God calls us to both work diligently and rest purposefully—not as opposing forces but as a rhythm designed for human flourishing. The Creation account itself shows us this pattern: after six days of creation, God rested and sanctified the seventh day (Gen 2:1-3).

What does it truly mean to sanctify our work? It means transforming our daily tasks into an offering to God, aligning our efforts with His divine will, and viewing work as a vocation rather than just a necessity.

St. Joseph, a humble worker and protector of the Holy Family, teaches us how to integrate faith into our daily labor. As Catholic professionals, we can look to him as a model of diligence, trust in God, and service to others. His life reminds us that work is not merely a duty but a path to holiness when done with love and purpose.

As Catholic professionals, our work is not just a means of survival or success—it is a path to holiness. St. Josemaría Escrivá emphasized that our mission is to sanctify our work and, through it, help transform society in accordance with God’s will. We are not passive observers but active participants in building a world that reflects Christian values.

The journey of professional life is filled with stages, crossroads, and challenges. As Catholic leaders, entrepreneurs, and executives, we navigate these decisions not just with strategy, but with faith. Our ultimate goal is not merely success by worldly standards, but a supernatural one: to align our work with God’s purpose.

I am grateful for the privilege of being able to lead SENT as we head into 2025. John Cannon and I have worked closely together since SENT’s infancy and I’m excited to bring the vision with which he was entrusted to life.

A Letter from Our Founder: Transitioning Leadership at SENT Ventures

As artificial intelligence transforms industries, Catholic values offer a moral framework for ensuring that AI systems respect human dignity. By balancing innovation with ethical responsibility, Catholic leaders can develop AI that benefits society while protecting the rights and dignity of individuals.

Humans are complex beings, so no one assessment gives a complete picture, but instead, gives an insight into how and why people function the way they do. The 6 Types of Working Genius is unique because it gives insight into what type of work will bring joy and energy versus what type of work will bring frustration or lead to burnout. According to its creator, Patrick Lencioni and his team at The Table Group, it’s 80% of a productivity tool and 20% personality assessment.

As digital transformation reshapes industries, faith-driven leaders face the challenge of aligning technological innovation with ethical and moral values. By prioritizing human dignity, transparency, and the common good, faith-driven leadership can guide organizations through this era of change while ensuring that technology serves humanity, fosters inclusion, and promotes long-term sustainability.
