Thought Leadership
What Does It Mean to Be Pro-Life in Business Strategy?
To be pro-life in business means to make strategic decisions that protect, honor, and uplift human life in every aspect of your operations—from hiring and workplace culture to supply chains and product design.
How Mission Statements Can Reflect the Inherent Worth of Every Person
In today’s economy, mission statements often revolve around market disruption, innovation, or growth. While these are valid goals, a deeper, faith-rooted mission calls us to start from a different place: the intrinsic dignity of the human person.
Empowering Frontline Decision-Making: How Subsidiarity Elevates Your Business
In Catholic social teaching, subsidiarity is the principle that decisions should be made at the most local level competent to make them. It’s a vision of leadership that trusts people. At SENT, we believe this teaching is not only deeply spiritual—it’s also deeply strategic for today’s Catholic entrepreneur.
Work and Contemplation: Finding God in the Midst of Daily Life
Many people see contemplation as something separate from daily life—something reserved for monks and mystics. But St. Josemaría Escriva taught that true contemplation can and should happen in the midst of work, family, and daily responsibilities. The call to holiness is not about choosing between prayer and action, but about bringing them together.
Work and Contemplation: Turning Daily Tasks into Prayer
Many think of contemplation as something reserved for monks in monasteries. However, St. Josemaría Escriva taught that ordinary work can become contemplative prayer, allowing us to encounter God in the middle of the world. True holiness is not about withdrawing from daily life—it is about finding God in the midst of it.
Work, Sacrifice, and Glory: Finding Holiness Through the Cross and Resurrection
Work is not just an earthly task—it is part of our redemption. St. Josemaría Escriva saw Christ’s labor in Nazareth not as an ordinary profession, but as an act of salvation, intimately united to his sacrifice on the Cross. Our work, too, when united to Christ, becomes both redemptive and sanctifying.
Offering Our Work to Christ
During Christmas, we reflect on the Magi bringing gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the Christ Child. These gifts symbolize our own offering—the daily work we present to God. As St. Josemaría Escriva taught, our labor, when done with love and intention, becomes a path to sanctity.
A Supernatural Motive: Transforming Work into Holiness
Many people see work as a purely earthly task—something to earn a living, build a career, or achieve success. But St. Josemaria Escriva taught that work has eternal significance. When done with love for God, our daily efforts become more than a profession—they become a path to holiness.
Unity of Life in Professional Work: Integrating Faith, Work, and Apostolate
For many, work, prayer, and apostolate may seem like separate aspects of life—each with its own time and place. But true holiness is found in the unity of these three, forming a harmonious whole where every action is a step toward God.
Working Conscientiously: Excellence as a Path to Holiness
To sanctify our work, we must work well—not simply as a means to an end, but as an act of love for God. St. Josemaria Escriva reminds us: “Holiness does not consist in doing more difficult things every day, but in doing them every day with greater love.”
