笔谤别蝉别苍迟别谤:听 Christine Firer Hinze
In the 鈥淧rayer for Generosity鈥� attributed (albeit mistakenly) to St. Ignatius of Loyola there is a request that God teach us 鈥渢o labor and not seek to rest.鈥澨� Such a heroic picture of Christian self-giving can risk masking or demeaning an equally essential dimension of being fully human and Christian: rest. For Jews and Christians, rest鈥攍ike work鈥搃s also a divine command and a fecund gift.听 Far from being opposed, work and rest are deeply interdependent, and must be nurtured together, especially in our efforts to address the most pressing justice and ecological issues of our day.
