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
‘At your word, Lord, I will begin again.’
The gift of fortitude, which is so necessary in our path toward heaven, is obtained from God through prayer and the sacraments.
"We have to win Heaven with our ordinary work. "
"I think the wise person’s essential gift is tender receptivity."
If God is our God, and if God is our All, there should be no limit to our confidence and hope in Him. Yet, as a matter of experience, one sees that it is often through want of confidence that men turn away from the pursuit of perfection.
It is necessary for one to know, to hope and to struggle with persevering patience, realising that this is what pleases God.
Every person, regardless of their station in life, has the ability to become a saint.
How pleasant it is when a friend comes to us in the midst of some difficulty and says: You can count on me!
