Either we learn to find the Lord in the ordinary everyday life or else we shall never find him
Josemaria EscrivaAll the things that are now worrying you can be put into a smile which shows your love of God.
Josemaria EscrivaWhen you approach the tabernacle remember that he has been waiting for you for twenty centuries.
Josemaria EscrivaChristian optimism is not a sugary optimism, nor is it a mere human confidence that everything will turn out all right. It is an optimism that sinks its roots into an awareness of our freedom, and the sure knowledge of the power of grace. It is an optimism that leads us to make demands on ourselves, to struggle to respond at every moment to God's call.
