The Fear of Being the Provider: How to Balance Work and Family Life

from The Catholic Gentleman · host John Heinen, Devin Schadt

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.   🟢 Join Catholic Gentleman+ for over 31 sessions of exclusive formation, daily saint quotes, and a brotherhood of men pursuing holiness: ⁠https://catholicgentlemanplus.com⁠  👉 Devin Schadt's new book The Rule: ⁠https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule/⁠ COUPON CODE for 20% Off: Gentleman20  Video Producer – Pietro Damasceno  Learn more about your ad choices.
