“If I have work of great meaning and scope to do, but my relationships are not satisfactory, I am a person in trouble. Conversely, if my relationships are warm and satisfactory, but I have no meaningful work to do, I am a person in trouble. Until I find my vocation I have energy that has not found its flow. Love and work are essential to any feeling of well-being. When we have both, Spirit courses through us. The church is engaged in the education of the New People when it is helping us to form satisfying relationships and helping us to identify gifts, to hear call, to discover vocation.”
-Elizabeth O’Connor, The New Community, pg. 73-74
