Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 "Now we should love the house of the Lord, according to the Psalm (26:8): "Oh Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house." Indeed, we should love it so much that our zeal consumes us, so that if we notice anything amiss being done, we should try to eliminate it, no matter how dear to us are those who are doing it; nor should we fear any evils that we might have to endure as a result...Good zeal is a fervor of spirit, by which, scorning the fear of death, one is on fire of the defense of the truth. He is consumed by it who takes steps to correct any perversity he sees; and if he cannot, he tolerates it with sadness." St Acquinas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
