"It is in the simplicity of your ordinary work, in the monotonous details of each day, that you have to find the secret, which is hidden from so many, of something great and new: Love.”
(Saint Josemaría)
"A few weeks ago, my wife suggested that we pray a novena regarding my unemployment. After searching for a novena online, I found the 'Novena for Work to Saint Josemaria Escriva.'"
"Early last year my wife helped to prepare a Mass in honour of Saint Josemaria at Saint Charles Lwanga Cathedral in Kisii (a community of Bantu people in southwestern Kenya)."
A short video with selections from Saint Josemaria's preaching that illustrate what he means by "sanctifying our work" and striving to find God in our work and daily life.
On October 8, 1967, Saint Josemaria gave a homily at an outdoor Mass on the campus of the University of Navarra that contains the core of his message on sanctifying daily life.
For the feast day of Saint Josemaria on June 26, we offer an article by Cardinal Albino Luciani (later Pope John Paul I), published in "Il Gazzettino" (Venice), July 25, 1978, one month before he was elected Pope.
