It wasn’t a Monday at a parish church’s rectory
Work I did in the monastery yesterday
Put clean sheets on the beds in the guesthouseNot an entirely unusual day here
Planted a shrub in the cloister
Took apart and cleaned the meat-slicer in the kitchen
Sorted produce in the walk-in refrigerator
Assembled a salad for 25 monks and 40 guests
Help the brother cook measure ingredients for dinner
Hauled garbage
Installed grommets on curtains
Laundered one load

What? No marriage proposals yet?!!!
Not to mention fitting in Mass, the Divine Office, Lectio Divina, personal prayer time...and whatever else may have come your way during the day.
wow - talk about labor!
Whew! I'm exhausted just reading the list--doesn't seem to matter how much you do, there is always more--guess God does not want us to get bored.
Do you hire out?
Just kidding! :) I wish I were that productive!!

None, Bob.
Monks and work-at-home housewives do a lot of the same work.
Sounds like a pretty wonderful day to me. Full, but satisfyingly useful.
Some days, I relly do wish I was a monk.
