A Spiritual Backpack: Inspiration for the School Year
“You must study… but that is not enough. One has to study… to gain the world and conquer it for God. Then we can raise the level of our efforts: we can try to turn the work we do into an encounter with the Lord and the foundation to support those who will follow our way in the future. In this way, study will become prayer.”
