If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that's all right, everything is all right. We must say, "I belong to you. You can do whatever you like." And this is our strength, and this is the joy of the Lord. – Bl.

My friend had a vineyard on a fertile hillside; he spaded it, cleared it of stones, and planted the choicest vines; within it he built a watchtower, and hewed out a wine press.

Are you seriously trying to convince me – and to convince yourself – that you will be able to win in the supernatural Olympics without daily preparation, without training? – St. Josemaria Escriva, The Way, #822 http://therock.blogdrive.com/comments?id=155 http://therock.blogdrive.com/archive/154.html Sat, 24 Sep 2005 08:39:43 GMT Present sorrow and suffering is the way to glory, the way to the kingdom. – St. Bernard http://therock.blogdrive.com/comments?id=154 http://therock.blogdrive.com/archive/153.html Wed, 21 Sep 2005 04:43:49 GMT We have received baptism, entrance into the Church, and the honor of being called Christians. Yet what good will this do us if we are Christians in name only and not in fact? – St. Andrew Kim Taegon http://therock.blogdrive.com/comments?id=153 http://therock.blogdrive.com/archive/152.html Tue, 20 Sep 2005 07:50:20 GMT Interior Struggle The world, the flesh and the devil are a band of adventurers who take advantage of the weakness of that savage you bear within you, and want you to hand over to them, in exchange for the glittering tinsel of a pleasure – which is worth nothing, – the pure gold and the pearls and the diamonds and rubies drenched in the life– blood of your GodRedeemer, which are the price and the treasure of your eternity. – St. Josemaria Escriva, The Way, #708 http://therock.blogdrive.com/comments?id=152 http://therock.blogdrive.com/archive/151.html Tue, 20 Sep 2005 07:44:08 GMT Remember that the Christian life is one of action; not of speech and daydreams.
