung John F. Kennedys aus dem Anfang der 1960er Jahre: "Frag nicht, was der Staat für Dich tun kann, sondern was Du für den Staat tun kannst." Diese uralte Klosterregel ist so klug und weise, dass sie seit 1500 Jahren bestand hat und zehntausende von Mönchen und Nonnen nach ihr leben. Klugheit und Maß sind auch heute Wertmaßstäbe, die das Leben der Einzelnen aber auch der Gemeinschaften bestimmen kann. Und es hat nichts von seiner Aktualität verloren. Und weil dieser junge Mann, den man später Benedikt von Nursia nennen wird, in der Nachfolge Jesu zunächst aus der verheißungsvollen Stadt und der Universitätskarriere flieht und in für ihn richtigen christlichen Weise leben will, zieht er so viele Menschen in seinen Bann, dass er und seine Brüder den christlichen Glauben, die Kunst und Kultur Europas prägen und beeinflussen werden und er so von Pius XII. zum "Vater Europas", von Paul VI. zum "Schutzpatron Europas" erklärt wird. Das ist doch mal eine Karriere!

"And so we are going to establish a school for the service of the Lord. In founding it we hope to introduce nothing harsh or burdensome. But if a certain strictness results… do not be at once dismayed and fly from the way of salvation, whose entrance cannot but be narrow." In this first of five episodes, we begin The Rule of St. Benedict, a foundational spiritual guide composed around 530 AD by St. Benedict of Nursia, the father of Western monasticism. In the Prologue, St. Benedict sets forth the Rule's purpose, followed by Chapters 1–7, in which he outlines the kinds of monks, the qualities of an abbot, the Instruments of Good Works as a monk's daily guide, and the Rule's core principles of obedience, silence, and humility.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA MUJERES 2025“AMANECER CON JESÚS”Narrado por: Sirley DelgadilloDesde: Bucaramanga, ColombiaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================26 de MarzoEncadenado a Cristo«Y por mí, a fin de que al abrir mi boca me sea dada palabra para dar a conocer con denuedo el misterio del evangelio, por el cual soy embajador en cadenas, y con denuedo hable de él como debo hablar» (Efesios 6: 19-20).Benito de Nursia fue enviado a Roma, en compañía de su nodriza, para su formación profesional cuando solo tenía 12 años. No tardó en descubrir la depravación que se vivía en la ciudad y, a la edad de 20 años, decidió internarse en una cueva solitaria entre altas montañas al sur de Roma. Durante tres años estuvo en la cueva vistiendo una tosca y áspera túnica que usaban los ermitaños para mortificar la carne. Uno de sus amigos le bajaba a través de una cuerda un cesto con pan con el cual se alimentaba. Benito estaba seguro que de esa manera agradaba a Dios. Pero la gracia libertadora de Dios lo alcanzó y sus pensamientos fueron cambiados. Varios años después, un penitente se había encadenado a una cueva con el propósito de alcanzar la misericordia de Dios, por lo que Benito le envió un mensaje que decía: «El verdadero servidor de Dios no está encadenado a la roca con cadenas, sino a la virtud por Cristo». Benito había comprendido que ninguna piedad individual extravagante era mejor que una vida de servicio y entrega hacia el prójimo.En la antigüedad se acostumbraba encadenar a los presos de la mano derecha, con la mano izquierda de un soldado. Algunos presos podían vivir de esta manera fuera de la cárcel. Es posible que Pablo se refiera a este tipo de cadenas en el verso de hoy, o bien, que haya usado esta figura para hacer referencia a su incondicional forma de trabajar para Cristo. Cualquiera que haya sido el caso, tanto Pablo como Benito, habían comprendido que no hay mayor gozo que vivir encadenado a Cristo. Con frecuencia las personas construyen sus propias cadenas y se quedan estancados en la penumbra.La buena noticia es que no tenemos por qué vivir encadenadas al pasado por doloroso o errático que haya sido, ni al legalismo que frena nuestro crecimiento, ni siquiera debemos estar encadenadas a nuestro carácter si este está estorbando para que podamos hablar con autoridad del amor de Dios. Libérate de lo que estorba y encadénate a Cristo. Tu victoria es segura. 

