Spirituality: Peter Hans Kolvenbach, S.J.
We should remember that mediocrity has not place in Ignatius' worldview; he demands leaders in service to others in building the Kingdom of God in the marketplace of business and ideas, of service, of law and justice, of economics, theology, and all areas of human life. He urges us to work for the greater glory of God because the world desperately needs men and women of competence and conscience who generously give of themselves for others.
This is so very true - we need people in all walks of life who will work for the greater glory of God. That includes all occupations.
ReplyDeleteIt only works well if we do the best in our little part and let others do their parts well too. If we only pay attention to our role, all will be fine.
