Holy-zeal: Having a passion or drive that motivates us to go beyond what we think we can do for something or someone that really matters.
Saint Anthony Mary Claret taught that “The love of Christ drives us on, urges us to run, to fly, lifted on the wings of holy zeal.”
Have you ever thrown yourself into something and stayed with it until the end? Maybe it was a sports team, a community project, or an educational degree? Whatever it was, if you have ever been truly committed and zealous, then you can identify with the commitment and spirit of Saint Anthony for bringing people to God.
Channel that same commitment and zeal in your preparation to meet Jesus! Discuss with your family how you can fruitfully nurture your love and friendship with Jesus.
May we ask Saint Anthony Mary Claret to help us grow in zeal for God, so that “God may always be better known, loved and served in this world and in the life to come.”
