Physical labor allows us to actualize our humanity as well as tilling the soil that is our soul, preparing it for spiritual growth.••†††••
Yesterday I took a 7 mile hike into Alaska Backcountry yesterday with 16 people from our parish. 6 of those people were under the age of 10. It wasn't as gruesome or difficult as it sounds. In fact, it will probably be one of those memorable moments that at least one of our group will remember for the rest of their lives. For some of us thought, it will be just one of many of such trips that we take together. The trip was successful, wasn't too stressful, and lead to some amazing views together. Most of all though it allowed for us to learn an important lesson, no matter how indirect, about the importance of physical labor.
