Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor,
serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope,
patient in affliction,
faithful in prayer. - Romans 12:11-12
"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
