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

How can a donkey work if it is not fed or given enough rest, or if its spirit is broken by too many beatings?
The gift of fortitude, which is so necessary in our path toward heaven, is obtained from God through prayer and the sacraments.
"Following Our Lord means living a life of small and great acts of madness, as is always the case where true love is concerned. "
