"Sanctity is not
rigid like cardboard: it knows how to smile,
to give way to others and to hope.
It is life - a supernatural life." - St Josemaría Escrivá
to give way to others and to hope.
It is life - a supernatural life." - St Josemaría Escrivá
" ... Jesus hides in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar
because He wants us to dare to approach Him.
because He wants us to dare to approach Him.
He
wants to nourish us
so we become one single thing with Him.
so we become one single thing with Him.
When
He said, Apart from Me you can do
nothing,
He was not condemning
Christians to ineffectiveness
or obliging them to
seek Him by a difficult and arduous route.
On the contrary ... He has stayed with us,
He is totally available to us."
On the contrary ... He has stayed with us,
He is totally available to us."

St Josemaria Escriva describes this experienceabout himself as a young seminarian...
"Why am I becoming a priest? Our Lord wants something: what is it? And in Latin — not very elegant Latin — … I kept repeating Domine, ut videam! Ut sit! Ut sit! - The thing that you want, and that I don’t know — make it happen!”
