@StEscrivaOpus
Account dedicated to the dissemination of the works THE WAY, FURROW, and THE FORGE written by Saint Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer.
Today, June 26, 2024, we celebrate the feast day of St. Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer, founder of Opus Dei. Therefore, we are inaugurating this account to share daily reflections from his works "The Way", "Furrow", and "The Forge". May his words inspire our daily lives!
497. Let us work. Let us work a lot and work well, without forgetting that prayer is our best weapon. That is why I will never tire of repeating that we have to be contemplative souls in the middle of the world, who try to convert their work into prayer. #Furrow
497. Say to her: Mother, my Mother — yours, because you are hers on many counts — may your love bind me to your Son's Cross: may I not lack the Faith, nor the courage, nor the daring, to carry out the will of our Jesus. #TheWay
496. What a pleasure it is to contemplate John, leaning his head on Christ’s breast! – It is like giving up one’s intelligence lovingly, difficult though this is, to let it be set on fire by the flame of the Heart of Jesus. #Forge
496. Here is a mission for ordinary Christians which is heroic and will always be relevant to the present day: to carry out in a holy way all different kinds of occupations even those that might seem least promising. #Furrow
495. You asked what you could offer the Lord.—I don’t have to think twice about the answer: offer the same things as before, but do them better, finishing them off with a loving touch that will lead you to think more about Him and less about yourself. #Furrow
495. We go to Jesus — and we 'return' to him — through Mary. #TheWay
494. How well I understand that question put by a soul in love with God: “Have I made any grimace of distaste, has there been anything in me which could, my Lord, my Love, have hurt you?” Ask your Father God to grant us that constant requirement to love. #Forge
494. By neglecting small details you could work on and on without rest and yet live the life of a perfect idler. #Furrow
493. You cannot sanctify work which humanly speaking is slapdash, for we must not offer God badly-done jobs. #Furrow
