Zeal

According to Father Moreau, our presence and activity are to be characterized by a passion, an inner fire, which urges us to serve God’s people in holiness.

“By zeal is understood that flame of burning desire which one feels to make God known, loved, and served and thus save souls.  Apostolic activity is therefore the essential character of this virtue, and all (ministers) who are animated by it will fulfill the duties of their state with eagerness, affection, courage, and perseverance.” (Christian Education I:1)
