When we say, "This is my work" what do we mean? And how did we come to know that?
Hello to you listening in Fremont, California!
Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.
In college I was taught by lay faculty and Benedictine monks.
Today I follow Joan Chittister, an American Benedictine nun, theologian, author, and speaker who is known for being an outspoken advocate of justice, peace and equality focusing on the empowerment of women.
In her book, The Monastic Heart - 50 Simple Practices for a Contemplative and Fulfilling Life, Chittister writes, “A spirituality of work is that process by which you finally come to know that your work is God’s work, unfinished by God because God meant it to be finished by you.”
I say my work is "helping women shape and share their story by discovering: Who am I? What’s my why or work? How do I do my work differently?"
But the notion of “spirituality of work” puts a different spin on things. Is this truly my work? If so, how is it meant to be finished by me?
Story Prompt: What’s your work and how will you finish it? Write that story! And tell it out loud!
