"If the love of God is a fire, zeal is its flame;
if love is a sun, zeal is its ray."

"Si el amor de Dios es un fuego, el celo es su llama,
Si el amor es un sol, el celo es su rayo."
- San Vicente de Paul
O God, may the work of my hands be done with enthusiasm
as well as efficiency. Help me give all my work today
that extra touch of fervor.
Señor, que el trabajo de mis manos sea realizado con entusiasmo
y también con eficiencia. Ayúdame a darle a mi trabajo hoy
ése toque extra de fervor.
