Do not work for food that perishes. 

“Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.” (JN 6: 27)

It is good to remember that our work has a bigger meaning. It is not only to have “the food,” but is also “for eternal life.” We must put all our hearts, minds, souls, and strength to add as many values as possible to change this world (my profession, career, and service) into a better place for everybody. 

“One does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.” (Gospel Acclamation)
