ZEAL
The cry of Jesus agonizing, "I thirst!" re-echoed continually in my heart, firing it with an ardent zeal till then unknown to me. I longed to give to my Beloved to drink: I too felt myself consumed with the thirst for souls, and at all cost I would wrest sinners from the eternal flames.

The Precious Blood of Jesus I poured
on souls, to Him I offered these same
souls renewed by the Dew of Calvary;
thus I thought to quench His Thirst;
but the more I gave Him to drink, the
more ardently my poor little soul thirsted—and
this I received as a most precious
recompense.
