We work for a reward, that is a paycheck. That is the economic system. You might love what you do, but if no $$ then you will do something else for the money to live. And what you love becomes an advocation. In recovery programs you work without getting paid. It’s not slavery. You are not forced or punished if you don’t work. Well, you punish yourself by not working since you will go back into your addiction that is destroying your life and the life of others. What work? You work the steps, 12, and you help others. You get no paycheck in money. But you do get a reward. Happy, joyous and free.
The homilies and musings of a Paulist Priest.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
