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
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.
We will have to help others in a way they may not notice but which lightens their burden.
Love makes suffering fruitful and suffering deepens love.
‘At your word, Lord, I will begin again.’
It is necessary for one to know, to hope and to struggle with persevering patience, realising that this is what pleases God.
"Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them."
We need patience to endure the sorrow that besets us so that we do not betray the good we have.
