St. Josemaria Escriva is the found of Opus Dei, the Catholic Apostolate that as been vilified by Dan Brown (DaVinci Code). St. Josemaria's life was dedicated to preaching the Gospel and directing Catholics to live the Gospel in their state of life. Bring Christ to others in what you do in the course of a day.
"I don't understand how you can call yourself a Christian and lead such an idle life. Have you forgotten Christ's life of toil?" (The Way, 356) Fr. Escriva taught that we must work hard physically and spiritually. Our culture certainly seems remiss in both areas.
One Good Shepherd mom showed me a copy of St. Josemaria's The Way, which was compact enough to fit in a pocket. If you need something that you can carry with you when Scripture is not practical, think about this book. Your soul will thank you.
