What Is Our Life For?

What is our life for?  Why do we work?  If Christians cannot remember the answers, then we are lost indeed.  Work is not something you are supposed to balance against the claims of your family.  Unless you are one of those few whose talents are required in a broad way for the common good of multitudes, if you are not working in the first instance for your family, then something is severely out of order.

Anthony Esolen, Out of the Ashes: Rebuilding American Culture, pg.128
