Paragraph:

347 Creation was fashioned with a view to the sabbath and therefore for the worship and adoration of God. Worship is inscribed in the order of creation. ²¹⁵ As the rule of St. Benedict says, nothing should take precedence over "the work of God", that is, solemn worship. ²¹⁶ This indicates the right order of human concerns.
