Paragraph 40. Conscious of these responsibilities, they choose occupations in accordance with their own abilities, inclinations and opportunities. They recognise these as a practical way of giving witness that God calls humanity to collaboration in his work of creation and redemption, to share more intimately in the love with which he draws the world and its entire history to himself.

In the satisfaction and struggles that work entails, consecrated women develop their capacity to contemplate and promote the deepest and most fundamental meaning of human activity: to contribute to making the world a hospitable home for everyone, open to welcoming the manifestation of the Kingdom of God. Thus, they commit themselves in the sphere of work to achieving that « multiform personal development » that includes « creativity, future plans, the development of one’s capacities, the exercise of values, communication with others, and a disposition of adoration ». They take care to acquire and update their professional competence, and to oppose everything that degrades and obscures the dignity of human work.
