Extract

The Apostolate of Christ the Worker merits high rank among the associations of the Church because it sees social work and holiness in their right perspective.

The apostle of Christ the Worker does not draw a great distinction between being holy and helping other people. His (or her) work for others is an essential part of the quest of sanctity.
