Ora et Labora


10/23/12 The book of James, which I will be teaching from later this morning, is about faith producing good works. The good works don’t produce the faith. The root of faith is God’s grace. Faith is a gift from God and works are the fruit of that. The two go hand in hand.

Prayer is a part of the Christian faith---but we don’t stop there. Action follows in ministry to others.

I love the way this parochial school entry proclaimed that idea.
Ora et Labora---Latin for pray and work.
