Worth It All
The Catholic missionary goes out to heathen countries knowing that he brings with him a boon that is beyond all price. Were the result of his life's work but to make a single convert, his labours would have been well spent. Without him that soul would never have obtained grace, but would have passed out of this life still in bondage to sin: through him it has been delivered from Satan and raised to be partaker of the Divine nature. He has achieved a result of inestimable value.
-Joyce, S.J.
