Opus Dei

For Christians, the value of sacrifice is hidden in a meek and humble desire to be associated with Jesus' suffering in his Passion, and to free the heart from all that shackles it, aspiring to a lighter, brighter, freer life.

The reason Christians are willing to go against their desires, fast, and make sacrifices for others; the reason they are able to bear suffering with joy, without making too much of it, is that they do not want to leave the Lord alone with the weight of the world’s evil and suffering.

Only God is greater than our heart, and therefore only He can heal it and reconcile it to its depths. The sixth installment in the "Combat, Closeness, Mission" series.

Entering into paths of contemplation means realizing that we need God, to the point of needing to "wrestle" with him... And to ask him, again and again, for his blessing: "I will not let go until you bless me."

Any sport requires effort, but it brings enjoyment and opens up new possibilities. So it is with the Christian life: in the midst of combat and struggle, we can enjoy being with the Lord, growing and facing new challenges with Him.

For a Christian, Heaven is always just around the corner: life is at once a journey and a destination.

The first chapter of a new series on the path to holiness, an adventure in which it is not only about "giving" but, above all, "receiving."
