Daily Vincentian Inspiration


"If the love of God is a fire, zeal is its flame;

if love is a sun, zeal is its ray."

- St. Vincent de Paul

 

 

"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.
