Ora et Labora is directly pulled from the Rule of St Benedict who wrote precisely about the importance of keeping a balance and order in our days. Translated as prayer and work, ora et labora is his admonishment to balance the day with a little work, a little prayer, a little work, a little prayer. With rest sprinkled in.
