The Soul of the Apostolate by Jean-Baptiste Chautard

Softcover.

In this classic work, author Dom Chautard demonstrates that the foundation of all apostolic work must be the Interior Life. We will grow to become an instrument and channel of God's graces to the world only through prayer, meditation, and the cultivation of this Interior Life. When one is involved in works of spiritual or corporal charity, his/her work can only be truly efficacious when they anchor their life in Christ. Without Christ we can do nothing. Content included:

• Pre-eminence of the Interior Life over the Active Life
• The Devil's special temptations for those working for Our Lord
• Necessity of the Interior Life to a successful and spiritually fruitful apostolate

For those who would work for Our Lord and His Church there is simply no Catholic book more important to read and to follow than "The Soul of the Apostolate."
