3 Amoris Laetitia, on love in the family continued The work of your hands 23. At the beginning of Psalm 128, the father appears as a labourer who by the work of his hands sustains the physical well-being and tranquillity of his family: You shall eat the fruit of the labour of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you (Ps 128:2). It is clear from the very first pages of the Bible that work is an essential part of human dignity; there we read that the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it (Gen 2:15). Man is presented as a labourer who works the earth, harnesses the forces of nature and produces the bread of anxious toil (Ps 127:2), in addition to cultivating his own gifts and talents. 24. Labour also makes possible the development of society and provides for the sustenance, stability and fruitfulness of one s family: May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life! May you see your children s children! (Ps 128:5-6). The Book of Proverbs also presents the labour of mothers within the family; their daily work is described in detail as winning the praise of their husbands and children (cf. 31:10-31). The Apostle Paul was proud not to live as a burden to others, since he worked with his own hands and assured his own livelihood (cf. Acts 18:3; 1 Cor 4:12; 9:12). Paul was so convinced of the necessity of work that he laid down a strict rule for his communities: If anyone will not work, let him not eat (2 Th 3:10; cf. 1 Th 4:11). 25. This having been said, we can appreciate the suffering created by unemployment and the lack of steady work, as reflected in the Book of Ruth, Jesus own parable of the labourers forced to stand idly in the town square (Mt 20:1-16), and his personal experience of meeting people suffering from poverty and hunger. Sadly, these realities are present in many countries today, where the lack of employment opportunities takes its toll on the serenity of family life.
