The Fear of Being the Provider: How to Balance Work and Family Life
About this episode
Work will take everything you give it. Give it enough and it will be the black hole that swallows your prayer, peace, and your marriage.
Today we discuss Ora et Labora, the ancient rhythm of prayer and work that St. Benedict modeled his life after. We explain why work can feel like a curse, the difference between your occupation and your vocation, why good men get addicted to the office, and what St. Gregory the Great named as the hardest labor of all.
