Towards a Christian spirituality of work

The model worker for a Christian should be Christ. There are four aspects of Christ's work that are relevant: (i) It is hidden and ordinary; (ii) It is well done, with attention to little details; (iii) It is done in obedience to God the Father's will and for His glory; (iv) It is done for the salvation and sanctification of all of God's children (redemptive value). All of these aspects point to something important: in Christ, work is converted into prayer.
