You missed the whole point. And I can tell that you've never read The Soul of the Apostolate

And you missed the key point:  Pray, Work, Smile.

We can't work..we can't do, if we haven't prayed, and prayed well, opening up ourselves to God's inpirations...the promptings He gives us in prayer.   Wresting with Him, dealing with Him, asking Him, etc. 

I can't tell that this whole approach is foreign to you. 

The 'soul of the apostolate' is about acedia (mentioned in the article) and burnout of very enthusiastic people..who "did lots"...but burned out...because the projects became their's not God's.

Look at what Jesus did before he "DID"....he prayed all night.
