2 October 1928: “The history of the mercies of God”
On 2 October 1928, St. Josemaría Escrivá saw what God was asking of him: to remind women and men that holiness is possible in the middle of ordinary life. That message continues to “light up the pathways of the earth” nearly a century later.

"A Christian can never turn a blind eye to a neighbour's needs. ...Not only should we be acutely conscious personally of our neighbour's material needs, but we als try to get others to be equally concerned, so that they don't act selfishly and turn their backs on sorrow, loneliness and misfortune."

(CCC, nos. 2444 & 2448) And this is a fire she has sought to kindle in each of her children through space and time.
“Come back, pick up the cross and follow Jesus”
Jesus called James and John “sons of thunder”. James must have been a powerful preacher. When King Herod wanted to please the Jews by executing a church leader, he chose this apostle and had his head cut off.
