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
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.
"Simon helps Joe to understand that God does indeed have a plan, but it isn’t always one that is easily understood."
Pride or shame can close our lips precisely when we most need to open them.
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
The only adequate response to the ongoing gift of life is gratitude.
"Service reveals true human flourishing through daily acts of love for Christ."
It calls us to recognise the truth of our relationship with God: He is our Father
Prayer becomes laborious, the truths of faith no longer move us as they once did
We think we need every question answered. Our brains tell us we do. We don’t.
We should therefore be careful about allowing our present self-image to become a prison
There are many ways of looking at the same reality.
We should have many friends and learn to take a genuine interest in the people around us.
“Please God,” I prayed, “Show me the truth, but don’t let the truth be Catholic!”
