Spanish Saint

Thursday, January 26th, 2006

All right, you’ve all got to read “The Way,” by this guy:
St. Josemaria Escriva

It’s a small collection of aphorisms designed to help us all live our lives to the greater glory of God. A lot of them are so blunt that you can almost see the author’s finger pointing out of the book at you. Reading a few pages has the feel of scrubbing the sinful crust off your heart with a wire brush. Or a belt sander. I think I’ll be quoting from it on a semi-regular basis, but for now, I’ll leave you with the picture.
