Answer:
Apostleship of prayer
Explanation:
After teaching for a number of years, Father Arnold had his classes fairly well prepared; so
he looked for some other way, besides his teaching, to promote the kingdom of God. At that
time the recently started movement called the Apostleship of Prayer had made its way into
Germany. Several religious houses and a few parishes had joined. Realizing the need of
prayer for the spread of the kingdom of God, Father Arnold became a member of the
Apostleship of Prayer. Not content with being a member, he immediately began promoting
the Apostleship by enrolling others. At his own expense he also wrote and published a 22-
page booklet explaining the Apostleship. He sold copies and gave the profit to priests in
Bohemia in the form of Mass stipends. His family was one of the first to receive a copy of
the attractive booklet. He wrote to them, "Read it and often say the prayers in this little
booklet." He enrolled 600 new members of the Apostleship in Bocholt and Goch. With such
a record, Arnold received the appointment of diocesan director.
