Because God counts on our partnership in building the Reign of God, cocreating the earth, it is right to feel a solid sense of God's call to holy life in worldly occupations: work in science and technology, crafts and trades, agriculture and academe. The reflections in this book invite you to examine your work: how it can be a calling or vocation. The meditations may be done as a six-week, solitary, homemade retreat. They can be done while riding the subway to work, during the wee hours before your family gets up to meet the day, or during a coffee break when you can shut your office door for a few moments of quiet. Sharing the retreat with a group of kindred spirits can greatly enhance the experience. The Spirit will be with you in your reflections. You need only open your eyes to the transfiguring Light." -from the introduction.
