Don't let your life be barren. Be useful. Make yourself felt. Shine forth with the torch of your faith and your love.
The Way #1
Josemaria Escriva
How can a donkey work if it is not fed or given enough rest, or if its spirit is broken by too many beatings?
"I think the wise person’s essential gift is tender receptivity."
"We have to win Heaven with our ordinary work. "
He who knows himself to be a son of God knows no fear.
“Please God,” I prayed, “Show me the truth, but don’t let the truth be Catholic!”
"The truly virtuous person doesn’t just do the right thing; he also desires rightly."

The temptation of absence destroys the virtue of presence.
If with the help of grace we reject the ‘tongue-tied’ devil, we will find that one of the immediate fruits of sincerity is joy and peace in our souls.
