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.

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.

“Mary, the holy Mother of our king, the queen of “Mary, the holy Mother of our king, the queen of our heart, looks after us as only she knows how. Mother of mercy, throne of grace: we ask you to help us compose, verse by verse, the simple poem of charity in our own life and the lives of the people around us; it is ‘like a river of peace.’ For you are a sea of inexhaustible mercy: ‘All streams run to the sea, but the sea is never full.’”

St. Josemaria Escriva
Christ is Passing By, no 187

Today is the feast of Our Lady of Mercy (September 24). 

Among other places, she is the patroness of Barcelona where great festivities are held each year. The title of Our Lady of Mercy came to hold a special place in St. Josemaria’s memory and heart. He made a habit of visiting the Basilica of Our Lady of Mercy to seek her protection and intercession—a tradition continued by his successors and spiritual children in Opus Dei.
