In the space of 200 years we have moved from the appalling conditions of work during the Industrial Revolution, through the Marxist-Communist era, when Russian workers, newly called the proletariat, sweated to fulfil the country’s unrealistic Five-Year plans, to the modern age where there is increasing talk of artificial intelligence taking over the workplace and ordinary people being paid a living wage not to work at all.
Into this debate comes the wise, sane voice of the late Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski, primate of Poland for 32 years, in this book first published in 1946: Sanctify Your Daily Life: How to transform Work into a Source of Strength, Holiness and Joy (EWTN/Gracewing).
