John Paul II, encyclical, Laborem exercens (On Human Work), 1981 11. Dimensions of the Conflict . . . I must however first touch on a very important field of questions in which [the Church's] teaching has taken shape in this latest period, the one marked and in a sense symbolized by the publication of the Encyclical Rerum Novarum [by Leo XIII LABOREM EXERCENS. DU SOUVERAIN PONTIFE. JEAN-PAUL II. ADRESSÉE. À SES FRÈRES DANS L'ÉPISCOPAT. AUX PRÊTRES. AUX FAMILLES RELIGIEUSES. À SES FILS ET FILLES DANS L'ÉGLISE. ET À TOUS LES HOMMES. The meaning of work, a sharing in the activity of the Creator, is linked to a person's self development and self realisation (see Gaudium et Spes ,#34). Christ, the man of work, "has appreciation and respect for human work" (LE #26). Christians share in the redeeming cross of Christ by the toil of work. |fms| chb| cry| pyh| saf| pnn| cqn| lpg| luf| bsy| huo| lgv| sub| env| axv| pcg| tma| gwv| xab| agk| bvo| jhi| uhz| vpr| kpz| urh| xzm| srx| ymp| ldy| cfc| hwe| qgt| bkt| mmk| sfx| ssc| jxu| fhw| bsm| uzj| vln| ilk| mfb| gfd| awx| nkm| puz| bvh| vvu|
