Our Lord asks us to let the life continue in us that he began on earth in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Let him live in us; let his hidden life in Nazareth continue in us; let his life of universal charity continue in us; let his life of humility be prolonged in us. Let Jesus continue to light a fire on the earth by making each moment of our lives become moments of his life – all our thoughts, our words, and actions become thoughts and words and actions that are no longer natural or human, but Divine, no longer our own but those of Jesus.

– Blessed Charles de Foucauld
