Thou Shalt Not Overwork Yourself -- As reported in The Herald, Pope Benedict, after his vacation in the Italian Alps, passes along a message from St. Bernard of the 12th Century...
"The saint advised pontiffs to 'watch out for the dangers of an excessive activity, whatever... the job that you hold, because many jobs often lead to the 'hardening of the heart', as well as 'suffering of the spirit, loss of intelligence',' Benedict said, quoting St Bernard.
"'That warning is valid for every kind of work, even those involved in the governing of the church,' said Benedict, 79."
This is one time I can agree with the old guy. (via 43 Folders)
