Enthusiasm

"Our desire is that every one of you should go on showing the same enthusiasm till the ultimate fulfillment of your hope, never growing careless, but taking as your model those who by their faith and perseverance are heirs of the promises." (Hebrews 6: 11 – 12)

"Fill me Lord, with the unsurpassable knowledge of yourself. As I know your more every day, let my love for you grow more intense and passionate. Then I will be ready to follow you everywhere."

Jesus Christ gives us a lot of aids to help us maintain our enthusiasm. These are the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, prayer, the word of God, spiritual reading and spiritual direction. He also provides us with so many sacramental like holy water. We have also a crowd of saints as model for our faith and perseverance.
