"I want to recommend to you in a special way the Rosary, a source of profound Christian life. Try to pray it every day, alone or with your family, repeating with great faith those basic prayers of the Christian: the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Glory be to the Father. Meditate on those scenes of the life of Jesus and Mary of which the joyful, sorrowful and glorious mysteries remind us. Thus you will learn in the joyful mysteries to think of Jesus who became poor and lowly, a child, for our sake, to serve us. You will feel encouraged to serve your neighbour in his needs. In the sorrowful mysteries you will realize that accepting the sufferings of this life with docility and love, like Christ in his Passion, leads to happiness and joy which is expressed in the glorious mysteries of Christ and Mary in the hope of eternal life".

All of us are blessed to be in a good Catholic site and share the Catholic faith. I would like to introduce to all of you St. Josemaría Escrivá´s spirituality. Escrivá´s teachings have helped me a lot to be a better person, a better Catholic man.

Obviously, one of the priorities of any Catholic person should be to nourish his/her faith. This could be done by all and each one of you using the works of St. Josemaría- These works are easy to find at escrivaworks.org online. The Way, Furrow, Holy Rosary, The Way of the Cross, The Forge, Christ is Passing By, Friends of God, all can be read for free in this website. You may use any of these works for your daily mental prayer. This is the way of nourishing our faith. If we do mental prayer every morning, our life will surely change for the better: it will provide us a better attitude in order to overcome pains, surrows, difficulties, the struggle of life during the day. We will gradually learn to have presence of God throughout the day.

We will be better equipped in order to fight temptations, so to adapt our will to God´s will, so to avoid sin. Let´s remember the universal call to holiness and apostolate.

I would like to have your comments, and/or questions. There are a lot of ideas to be discussed from what I just told you.

YBIC,

Jorge
