The Theology of Work

Work is presented as a vital expression of the theology of the body, aligning with God's commandments given in Genesis. The two key commandments—being fruitful and multiplying, and tending to the earth—harmoniously convey the essence of human existence and fulfillment. The understanding of work has often erred towards viewing it as drudgery to escape, rather than as an intrinsic good that contributes to human happiness and purpose. This shift in perspective can radically transform how individuals engage with their work, positioning it as an avenue for communion with God instead of an obligation to endure.
