In the Vineyard

When men work for God, there are two ways in which they may proceed: they may work in God's way; or they may work in their own way, to suit themselves. Only apostolic work that is done in God's way will be acceptable to Him and successful in extending His kingdom.

It is therefore important to know how to do God's work in God's way. The purpose of the following pages is to point out some basic principles that must be known and observed by those who wish to make their apostolate spiritually fruitful.

There is no intention of setting forth here a systematic treatise on this subject; these chapter are a reprint of a series of articles that first appeared as monthly installments in the Catholic Worker. However, despite the looseness that comes of such disconnected writing, they are bound together by a common theme. They are reprinted as a pamphlet because of many requests for them in this form; and it is hoped that they may encourage workers in the vineyard of the Lord to adopt God's way of working and put aside the merely human way.
