THE SAINT OF ORDINARY LIFE
Josemaría Escrivá, priest and founder of Opus Dei, spread the universal call to
holiness. He preached: "Your ordinary contact with God takes place where your
fellow men, your yearnings, your work and your affections are. There you have
your daily encounter with Christ."

WHO WAS HE?

This 7-minute video describes the life of Saint Josemaría Escrivá, who spread
the call to holiness in daily life and was called the "saint of the ordinary" by
John Paul II. "We have to be contemplative souls in the middle of the world, who
strive to turn our work into prayer," he often said. "Married people, single
people, workers, intellectuals, farmers... right where they are can and should
be good children of God."

 * “Jesus, here is John the Milkman”
   
   When St. Josemaria was a young parish priest, there was a milkman who entered
   his Church every morning for a few seconds. “Jesus, here is John the

   (Weekly Video: 01’21’’).

passage of today’s Mass, every day. The author of the App explains what led her
to produce it and how it works.

Books by St Josemaria

 * The Way
   
   Read these counsels slowly. Pause to meditate on these thoughts. They are
   things that I whisper in your ear—confiding them—as a friend, as a brother,
   as a father. And they are being heard by God.”

 * Furrow
   
   In a note to a 1950 edition of The Way, Saint Josemaría promised readers a
   new book —Furrow—soon to be published. The material was written and organized
   into chapter headings; only the numbering of the points of meditation and a
   stylistic revision remained

 * The Forge
   
   This book, a compilation of spiritual annotations of Josemaría Escrivá
   appearing in 1987, completes the trilogy aimed at facilitating personal
   prayer that began with The Way and continued with Furrow

 * Friends of God
   
   A canticle to ordinary life, addressed to ordinary Christians, about the
   extraordinary surprise God has in store for them. This compilation was the
   first posthumous work of Saint Josemaría

 * Christ is Passing By
   
   An audio version of "Christ's Death is the Christian's Life," from "Christ is
   Passing By."

 * Holy Rosary
   
   One December morning in 1931, Fr. Josemaría dashed off this small book in one
   sitting, just after celebrating Mass. He poured into these pages an example
   of his way of meditating the mysteries of the life of Jesus and Mary, and of
   reciting the Rosary. Parting with his reader, he confides, “My friend: I have
   told you just part of my secret. It is up to you, with God’s help, to
   discover the rest. Take courage. Be faithful. Become little (...) If you say
   the Rosary in this way, you will learn to pray well.”

Message of the day


“SERVICE, MY CHILDREN, SERVICE: THAT IS OUR ROLE”

In the middle of the rejoicing at the feast in Cana, only Mary notices that they
are short of wine. A soul will notice even the smallest details of service if,
like her, it is alive with a passion for helping its neighbour, for God.
(Furrow, 631)

Service, my children, service: that is our role; to be ‘servants to all, so that
in our days the faithful people may grow in merit and in number’.

Let us turn our eyes towards Mary. No creature ever surrendered herself to the
plans of God more humbly than she. The humility of the ancilla Domini, the
handmaid of the Lord, is the reason we invoke her as causa nostrae …
