When you get no applause on earth, your work will be all the more welcome in Heaven!
~Saint Josemaría Escrivá - taken from "The Forge" - # 962


Prayer does not demand that we interrupt our work, but that we continue working as if it were a prayer. It is not necessary to always be meditating, nor to consciously experience the sensation that we are talking to God, no matter how nice this would be. What matters is being with him, living in Him, in His Will. To love with a pure heart, to love everybody, especially to love the poor, is a twenty-four-hour prayer!
~Mother Teresa of Calcutta
