“Ah, were their love still alive among us. Were the fire that consumed them also still aglow in our heart. Oh, certainly, there are still many who put their life at the service of unhappy humanity; there are still many who want to dedicate their entire life to the beautiful and the good and are out to make other people happy, to serve them and to help. They are the preparers of the way for the Lord, but their number is not great enough, their love is often less heroic.”
St. Titus Brandsma
From “Sermon during the vigil of the National Pilgrimage to Dokkum,” translated by Maurits Sinninghe Damsté.
