“Sanctity is not giving up the world. It is a continuation of that
sublime transaction of the Incarnation in which Christ said to man:

“You give Me your humanity, I will give you My Divinity.

You give Me your time, I will give you My Eternity.

You give Me your bonds, I will give you My freedom.

You give Me your death, I will give you My life.

You give Me your nothingness, I will give you My all.”

And
the consoling thought throughout this whole transforming process is
that it does not require much time to make us saints: it requires only
much love.
And now, in exchange for telling you how saints are made, kindly give me your prayers, that I may practice what I preach.”

– Fulton Sheen, The World’s Greatest Need
