The "Pauline spirit" substantially means possessing the soul, heart and mind of St. Paul. It involves a very intense interior life. It is zeal and generous dedication in the apostolate. It shows practical love toward the Divine Master, the Church, and constant serene union with God (FSP 53, p 446).

FROM FATHER TOM: A formidable program indeed! Let's select one of the less disconcerting items and work on that. Usually, perfection in one aspect of the spiritual life involves perfection in all the others.
