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
Forgiveness, then, is the requirement for a true worship of God.
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.
‘At your word, Lord, I will begin again.’
God's gifts are meant to lead us to him, not away from him.
"Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves."
Gratitude is hardly restricted to people of faith, just as people of faith are not exempt from ingratitude.
Every person, regardless of their station in life, has the ability to become a saint.
