Interior Life (Catholic Theology) - Dom Chautard: Soul of The Apostolate

Dom Chautard: Soul of The Apostolate

Another classic on this topic is the book by Jean-Baptiste Chautard or more commonly known as Dom Chautard, Soul of the Apostolate where he says that the evangelization of people is but a result of one's inner life of union with God.

He says:

The Incarnation and the Redemption establish Jesus as the Source, and the only Source, of this divine life which all men are called upon to share... Failure on the part of the apostle, to realize this principle, and the illusion that he could produce the slightest trace of supernatural life without borrowing every bit of it from Jesus Christ, would lead us to believe that his ignorance of theology was equaled only by his stupid self-conceit.
