". . . Saint Francis de Sales said, 'Many are satisfied with carrying the Lord on their tongue, recounting His marvels and praising Him with great ardor; others carry Him in their hearts with tender and loving affection, which becomes part and parcel of their lives, thinking of Him and speaking to Him. But these two ways of carrying the Lord do not amount to much if the third element of carrying Him in their arms by good works is missing.' (Sermons 2; O. IX, p. 22) As much as we might love the Lord or speak about Jesus, it is by good works, carrying the Lord in our arms, that He is known. . . ."
In
a recent
commentary, Father Paul Colloton, OSFS (Superior, De Sales Centre Oblate Residence, Childs, MD),
reflected on how, through our good works, the "ordinary becomes extraordinary because the
One whose name is engraved on our hearts, Jesus, is made visible for
others to know and see Him."
