The Holy Mass in the Christian’s Life

To “live” the holy Mass means to pray continually, and to be convinced that, for each one of us, this is a personal meeting with God. We adore him, we praise him, we give thanks to him, we atone for our sins, we are purified, we experience a unity with Christ and with all Christians.

Finding Joy in Our Poverty

How much is holy poverty a driving force on your path to Christ? For the first disciples of Jesus, as for the Saints of every age, poverty is a privileged way of identifying oneself with the “affections” of Christ.

The Blessed Virgin, Cause of Our Joy | A Homily by St. Josemaria Escriva

Discovering Something Divine in the Ordinary

St Josemaria concentrated much of his apostolic drive in convincing ordinary Christians that being ordinary is okay. But his message was not one of mere contentment with everyday life or of shunning the wealth and fame typically associated with “extraordinary” people.

Living in Hope: Saints Joachim and Anne

Nothing disappoints more than misplaced hope. And maybe nothing is easier to misplace than our hope. From time to time we are all tempted to put our hopes for happiness, even for a kind of salvation, in people whom we idealize or future circumstances we imagine will be perfect.

Freedom, A Gift from God | A Homily by St. Josemaria Escriva

This hymn to freedom is echoed in all the mysteries of our Catholic faith. The Blessed Trinity draws the world and man out of nothing, in a free outpouring of love. The Word comes down from Heaven and takes on our flesh, an act which bears the splendid mark of freedom in submission.

A MOMENT TO PAUSE & REFLECT WITH ST. JOSEMARIA

“At times, someone has told me: ‘Father, I feel tired and cold; when I pray or fulfill some other norm of piety, I seem to be acting out a farce...’ 

To that friend, and to you, if you are in the same boat, I answer: A farce? —What an excellent thing, my child! Act out that farce! The Lord is your audience — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Blessed Trinity is contemplating us in those moments when we are ‘acting out a farce.’

Acting like that in front of God, out of love, in order to please him, when our whole life goes against the grain: how splendid, to be God’s juggler!

How marvelous it is to play one’s part for Love, with sacrifice, without any personal satisfaction, just in order to please Our Lord!

❤️ —That indeed is to live for Love.” // The Forge, no. 485
