Consuming zeal for souls

 

The Good Shepherd ~ Artist: Minerva Teichert

 

 “The offspring of this intensity of love

for our Eucharistic Lord

should be a consuming zeal

for the gathering of souls

into the fold of Christ.”

 “And here is the passive way – to be filled unto the fullness of God. The passive way – I abandon myself to it, not in a multiplicity of trials, extraordinary penances accomplished, practices of great works – but in peaceful abandonment to the tenderness of Jesus, which I must try to imitate, and by being in constant union with His meek and humble heart."  ~ St Katharine Drexel
