About This Quote

When we take a close look at the lives of the saints and religious men and women, we see that they were all men who gave up their lives in pursuit of a higher purpose. Some gave up the life of a soldier and became monks. Others gave up the life of a farmer and became priests. And still others gave up the life of a trader and became monks.

It wasn’t because they wanted to become monks that led to their conversions. Rather, it was because they wanted to live their lives in accordance with God’s will. As such, all of them strove to live in such a way that they could dedicate their lives solely to God.

But for this passion, they would have never become monks.
