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
We think we need every question answered. Our brains tell us we do. We don’t.
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.
"Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves."
We will have to help others in a way they may not notice but which lightens their burden.
"We have to win Heaven with our ordinary work. "
A pusillanimous person is a man of closed horizons, resigned to just getting along. He has no high ambitions.
Love makes suffering fruitful and suffering deepens love.
"Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them."
