Title: Prayer for Daily Toils
Author: Bartholomew
We try to attain Virtue in all that we do.
Yet sometimes our daily acts seem far removed.
Where is the Compassion in mining? Where is the Valor in weaving cloth?
Where is the Justice in fishing?
Where is the Spirituality in stocking vendors? Where are the Virtues in our daily chores?
They are hidden deep within.
There is the Honesty of noble effort. There is the Sacrifice of continuing through boredom.
There is the Justice of a job well done.
There is the Humility in persisting repetition.
There is the Spirituality in the embodiment of toil.
There is the Valor completing the task.
And there is the Honor in performing respectfully.
The Virtues are not obvious in our daily duties.
Yet Virtue shines in the noble accomplishment.
So we must pursue and treasure a job well done.
