"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"
