Doctrinal-religious formation
In response to your constant desire to improve your formation, and your eagerness to learn, the Work offers you, to the extent and in the way that best matches your personal circumstances, accurate knowledge of the Church’s dogmatic and moral teaching, Sacred Scripture and liturgy, Church law and history. This will help you to raise human spheres of knowledge to the supernatural order and make them into apostolic instruments.
Professional training
But you must also acquire the appropriate professional training for your own occupation, your intellectual or manual job in society, in order to be able to carry out this apostolate of doctrine effectively through your personal activities, your ordinary work.
Work cannot really be sanctified unless it is done perfectly, including on the human plane. And without this perfection, we will find it hard, if not impossible, to acquire the professional standing and respect needed for teaching others to sanctify their work and to change their lives to live up to the demands of the Christian faith.
