From June 17-25, the St. Josemaria Institute is sh From June 17-25, the St. Josemaria Institute is sharing the daily prayers of the “Novena to St. Josemaria Escriva” in preparation for his feast day on June 26. Pray with us! 
___ 
DAY FOUR 
“My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.” (Proverbs 23:26) 
REFLECTION | Friends of God, no. 211 
“Jesus is not satisfied with a wavering assent. He expects, and has a right to expect, that we advance resolutely, unyielding in the face of difficulties. He demands that we take firm, specific steps; because, as a rule, general resolutions are just fallacious illusions, created to silence the divine call which sounds within our hearts. They produce a futile flame that neither burns nor gives warmth, but dies out as suddenly as it began. You will convince me that you sincerely want to achieve your goals when I see you go forward unwaveringly. Do good and keep reviewing your basic attitudes to the jobs that occupy you each moment. Practice the virtue of justice, right where you are, in your normal surroundings, even though you may end up exhausted. Foster happiness among those around you by cheerfully serving the people you work with and by striving to carry out your job as perfectly as you can, showing understanding, smiling, having a Christian approach to life. And do everything for God, thinking of his glory, with your sights set high and longing for the definitive homeland, because there is no other goal worthwhile.” 
PRAYER TO ST. JOSEMARIA 
Please see the carousel above for the concluding prayer. 
Our Father… 
Hail Mary… 
Glory be… 
St. Josemaria, pray for us!
