It’s all too common for us to think of our work as either the thing that gives us our identity, or something to be avoided at all cost, or some unhealthy combination of those two misleading philosophies. In this video, Fr. Mike aims to bring inspiration to our everyday jobs by showing us how our labor can be a way to share in God’s nature. By striving to look past humanity’s brokenness and sin, we can move beyond seeing work as a burden, and see how every act of work has dignity.
Fr. Mike is also a presenter in these faith formation programs from Ascension:
Belonging: Baptism in the Family of God (bit.ly/2rdOFy7)
Chosen: This is Your Catholic Faith (bit.ly/2r32vUK)
Altaration: The Mystery of the Mass Revealed (bit.ly/2rIYjfE)
YOU: Life, Love and the Theology of the Body (bit.ly/2nKLug5)
Get 18 of Fr. Mike’s best Ascension Presents videos in this exclusive DVD from Ascension:
Ascension Presents … Fr. Mike Schmitz (bit.ly/2sKUnJN)
Fr. Mike spoke at the Ascension Cafe during the World Meeting of Families. Watch him and other speakers get fired up over the gospel in the Ascension Cafe DVD (bit.ly/2sYtQaW).

I’m only 26 and I’ve had at least 20 jobs. I realize that I’ve been making work a place where I look for meaning, and tire as soon as it doesn’t offer that. I pray that the Lord purifies this disordered good & that I may offer up what I deem as “insignificant work.”

I especially appreciated the end when you talk about work as an act of worship when offered to God. As a seminarian, my "job" for now, my duty of the moment is to be formed and to study. This can be pretty tough sometimes because my call is not to be a seminarian, but I'm in an interim stage that is preparing me for my "career" as a priest. Sometimes, the only thing that gets me through a paper or a study session is the fact that I can offer it as a prayer to the Lord; that through self-denial and the exercise of my creative gifts, I can offer my papers, my exams and my studying as an act of worship to God. Hopefully other college students are turning their work into prayer as well!

Wow, thank you! I’m in med school and what bothers me is that a lot that a lot of people think that if you don’t give up your life entirely to this profession you’re not going to be a good doctor. I came here for two reasons: I do want a meaningful job, but I also want a job that pays so that I can work part time and be with my future kids as much as possible. I have actually never said this to anyone because it sounds selfish, but you have given me peace about it. I want to work, rest and love. God bless!

Because of that, I'm always looking to jump ship to get closer to whatever that might be (even if I'm not quite sure what that job would be). Thank you, Father Mike, for putting work in a realistic view.

I am a carpenter .. and it has been a grueling job for many year . sliced off fingers and broken hip.. blood is part of the job . scared of falling to my death but also seeing the divinity in what I do .. So many times I have stood back and cried .. I worried how I will make it the next week when injured and wondered why I was injured .. I would go to work and in my truck and pray .. I saw God in my work ! .. I would cry and get so excited when I'd see what I was able to do .. I felt The Lord and wondered why me .. Not why me in the sense of struggle .. But why me in .. Why did you give this Gift to me ? Things I couldn't figure beforehand .. I'd ask .. Show me .. and it happened .. I was witnessing like an observer and I'd get so excited .. I know my job might not pay that great .. I go to bed tired and wake up the next day excited and have never lacked food . I was provided for by God .. I was given an opportunity as a young man to build my parents house in 1986 .. I didn;t know what I was doing but it happened !! I hugged my mother in the back yard and told her " I didn't have a clue " and she said to me .. You have been given a Gift .. both of my parents passed in their beloved house years later .. and many years ago .. I understood the Gift and not only the work and toil .. But pass it on !! .. Show others what you know , teach and tell them they can do it and though they might not believe in God .. Testify always .. That it was Through The Lord unashamedly .. I will never take credit for all I have .. It was a Gift .. I will never curse God for the struggles ..I was taught through them and learned to love work and I see work as like a prayer .. I can give Glory to God through these hands .. .

I am studying accounting at the moment (2nd year) I plan to do some coding courses and then holefully by the Grace of God get employed in Denver, to never lose sight of the mountains and be close to Jesus there.

I’ve been applying to jobs, and the rejection is tough. I got rejected from one (of many) jobs on December 1st, and yesterday, they sent me the rejection email again. Talk about kicking me when I’m down. I’m feeling so down because for the first time in my life, I don’t know anything. I graduated college. No more school. No more structure. I feel like I’m sitting around collecting dust. All I do is search for jobs every waking hour. I’ve been praying and praying, looking at scripture like proverbs 3 and psalm 23, but I just feel so scared and abandoned. Everyone else is finding jobs. I hate this.

Jessica, being unemployed and only hearing "no"s are really tough. Keep asking for the grace to grow in hope and faith (as it seems you are). I know this sounds trite - but you really only have to hear one "yes". Here's a practical tip: create some daily routines, go to Mass and Adoration as often as possible, and keep contacting your network of friends and family for help. We are praying for you. God bless you!

This came really in the right time to me. I've been struggling for a long time now doing jobs on and off but i really know in my heart what I want to do and I'm just too scared to try and figure things out. Thanks therefore for this advice. Even that 'you do you' taken in a good way sounded right. God bless:)

This and earlier videos on this topic have been helpful for me leaving college and working and now married. Very different outlook and helpful inisght. Its so true that we can have what we do or how much money we make define our dignity or value as a person. When really there is dignity in all work and we work to live and for liesure. Making a living is a good life, with dignity and truly is a blessing.

Well, i got out of the corporate life and the shirts and ties to open a Window Cleaning business and I love it. We had a great opening(Oct-Dec) but, now we are dying on the vine and everything is in place. Digital advertising, website, 3rd party leads and it's not going so well, I have prayed that my family needs this but, to no avail so far, weather is still spotty(and the forecast looks as good as it can be) in my area hopefully God will answer our prayers so, I can feed my family.

Thank you father for your insightful thoughts on work.Work is not a drudgery especially when we offer it to God as worship.It takes away the pride that goes with it when we are successful .It takes away the mundaneness in it as it becomes a joyful sacrifice.God bless you father .
