How to achieve “unity of life”? You start by giving over space in your crowded schedule of work and family duties to prayer and the sacraments.

But even people who pray daily can still fence off their praying and working lives in separate compartments.

Unity of life means bringing together our work and our prayer so that our prayer includes our work and our work can be offered as prayer. Work can then be carried out for the sake of God and in the service of others.

A strong interior life is like a bubbling spring—it spills out naturally onto the ground around it.
