In his classic work The Soul of the Apostolate Dom Chautard demonstrates that the very foundation of all apostolic work must be the Interior Life. The apostle of Christ will grow to become an instrument and true channel of God’s graces to the world only through prayer meditation and the cultivation of the Interior Life. When one is involved in works of spiritual or corporal charity his work can only be truly efficacious when he anchors his Interior Life in Christ. Without Christ we can do nothing.
