God gives a third dimension to life, without supernatural meaning all works become fruitless, Silence, sanctity is more attainable than learning, develop interior life to see fully, be good but see everyone else as better, Conversion once sanctification forever, how sweet to be in grace of God, seek only to please God, enter the wounds of Christ crucified, improve your daily conduct, Rectify daily.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Behave in the presence of God your Father, stop to consider decisions in the presence of God, live as if God is always close by our side, lift your heart to God & thank him for everything, enter every tabernacle you see & invoke Mary, discover more tabernacles, may Jesus be our aim/Love/theme/model, use every method to stay in presence of God, the Holy Spirit is always with you, be proud as son of God, give fellow humans a good example, seek union with Mary to Jesus weekly, the lonely Cross is calling for a pair of shoulders to bear it, live in the presence of God.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá 

Get rid of scruples that prevent peace, obey your Director & don't underestimate the Lord, get rid of gloominess, bless God, stop thinking of your fall- easy occasion of further temptation, don't lose heart, Surge/arise/walk & get to work.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Be definite, correct small deviations, make few resolutions, want to be a saint, Tomorrow is utterance of the defeated, recall your shame in God's glory, do your duty now, return to noble life now, seek the hardest tasks & be happy here, stick to your resolutions, Wake Up from lukewarmness.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Examen = daily bookkeeping for business of eternal life, beware devil that ties your tongue, examine courageously, General = defense & Particular examen = attack, learn from past, keep asking for light, replace predominant defect with definite virtue, pay your debts to God's grace with tears of love-sorrow, be faithful in little things then bigger, listen to Holy Spirit, use days of recollection for thorough examen, always end with Act of Love.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Treat your body as enemy, harsh as enemy of God's glory, limits of good times, joy in suffering & light in darkness, goodness in suffering, Fast frequently, 1000 good motives for making penance, but don't do more than Director allows, ennoble suffering.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Cry kingly tears, lose fear of suffering to be happy on earth, give up this life for That Life, bless the sufferings that bring purification, Alms go beyond physical well-being, voluntary atonement for grace in trials, Will > senses, constant self-denial, do not fear the penance far more useful than surgery, your greatest enemy is Self.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Bless/love/sanctify/glorify pain, Rejoice in hope/ patience in troubles/ patient in prayer, Atonement, learn to draw strength from falls & death from life, purify yourself to see pure light of love, do not complain while meeting suffering on the way, make your body slave not the reverse, do not fear atonement with God,

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Humble yourself when more is asked of you, punish yourself as you would an enemy-brother, bitter suffering here is salt of life, bear pinpricks of each day with Christian spirit, live heroically ordinary life with small struggles, Heroic Minute - give supernatural reflection when you wake, give thanks for holy abhorrence of self.

---

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Conquer yourself immediately every morning after waking, propose the salvation of a particular soul, get rid of self-pity, appreciate treasures on earth of hunger/thirst/pain/poverty/betrayal/slander, your soul & body are enemies who can't get along, give the body less than its due, let them witness your penance, tolerate others' faults but not your own, you as grain of wheat must die to be fruitful, conquer your Pride.
