“Renew your firm resolution to live your Christian life right now, at every moment, and in all circumstances.” -St. Josemaria Escriva
When you decide firmly to lead a clean life, chastity will not be a burden on you: it will be a crown of triumph.
If obedience doesn’t give you peace, it’s because you’re proud.
You haven’t been praying? Why, because you haven’t had time? But you do have time. Furthermore, what sort of works will you be able to do if you have not meditated on them in the presence of the Lord, so as to put them in order? Without that conversation with God, how can you finish your daily work with perfection? Look, it is as if you claimed you had no time to study because you were too busy giving lessons. Without study you cannot teach well.
A new film to be made on St. Josemaria Escriva!
Don’t say, ‘That’s the way I am—its my character.’ It’s your lack of character. Esto vir!—Be a man!
St. Josemaria Escriva
Let’s be honest, when it comes to living out our faith, most of us can be complete pansies. Myself worst of all. But let’s set the bar higher! Don’t just encourage, but challenge one another to be strong men and women of faith!
