The kind of work we do does not make us holy, but we can make it holy. However 'sacred' a calling may be, as it is a calling, it has no power to sanctify but rather as we are and have the divine being within, we bless each task we do, be it eating, or sleeping, or watching, or any other.

To be sure, this requires effort and love, a careful cultivation of the spiritual life, and a watchful, honest, active oversight of all one's mental attitudes towards things and people. It is not to be learned by world-flight, running away from things, turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, one must learn an inner solitude, where or with whomsoever he may be. He must learn to penetrate things and find God there, to get a strong impression of God firmly fixed on his mind.
Meister Eckhart
