On Career
God loves the world. He prefers the natural to the supernatural. This path of naturalness is the one that leads to authentic growth, for it unleashes all our energy, humanness and creativity. Mary is the symbol of all naturalness, i.e all that is seen. Even though we are often consoled by the divine and miracles, the ultimate victory comes only by work because God has become flesh, that is why the purest miracle is that which is realised amidst the struggles and the events of life.Progress entails taking responsibility of the world and nature, noturing her and making her habitable for posterity. This work , done, in tilling mother earth is ultimately the path towards salvation.The earth is matter, 'severance',and matter must be acted upon so that it can act once more in essence, i.e unity.Work was cursed to be toil through the adamic fault , but work is not to be hated.Through the victory of Christ, work is love. In fact love is a verb, an action word, a doing word.All professionalism and career points to this ultimate aim: love. We must love what we do! This beautiful naturalness has its roots from the supernatural, the source of all naturalness is divine. From the unseen to the seen, our work , thus natural as it should be , should untimately be dependent on the supernatural, it is being controlled from thence. It matters little wether we like what we do or not , what we have to realise is that it is love. Love sometimes transcends feelings....
