"Our
Lord, perfect man in every way, chose a manual trade and carried it out
attentively and lovingly for almost the entirety of the years he spent
on this earth. He worked as a craftsman among the other people in his
village. This human and divine activity of his shows us clearly that our
ordinary activities are not an insignificant matter. Rather they are
the very hinge on which our sanctity turns, and they offer us constant
opportunities of meeting God, and of praising him and glorifying him
through our intellectual or manual work."
St. Josemaría Escrivá
