The story of two discouraged men making a long journey home after having witnessed the Lord’s grueling passion (Luke 24:13-35) is pure balm for the suffering soul, especially for any suffering in the ways St Josemaria indicates: having lost a sense of hope or of meaning in life.

The Lord wants us always to bear in mind two things: the mercy we have received, and where that mercy comes from: the Cross of Jesus.
I’d like to have a moment of your time. I’m not asking for myself, but on behalf of the Lord Jesus.

St. Josemaria took the opportunity of the Lenten season to pray more, sacrifice more, and to find ways of giving of himself more generously to those around him. For him, prayer and penance can precisely make much room for joy.
