I want you to know what I went through by volunteering for the Front. God made me feel with absolute certainty – I suppose to increase the merit of the offering – that I shall be killed. The struggle was hard, for I did not want to die; not indeed that i am afraid of death, but the thought that I could never again do more for God or suffer for Him in heaven made the sacrifice too bitter for words.

The depth of love that Father Doyle had ( and still has) for God is so edifying. He knew, loved, and served God without restriction, such was his love for God. The question can be asked of us: How do we serve God?
Father Doyle, intercede for us that we, too, will want to serve God more and more, particularly, in serving our neighbor.