Dr. Jenkins continues his investigation of Latin monasticism by at last turning to the man most responsible for its shape, St. Benedict of Nursia. You can find Dr. Jenkins course at https://tinyurl.com/LuxchristiByzantium

His name, Benedictus, means "Blessed" in Latin. He was born in 480 in Nursia, a small town northeast of Rome. He had only rudimentary schooling: he wrote later of his fear that through book-learning he might 'lose the great understanding of my soul.' At an early age he fled to a monastery where he was tonsured; he then withdrew to a remote mountain, where he lived or several years in a cave, perfecting himself in prayer. His only food was some bread brought to him by Romanus, the monk who had tonsured him. When he became known in the area, he fled his cave to escape the attentions of the pious; but flight proved useless, and in time a community of monks formed around him. He was granted many spiritual gifts: he healed the sick and drove out evil spirits, raised the dead, and appeared in visions to others many miles away.   Benedict founded twelve monasteries, most famously that at Monte Cassino. Initially, each monastic house had twelve monks, to imitate the number of the Twelve Apostles. The Rule that he established for his monks was based on the works of St John Cassian and St Basil the Great, and became a standard for western monasteries. Thus he is sometimes called the first teacher of monks in the West.   Six days before his death, the Saint ordered that his grave be opened, gathered all his monks together, gave them counsel, then gave his soul back to God on the day that he had predicted. At the moment of his death, two monks in different places had the same vision: they saw a path from earth to heaven, richly adorned and lined on either side with ranks of people. At the top of the path stood a man, clothed in light and unspeakably beautiful, who told them that the path was prepared for Benedict, the beloved of God. In this way, the monks learned that their abbot had gone to his rest.

Father Paul tells the story of a woman who was the founding abbess of Benedictine monasticism.

The origin of the virtue of soberness is attributed to the monastic tradition. The German term "nüchtern" (sober in English) is borrowed from the Latin "nocturnus" and describes the state of the monk at night (see Friedrich Kluge, etymological dictionary of the German language). So, to gain access to what "soberness" really means, Fr. Mauritius discusses what role the night plays for the monks and how they spend it. Saint Benedict of Nursia, the founder of the Benedictine order, has much to say. His observations can also help us to reflect on how we spend the night. The post HRS2 – Winding Down With God – The Holy Rule of St. Benedict with Fr. Mauritius Wilde OSB – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

He came from a noble Northumbrian family in Britain, and was tonsured a monk in 653 at Lerins in Gaul. In 669 he was made Abbot of the Monastery of Saints Peter and Paul in Canterbury. He traveled to Rome in 671 to be instructed in monastic practice according to the Rule of Saint Benedict (of Nursia). Returning to Northumbria he established two new monasteries, the first to follow St Benedict's Rule in the British Isles. He went to Rome once again in 678-679, this time bringing back the archcantor of St Peter's, who taught the monks of St Benedict's monasteries the chant and liturgical practices used in Rome.   Under the holy abbot's guidance, these monasteries became flourishing centers of Christian worship, scholarship and art. The Venerable Bede (May 26) was one of his disciples. Saint Benedict reposed in peace in 689 or 690, having greatly strengthened the Church and the Christian faith in Britain.

“If men knew the peace good Religious enjoy, the whole world would become a monastery.” (St. Scholastica of Nursia). The bond of siblings is undeniable, and the bond of twins is especially profound. St. Scholastica, the twin sister of St. Benedict, visited her brother often to discuss matters of faith and events of the world. Though he could not be present for her earthly death, God blessed him with a vision of her ascending to heaven. If you love your siblings well, or need to work on loving them more, this episode of the #BecomeFire Podcast is for you.

Join me, David Kaiser, as we uncover the life and enduring impact of Pope Benedict XVI. In this episode of Catholic Corner, we reflect on the legacy of Joseph Ratzinger, a towering intellect who navigated tumultuous times to leave an indelible mark on Christianity with his profound insights and commitment to peace, reconciliation, and the core Christian values that continue to influence Europe today. With a unique blend of admiration for historical figures like Benedict XV and St. Benedict of Nursia, his papal name symbolizes a commitment to peace and monastic values.Together, we journey through Benedict XVI's theological evolution, from his early years to his influential roles within the Church, all the way to his papacy. Special attention is given to his groundbreaking work, "Jesus of Nazareth," offering a rare glimpse into a reigning pope's theological explorations. With insights from Bishop Robert Barron's "Pope Benedict XVI Reader," we examine his engagement with scripture.  Finally, we explore the teachings of Pope Benedict XVI and their implications for finding true happiness in a sad world. By reflecting on his life and theological insights, we discuss how genuine joy can transform our relationships and communities.Key Points from the Episode:• Reflection on happiness in a post-Christian world • Overview of Pope Benedict XVI's life and legacy • The significance of Ratzinger's choice of name • Insights into Pope Benedict's theological contributions • Exploration of the nativity story's deeper meaning • Discussion on spreading joy through simple actionsOther resources: Want to leave a review?

