Be Frank with God

Through this gift of divine filiation, Christ completely destroyed the barriers that separate men from one other by bridging the distance between heaven and earth and between his creatures. God came so close to man as to become one of us. By taking on our nature, the Word joined human and divine in himself. Now, as St. Paul says, "there is neither Jew nor Greek, neither slave nor freeman, neither...

“I am happy…for I see that the Lord is seeking me again, that the Lord is still my Father. We are loved by God, and we will let the Holy Spirit act in us and purify us, so that we can embrace the Son of God on the cross, and rise with him, because the resurrection is rooted in the cross” ( Christ is Passing By , no. 66).

Meditate with St. Josemaría An apostle — that is what a Christian is, when he knows that he has been grafted onto Christ, made one with Christ, in baptism.

I had always heard about the importance of knowing the faith, of having faith, of keeping the faith. Isn’t that what grandmothers used to say when things weren’t going so well? At least mine did.

During the first years of my life — those years when, they say, one’s personality is formed — my grandmother taught me to pray...
