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

Come away by yourselves to a lonely place and rest a while
For most of his earthly life, the Son of God lived in an ordinary family
God intentionally left it unfinished, and gave man the vocation to complete it
For a student, study is not simply preparation for future work.
Truly prudent people recognize the limits of their own perspective.
Freedom is not only the ability to choose but also to accept
A person who drifts from one activity to another according to whatever happens to attract his attention
The first weapon in the spiritual combat is mistrust of self and humility
No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other
Christ alone is the Redeemer, but in his generosity he does not save us as isolated individuals.
The most painful experience in the spiritual life is that of the vicissitudes to which it is subject
"Simon helps Joe to understand that God does indeed have a plan, but it isn’t always one that is easily understood."
Sincerity keeps the heart open to grace. It allows us to acknowledge reality without excuses
One of the greatest obstacles to growth in the spiritual life is our tendency to hide the truth
