Dignify of work workers message to Early Christian a a macs i Pacb-13 did that work was. In greeks Noble. Christ taught the Equality All men before god and issued the tall to perfection to All men to he slaves As Well As their masters. Longer could labor be looked upon As something which detracted rom human dignity or perfection no longer could the full human Ife be reserved for the Noti work no elite. The perfect human life the life of a Saint a spiritual life which consisted in a con stantly deepening experience of god. This was the highest form of human activity und it de Pended on Charity or love. The christians realized that was about As far As. The mediaeval christians went in heir realization of Christ s Mes age. Work was suffering and it it self discipline into the lives f men. It was useful to i Scalp me the will to pacify inordinate passions to dispel Idle thoughts and. Laziness. Avoided risks mediaeval christians remained blissfully ignorant of some of the grandeur of work but they also avoided some of its terrible risks. One of these terrible risks is to Nake of work a new Type of Lavery As it became in capitalism nother to make of it an inhuman heroism sacrificing the worker to Ork As in communism. In. Mediaeval culture work had Een subordinated to the spirit Al life to a life of prayer and pose in god. In modern times Nis has been entirely reversed. Modern men Pride themselves in eing men of action. The Man of action cannot understand the Reid ious orders devoted to prayer and he contemplation of god. What i waste of time the beginning of this heresy of action had a religious inspiration even if misdirected. It was thought that the peace and repose of the life of prayer was nothing but sinful Idle Ness. To cast out Titis Demon of idleness it was necessary to devote oneself to serious work. For the christians of. The Middle Ages work prepared for Interior repose. Work now came to be loved because it was not idleness. It was the hate of repose that was it the Root of the love of work. Thrift became , because Laving were a sign of self denial. It is not difficult to see How an asceticism which was constantly increasing the wealth of those who practice it could degenerate into avarice. Money wealth material goods became the final end of Man. It led to the spirit of capitalism with which All of us evea the workers Are tainted to Day. It is High time that the workers themselves realize they Are really capitalists at heart themselves. Capitalism has sacrificed the worker for the accumulation of material goods by the few. Socialism wants work and the worker to be sacrificed for the accumulation of material goods by the Many. Communism Calls on the worker to Martyr him self for he simple Sake of producing. The three Are Basic ally making make. There is a new god abroad in today. The god s name ii mammon. Some people still believe that they can serve both god and it remained for tha communists to take seriously the words of Christ you cannot serve god and they have chosen mammon.
