"The devil quickly finds work for idle hands and an angel quickly finds work
for diligent hands. In this world of constant movement and constant change man,
whether he wants to or not, must always be busy, be it either good works or evil
works. The idle man, actually is not lazy. He is a diligent worker of the
devil. An idle body and an idle soul is the most suitable field for the devil's
plowing and sowing. St. Anthony the Great said: "The body needs to be
subdued and immersed in prolonged labors." St. Ephrem the Syrian teaches: "Teach
yourself to work, so that you will not have to learn to beg." All of the
other Holy Fathers, without exception, speak about the necessity of work for the
salvation of the soul of man. The apostles and all the saints give to us an
example of continuous and concentrated spiritual and physical labor. That the
idle man, by his idleness, does not extend his life on earth but shortens it, is
clearly shown by the longevity of many saints, the greatest laborers among the
laborers in the world."
