Originally penned by St. Benedict of Nursia, the motto "ora et labora," Latin for "pray and work," has governed life in Benedictine monasteries for centuries. These words call us to incorporate prayer into our daily routines and to seek out moments of silence while using our God-given talents to build up the Kingdom of heaven.
The words "ora et labora" are embroidered in white thread across the chest of this crewneck. The font color and style evokes the craftsmanship and discipline for which the Benedictine order is known, while the overall design reflects the clean lines of sailing ships.
The left cuff sports the English phrase "prayer and work" and will serve as a personal reminder of the Benedictine way of life as you go about your day.
Crafted both for comfort and durability, this high quality crewneck will embrace you in cloud-like comfort with its remarkably soft blend of 80% ringspun cotton and 20% polyester that ensures shape retention and longevity.
