"in my breast-meat there is a famine"

Grease 2 (1982)

"'I consecrate myself entirely to You; invade me, take me, possess me wholly. Be the penetrating light which illumines my intellect, the gentle motion which attracts and directs my will, the supernatural energy which gives energy to my body. Complete in me Your work of sanctification and love. Make me pure, transparent, simple, true, free, peaceful, gentle, calm, serene even in suffering, and burning with charity toward God and my neighbor.'" (Sr. Carmela of the Holy Spirit, O.C.D.)

"When the contemplative life--considered as an assiduous seeking after union with God--is really fervent, it cannot fail to rekindle in the soul the burning fire of the apostolate. One who has experience, in an intimate contact with God, the ineffable reality of His love for men, cannot fail to burn with the desire to win all to that love."

Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D., Divine Intimacy, "184: Mary's Apostolate"

"It is true, O Mary, that on the day of my baptism the Holy Spirit diffused His charity in me; but my self-love has halted its growth, and I who have so little love for my God, have likewise very little love for my neighbor. O most loving Mother, see how I need to have my heart dilated with charity! Stir up, then, and nourish that virtue in me and grant that, having given myself to the service of God, I may give myself to that of my neighbor, with kindness and humility, promptness and generosity."

Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D., Divine Intimacy, "181: Mary and Fraternal Charity"

"It was easy indeed not to speak when the difficulty was to find words."
