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
He who knows himself to be a son of God knows no fear.
How pleasant it is when a friend comes to us in the midst of some difficulty and says: You can count on me!
We have to learn to abandon ourselves, leaving the results of our struggle in God’s hands, for only abandonment, trust in God, can overcome this unrest.
Though it is perfectly natural to experience sadness over loss or injury, the virtue of patience enables us to bear suffering without being broken by sorrow or led to forsake the way of virtue.
We are not called to spiritual mediocrity – to be just nice guys. We are called to holiness.
The temptation of absence destroys the virtue of presence.
Gratitude is hardly restricted to people of faith, just as people of faith are not exempt from ingratitude.
Forgiveness, then, is the requirement for a true worship of God.