Of the many excellent texts on leadership in the Catholic Church's tradition The Rule of Saint Benedict surely holds a pride of place.  Written around 530 AD by St. Benedict of Nursia this text provided the foundation for the way of life of his monks.  A way of life that shaped many of our traditions in Western Civilization.  This is why his take on leadership is so important.  And he provides us with a valuable lesson in our ongoing series on the lessons of leadership from the saints.

A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Chipnee camp for girls in the Durham region north of Toronto on July 11, 2024, the Feast of St. Benedict of Nursia. Music: Original track by Michael Lee of Toronto.

Kapitelsmesse aus dem Kölner Dom am Fest des Heiligen Benedikt von Nursia, Vater des abendländischen Mönchtums, Patron Europas. Zelebrant:  Weihbischof Rolf Steinhäuser.

Cada 11 de julio la Iglesia Católica celebra a San Benito de Nursia, fundador del monacato occidental, patriarca de los monjes de Occidente y patrono de Europa. También se le conoce como San Benito, Abad. El Padre Willie nos habla de la máxima de vida de San Benito, con la que ha inspirado a la cristiandad a lo largo de los siglos. "Ora et labora" (ora y trabaja), la síntesis perfecta de su propuesta de vida y un llamado a la unidad entre contemplación y acción.

Father Paul tells the story of a fifth and sixth century abbot whose discipline, gentleness, and charity led to the Benedictine Rule, the cornerstone of western monasticism.

Episode 2 - Liturgy as the Mystical Encounter  - Pathway to Sacred Mysteries with Dr. David Fagerberg Ph.D. Dr. David Fagerberg and Kris McGregor discuss liturgy as the mystical encounter with our spouse, with our bridegroom Christ Here are some of the topics explored in this episode: What melody is this liturgy supposed to be creating? What is Liturgical Asceticism? The influence of the Desert Fathers and St. Benedict of Nursia. Who's liturgy should we be doing on Sunday morning? Whose liturgy should we be doing in our lives? The post PSM2 – Liturgy as the Mystical Encounter – Pathway to Sacred Mysteries with Dr. David Fagerberg – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

His name, Benedictus, means "Blessed" in Latin. He was born in 480 in Nursia, a small town northeast of Rome. He had only rudimentary schooling: he wrote later of his fear that through book-learning he might 'lose the great understanding of my soul.' At an early age he fled to a monastery where he was tonsured; he then withdrew to a remote mountain, where he lived or several years in a cave, perfecting himself in prayer. His only food was some bread brought to him by Romanus, the monk who had tonsured him. When he became known in the area, he fled his cave to escape the attentions of the pious; but flight proved useless, and in time a community of monks formed around him. He was granted many spiritual gifts: he healed the sick and drove out evil spirits, raised the dead, and appeared in visions to others many miles away.   Benedict founded twelve monasteries, most famously that at Monte Cassino. Initially, each monastic house had twelve monks, to imitate the number of the Twelve Apostles. The Rule that he established for his monks was based on the works of St John Cassian and St Basil the Great, and became a standard for western monasteries. Thus he is sometimes called the first teacher of monks in the West.   Six days before his death, the Saint ordered that his grave be opened, gathered all his monks together, gave them counsel, then gave his soul back to God on the day that he had predicted. At the moment of his death, two monks in different places had the same vision: they saw a path from earth to heaven, richly adorned and lined on either side with ranks of people. At the top of the path stood a man, clothed in light and unspeakably beautiful, who told them that the path was prepared for Benedict, the beloved of God. In this way, the monks learned that their abbot had gone to his rest.

He came from a noble Northumbrian family in Britain, and was tonsured a monk in 653 at Lerins in Gaul. In 669 he was made Abbot of the Monastery of Saints Peter and Paul in Canterbury. He traveled to Rome in 671 to be instructed in monastic practice according to the Rule of Saint Benedict (of Nursia). Returning to Northumbria he established two new monasteries, the first to follow St Benedict's Rule in the British Isles. He went to Rome once again in 678-679, this time bringing back the archcantor of St Peter's, who taught the monks of St Benedict's monasteries the chant and liturgical practices used in Rome.   Under the holy abbot's guidance, these monasteries became flourishing centers of Christian worship, scholarship and art. The Venerable Bede (May 26) was one of his disciples. Saint Benedict reposed in peace in 689 or 690, having greatly strengthened the Church and the Christian faith in Britain.

