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
A pusillanimous person is a man of closed horizons, resigned to just getting along. He has no high ambitions.
Every person, regardless of their station in life, has the ability to become a saint.
The role of the laity in the Church is to sanctify the temporal order from within.
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.
‘At your word, Lord, I will begin again.’
We need patience to endure the sorrow that besets us so that we do not betray the good we have.
We are not called to spiritual mediocrity – to be just nice guys. We are called to holiness.
"I think the wise person’s essential gift is tender receptivity."
