105. When one looks upon work with human ideas, one esteems it but little; but one judges it quite otherwise when one considers it in the light of faith and according to God.

106. As long as the brothers are devoted to their work, they keep religious discipline intact. If on the contrary they grow weak in this point, they rapidly fall into many other infidelities.

107. May each brother accept his function as a charge received personally from God, and by which he can prove his love for Him.

108. If the work seems hard he will be happy that his brothers are exempt from it, imagining himself to have merited more pain and labor than they.

109. If the work is pleasant, he will profoundly humiliate himself with the thought that he lacks the virtue and capacity required for a heavier task.

110. The brothers will not attach themselves to their occupations in a human manner. They will always be ready to change their function or remain without a function, if the superiors judge it appropriate.

111. In their work they will look only for the will of God, which they will assuredly find if they work under obedience.

112. Personal work may never serve as a pretext for absenting oneself from the regular exercises, or the common work. The brothers who do not obey this rule deprive themselves of the graces received through each community exercise.

113. Accomplish all that forms a part of your work as well as possible, with the maximum amount of care. Do everything for God, in the presence of God.

114. Be united to God in action, and the task accomplished, love to be able to converse familiarly with Jesus.
