Monsignor James Shea, president of University of Mary, Bismarck, ND will speak on the paper “Vocation of the Business Leader”, a document published by the Pontifical Council of Justice and Peace in 2012 during a business leader breakfast organized by Attollo on March 19th.
Monsignor will explain how we currently view work and leisure and the reason why we do such a poor job living an authentic, integrated life. He goes back into history to show us how to move us from merely “having”, to “doing” to “being”.
We will never find happiness of purpose or real joy in life unless we find a way to give ourselves away in love. This means the fundamental question in our life isn’t “What do we do for a living?” or “What do we do when we are not at work?” . The central question in our life should be: “How can I give myself away?”
A favorite quote of Saint Pope John Paul II was – “Man cannot fully find himself except through a sincere gift of himself. “ Guadium et Spes 24. He said there’s a universal call to love, to be whole, to be holy. We do this by giving ourselves away in our personal calling through our family our friends an in our work vocation allowing us to exercise our gifts in serving others, through servant leadership. If you are in town, come to this talk to learn how to live an authentic, integrated life.
