In recent years, I have noticed that screen time has become a crutch for me. I was spending more time than I was willing to admit on my phone or computer, but this past Lent, I finally committed to seriously trying to change that.

A couple of summers ago, my husband and I loaded our bags into the car’s trunk, mounted our road bicycles on the roof, and headed out for a road trip. Little did I know that it would be a memorable experience that taught me the importance of perseverance.

Work should not be separate from the rest of our life. We are the same person whether we’re working or parenting or resting or spending time with family or friends. The same virtues we hear about at Mass or read about in Scripture are the ones we must use in our workplace.
