Love is the most necessary of all
virtues. Love in the person who preaches
the word of God is like fire in a musket.
If a person were to throw a bullet with his hands, he would hardly make
a dent in anything; but if the person takes the same bullet and ignites some
gunpowder behind it, it can kill. It is
much the same with the word of God. If
it is spoken by someone who is filled with the fire of charity – the fire of
God and neighbor – it will work wonders.
--St. Anthony Mary
Claret
