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.
This Catholic notion of forgiveness can find its origins in the Bible
It judges our conduct and calls us to conversion. It disturbs our complacency, exposes our excuses
"You are the same man, both on the job with your colleagues and at home with your family and friends. "
