“Sanctity is not for a privileged few…” | Summer Appeal 2026
Up until about eight years ago, I knew almost nothing about St. Josemaria Escriva.
But, as I was introduced to his life and spirituality through the St. Josemaria Institute, I discovered a saintly friend who encouraged me in my own path toward holiness.
St. Josemaria reminded me that, “sanctity is not for a privileged few—the Lord calls all of us.”
His writings challenged me to live each day with greater purpose and intention, to pursue my work more diligently, and, above all, to seek Our Lord in all things.
This summer, I had the opportunity to pray at the tomb of St. Josemaria in Rome–offering a prayer of gratitude for the way St. Josemaria has interceded for me over the years and praying for each of you—our friends and supporters—who help make our mission possible.
Each day, thousands of men and women from around the world turn to the St. Josemaria Institute for spiritual inspiration.
Your generous support enables us to develop new content and products that foster devotion to St. Josemaria and inspire men and women in their daily prayer and conversation with God.
As we celebrate our 20th Anniversary, will you make a one-time or monthly gift today to ensure our spiritual resources can remain free and accessible to all?
Together, with your support, we can continue to share the enduring message of St. Josemaria Escriva:
“Sanctity isn’t something for a privileged few. God calls all of us to be holy, to love Him—everyone, no matter where they are, no matter what their state, profession or job. Our ordinary everyday life, devoid of human glamour, can be a path to holiness.”
Sincerely,
