Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire!

"Through the Holy Eucharist you will fall in love with God. The more you love God,   the more you receive God,   the deeper your love becomes. The more your heart opens, you and Trinity are one. Love demands love in return and love begets love… we ask what must we do? I prefer to say what must we be? We must be lovers who love God back. We cannot help it... When you love, you want to serve…" (From Communion is a Flame Bursting Within by Catherine Doherty)

(Image source: Wikimedia Commons ) Zeal for the salvation of souls is of so great a merit before God, that to give up all our goods to the poor, or to spend our whole life in the exercises of all sorts of austerities cannot equal the merit of it. There is no service more agreeable to God than this one. To employ one's life in this blessed labor is more pleasing to the Divine Majesty than to suffer martyrdom. Would you not feel happy if you could spend large sums of money in corporal works of mercy? But know that he who labors for the salvation of souls does far more; nay, the zeal of souls is of far greater merit before God…than the working of miracles.  St. John Chrysostom
