We are told again and again that spirituality is strictly personal, strictly &ldquou;private”, a matter of one's “lifestyle”. This view cannot co–exist with the belief that our work belongs to our spiritual vocation: we are called to work as collaborators with God for the good of the whole family. Our work, like our worship, is a public witness to our vocation. Our work is not merely our own, but a calling to change the world, not through our own power or vision, but in cooperation with God's will.