Physical labor was devalued in the ancient world. The exception, in classical Greece and the early days of the Roman republic, was farming, which was considered the proper pursuit of citizens. All other labor was viewed as demeaning. In the later days of the republic, as plantation agriculture replaced small farms, the work of farming was also seen as demeaning and relegated to slaves.  By the time of the Roman Empire, all physical labor was only thought proper for slaves and lower classes. Though the foundation of the empire's wealth, the upper classes believed that production was beneath them. Their attention, or so they thought, belonged in the more “refined” areas of life, such as the arts and philosophy.   Of course, the biblical view of work is completely different. Scripture frames work as a good thing, an essential part of what it means to be human. Because God created us to work, at least in part, it's inherently connected to our worship and dignity.   Put differently, work is not the result of the fall. It was, however, tainted by Adam's sin. God's created purposes for humanity, to fill and form His world through work, would now feature pain and frustration. Aspects of human work were twisted from dignity to drudgery. Human efforts to cultivate the earth, designed by God to be part of the joy of imaging Him, became sources of frustration, pain, sweat, and sorrow.  Because of the uniqueness of the biblical framework, even the early Christians approached work with a very different view than their pagan neighbors did. They thought of work as good but marred by sin. So, for example, in monastic communities, monks were expected to do physical labor, if for no other reason than to grow their food. In his Rule for Monastic Life, St. Benedict of Nursia (480-547) insisted that monks should work both to fulfill the biblical mandate that God gave Adam, and to encourage humility in a world that thought of work as demeaning.  Within a full understanding of the biblical story, from creation to new creation, Christians came to understand the Gospel as Christ redeeming us of sin as well as all its effects. In addition to forgiveness of   sin and security of eternity, salvation also included the redemption of anything infected by sin. This included work, which led Christians to attempt to restore work away from “toil” and back to the kind of meaningful labor God intended.  So, in the Middle Ages, many monasteries became centers of technological innovation, focused on making work more significant. A prime example is the waterwheel. Although the Romans knew about waterwheels, they rarely made use of them. After all, why invest in an expensive machine when you have unlimited slave labor? The monks had a different view of human value and the value of work, which inspired them to develop ways of using the waterwheel to mechanize production.  Initially, waterwheels were likely used for grinding grain. This required converting the vertical rotation of the wheel into horizontal rotation for the millstones, which the monks accomplished through a system of wooden gears and wheels. Later, the waterwheel was adapted for a wide range of other applications including powering bellows in forges, operating trip hammers in smithies, sawing lumber, and fulling cloth.    Soon, even secular communities began to invest in building mills. While some might say secular communities adopted water wheels for economic impact, the economy in Rome was very specialized. Therefore, the Romans did not deploy waterwheels. What made communities adopt these and other technologies was likely the influence of the Christian idea of work, as it moved out from the monasteries to penetrate and shape the culture.  Many more inventions were developed during the Roman and Middle Ages, stimulating economic activity and making work more efficient and meaningful. These developments were inspired by the idea that Jesus' work in redemption meant restoration was possible in all areas of life, including reversing the curse of the Garden.   Though other countries had innovative technologies, some far more advanced than the West, the West's use and employment of technology was unique. According to Indian philosopher Vishal Mangalwadi, the West used technologies to make the work of the common person easier and to aid in production, rather than to cater to the elites.  In our current cultural moment, many see work as frustrating, unrewarding, and not worth it (that is, as toil). Christians have an incredible, better vision of work to offer the larger world. We've also got a history to tell, of how a vision of human dignity and innovation became a blessing across economic and class lines. Just as in the past, the Christian view can move our imaginations about work beyond drudgery to a renewed and redeemed way of thinking and living.  This vision shaped the work of men like Johannes Gutenberg, whose motive for inventing printing with moveable metal type was to produce Bibles that were “no longer written at great expense by hands easily palsied but multiplied like the wind by an untiring machine.” The same vision can find traction today, in a culture that doesn't know what work is for and needs an example of redeemed human labor, production, and meaning.  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Dr. Glenn Sunshine.
