Get acquainted with God, become a bonfire, unworthy yet son of God, becomes Child for us, hope is not in vain, Ask & you shall receive, Make notes during day, special prayers of children & of the sick, don't change prayer either because consoling or dry, ask for Perseverance.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Action needs prayer, Prayer > atonement > action, all-powerful foundation of spiritual edifice, Our Father, slowly, Liturgical > private choice, bread & Word, friends let you down but not the Friend, Mary's approach > Martha's, put yourself in presence of God.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Admire purity, don't imperil priests, speak well of them, way to love God, mantle of charity, get Plan of Life, only monotony without Love, get up at fixed time, Order with virtue, time will multiply.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Laymen disciples, you need Director, for your soul, don't hide from his counsel, lose fear of being known, Priest always another Christ, do not touch my Christs, venerate the priesthood, do not make fun of any priests, it's poor taste.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Obedience + readiness, get to know the Holy Spirit, don't hinder Paraclete, your own mind = bad adviser, build palace of sanctification with Director.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Learn Discretion, remove your bitter failures from criticism of others, throw them away, do Not Compromise, don't put brothers on the spot.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

False profundity, finish a project, don't be touchy, scale heights of duty, persevere in doing good, equality can be injustice, don't act self-satisfied, sacrifice > curiosity & ostentation, Hold your tongue, acquire true knowledge.

---

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Selfish, help fellow men, get to heart of matters, don't be afraid of truth, fake prudence is cowardice, don't shirk duty, don't justify falsely, men > bellies, don't be satisfied with easy, Faith.

Excuses, be firm, do more, ambitious for Christ, don't argue, Matrimony is holy sacrament, pure vocation, marriage for children, egoistic happiness, give yourself without reserve.

---

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Willpower, overcome obstacles, eradicate useless thoughts, don't waste time, don't put off work, be a Leader, avoid superficiality, face your cowardice, Deny yourself, friction forms Character.
