Da Mihi Animas

We flatter ourselves that we love God, and we leave His living image in the dirt, without giving ourselves the least trouble of lifting it up out of it! . . . Ecclesiastical history shows us a simple slave converting the whole nation of the Iberians. Let us enter into ourselves; do we find that we have this zeal for the salvation of souls, this ardent thirst to save our perishing brothers?
