Every Job Cultivates Culture
- Every human being is called to develop culture by skillfully rearranging creation for human flourishing.
- This applies broadly, from farming and music to law, as all work models human care and creativity.

- Law is a means to foster relationships and harmony based on love by defining boundaries and serving others selflessly.
- Even without sin, laws cultivate intimate cooperation by aligning actions with the will of others for mutual flourishing.
