In the Holy Family Novena and Prayers, the Seventh Day declares:
Work can be the seed of virtue. Holy Family, teach us to make the everyday events of our lives and work into acts of loving God.

How can work be the seed of virtue?
 
I shall give you a catechism paragraph…

The moral virtues are built upon our effort, but the theological virtues are said to be infused…this is the paragraph that came to mind.
*
1804 Human virtues are firm attitudes, stable dispositions, habitual perfections of intellect and will that govern our actions, order our passions, and guide our conduct according to reason and faith. They make possible ease, self-mastery, and joy in leading a morally good life. The virtuous man is he who freely practices the good.
**
The moral virtues are acquired by human effort. They are the fruit and seed of morally good acts; they dispose all the powers of the human being for communion with divine love.***
