I am not a person who is known for half-measures. Whatever I may be doing, I will probably jump in whole heartedly, enthusiastically participating with every part of myself. I thoroughly enjoy life.
Today, Benedict talks to us about good and bad zeal. There is a passion which can separate and be isolating or divisive. There is also a passion that can unify, inspire, and encourage others to join. The latter is good zeal. It is that spirit which can make anything seem possible and that gives teamwork a selfless edge.
I desire always to be an example of good zeal--of a passion for life and for the good of the whole that transcends the person and speaks much more of God and God's presence in the world today.
Sr. Catherine, OSB
