Only his illness prevented the encyclical from being published on the day of the ninetieth anniversary of the first encyclical on the question of work, Rerum novarum (1891), written by the great pope of the 'social question', Leo XIII. The meaning of work, a sharing in the activity of the Creator, is linked to a person's self development and self realisation (see Gaudium et Spes ,#34). Christ, the man of work, "has appreciation and respect for human work" (LE #26). Christians share in the redeeming cross of Christ by the toil of work.
