The holiness of Jesus Christ must dwell within the missionary, and this holiness must at the same time be rooted in his interior life and manifested in his conduct through his labour and through his suffering. In this way, following the example of Jesus Christ, he brings souls to birth for God in truth, because he communicates to them the life of the Saviour that is within him.
