Ora et labora, pray and work
Catholic AnswerThe above quote, Ora et labora is one of the motto's of the Benedictine Order and a favorite of St. Benedict. To quote the Second Vatican Council, from its Constitution on the Church in the Modern World:We believe by faith that through the homage of work offered to God [emphasis added] man is associated with the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, whose labor with his hands at Nazareth greatly ennobled the dignity of work. This is the source of every man's duty to work loyally, as well as his right to work; moreover, it is the duty of society to see to it that, according to the prevailing circumstances, all citizens have the opportunity of finding employment"
Although work is seen as universally important in the Catholic Church, it is thought to be an overemphasized factor in the Western Church. Work is a very important aspect of life and idleness (sloth) is an offense to God. However, the idea that one must be constantly working (or overwork oneself) is considered a Protestant encroachment on Catholic identity.
It is important to remember that Catholics, while encouraged to remain diligent, are also encouraged to rest on major feasts and Sunday.

Unfortunately, the Church has little control over the name Catholic and it is hijacked all the time by groups that are NOT in union with Rome and, therefore, not truly Catholic.
