Passage 3

In English

Do your tasks as dedicated to the Lord

Really speaking, you agriculturists are holy souls, for you bend under the weight of the service you do and, with hands raised in prayer, you toil night and day converting dust and dirt into the nourishing harvest of grain for all men to feed upon. This task is holy and the product of your efforts is also sacred. Why cannot this task be made more fruitful by the cultivation of virtues also? That is the real harvest that pleases the Lord and sustains the world. Worry and grief there will always be of one type or other, in the past, present, and future, while walking, dreaming, and sleeping. But place faith in the Lord and do your tasks as dedicated to Him, and they both will vanish.
