"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."
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.
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."
He is totally available to us."
St Josemaría Escrivá

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!”
