“It is not necessary for all to take the vows of a religious, but it is necessary for all to live [a holy life] in order to gain heaven, whoever or wherever they may be. Their souls cannot let them rest where they are.”
Isaac T. Hecker (From a letter to his family written during Hecker’s novitiate; “The Paulist Vocation” PV, 116)
