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
We need patience to endure the sorrow that besets us so that we do not betray the good we have.
"Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them."
Forgiveness, then, is the requirement for a true worship of God.
The role of the laity in the Church is to sanctify the temporal order from within.
It is necessary for one to know, to hope and to struggle with persevering patience, realising that this is what pleases God.
"That woman has learned to love by letting herself be forgiven."
Love makes suffering fruitful and suffering deepens love.
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.
