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
One of the greatest obstacles to growth in the spiritual life is our tendency to hide the truth
Whenever a created good begins to draw us away from Christ, it has ceased to occupy its proper place
"Lukewarmness dims the soul's witness; rekindle zeal, love, and daily interior life."
A person who drifts from one activity to another according to whatever happens to attract his attention
Left entirely to itself, it can become what spiritual writers have called the lunatic of the house.
Jesus saw something very different. What attracted his attention was not the size of the gift.
Whatever you do, do it well, and you will have praised God
When we are grateful, we recognize that we are not self-sufficient and that much of what is good
A grateful person does not move through life assuming that everything good is simply owed to him.
