Wellsprings Books Community

Inviting us to pause reflect and act with the God who is already present Gregory F. A. Pierce boldy confronts and honestly evaluates our struggle to find meaning in the workplace. Unlike books that try to impose religion on the world of work spirituality work promotes an authentic spirituality that is rooted in the nitty gritty of the workplace. Pierce shows how each of us can successfully balance our work with other aspects of life.

The holy and the transcendent can be found in the midst of the hustle and bustle of daily work. Rather than being a grind, our work can be grist for your spiritual mills. Indeed the work we do has enormous spiritual significance.

Ten Disciplines of workplace spirituality includes:

• find sacred objects
• living with imperfection
• assuring quality
• giving thanks and congratulations
• building support and community
• dealing with others as you would have them deal with you
• deciding what is enough — and sticking to it
• balancing work, personal, family, church and community responsibilities
• working to make “the system” work
• engaging in ongoing personal and professional development

God’s Spirit is everywhere.

Some are unknown such as Mr. Graff a Jewish man who tailored the suit the young man would wear to the seminary. His advice “Look I don’t understand about monasteries but I’ll give you a piece of advice. Be a good boy.” Some are famous such as Mother Teresa Cardinal O’Connor and Fr. Solanus Casey who once in Fr. Benedict’s presence stepped unprotected into a swarm of angry bees pulled out his harmonica and played “Mother McCree” to calm them. br> All of them changed his life in big and small ways. Their stories will not only inspire you but also help you appreciate those you have met over the years who have enriched and deepened your own life and inspire you to make a difference in someone else’s life.

For the believer life is a journey, a road laid out for us by the providence of God and guided by the divine law and the teaching of Christ. Our life can be considered the intersection of our personal thoughts and deeds with the mysterious workings of Divine Providence. Together these two elements form our existence.

When a person grows older, particularly when the end of life is apparently not very far off, the past takes on special significance. One is drawn at such a time to recollection, to revisiting people who are long gone, trying to make sense od what has happened.

An interesting account by any standard.
