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
"The truly virtuous person doesn’t just do the right thing; he also desires rightly."
A pusillanimous person is a man of closed horizons, resigned to just getting along. He has no high ambitions.
The virtue of poverty consists in living with our heart in God, and therefore detached from material things.
The role of the laity in the Church is to sanctify the temporal order from within.
God's gifts are meant to lead us to him, not away from him.
Christian materialism, instead of making us despise consumer goods, should move us to take good care of the material wealth that we possess.
"We have to win Heaven with our ordinary work. "
We are not called to spiritual mediocrity – to be just nice guys. We are called to holiness.
How can a donkey work if it is not fed or given enough rest, or if its spirit is broken by too many beatings?
