This is some great advice for the Office worker. I am very happy that someone is putting this information out there and is trying to help the office workers now. Thank you. Do you have any advice for how to keep your mind on God while working among people who are notably more vulgar than others? I work as an engineering intern in a manufacturing plant in Detroit, and the atmosphere is good, with a good splattering of profanity and dirty jokes.
Hi Patrick, glad you are enjoying the articles. As for your work situation, I would begin by praying by name for each of your co-workers daily.. It can be hard to be positive if the underlying culture is negative. When one of them uses profanity, offer a prayer of reparation under your breath such as “My Jesus Mercy”,”Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Have Mercy on Us, “St. Joseph, pray for us” or “Admirable is the Name of the Lord”.
Also, considering memorizing a couple of joyful Bible verses to say in your head when the negativity train starts rolling at work such as Philippians 4:8 or Romans 12:12. Finally, if you ever have the chance, steer the conversation to more positive topics or at the very least show by your example that you will not stoop to their level of humor.
May God bless you at work.
I had a business card holder engraved for my wife with the initials AMDG. Anyone who went to a Jesuit school would know the significance – anyone else would wonder what it meant.
Tyran,the deacon at my parish has the same initials on his business card. It has helped him spark conversations about the faith at his workplace too.
Perfect post for a Monday morning. Thank you for the practical advice, this is great!
You are welcome, glad you enjoyed it.
