Saint Benedict of Nursia Shirt, Hard Worker Gift, Ora et Labora Mostly Labora, Pray and Work Tee for Gardeners, Farmers and Busy Moms

Item highlights

  • Made to order

Seller's description

Cute chibi watercolor-style illustration of Saint Benedict of Nursia with a long white beard and a black hooded habit, holding a wooden crozier and an open book, with a black raven carrying bread on his shoulder: "Ora et labora. Mostly labora."

A thoughtful Saint Benedict of Nursia gift for Catholics, RCIA sponsors, catechists or a confirmation student who loves this saint.

THE STORY BEHIND IT
Saint Benedict of Nursia wrote his Rule for monks in the 6th century, and its spirit is often summed up as "ora et labora," pray and work.

Great for hard workers, farmers, gardeners, busy parents, office workers, monks and anyone whose to-do list never ends. A cheerful gift for the friend who means to rest right after this one last job.

Saint Benedict of Nursia (about 480-547) wrote a short Rule for monks that balanced prayer, reading and work, and it shaped monastic life in Europe for centuries. "Ora et labora", pray and work, later became the popular summary of that balance. This chibi abbot has his crozier, his book and the raven from his legend, which carried off a poisoned loaf. A gentle shirt for hard workers everywhere.
