So school is absolutely crazy. I've been in midterms for the past three weeks. Definitely the most intense semester academically I've faced yet. And honestly--the most intense spiritually as well. But I can't complain about that.
The next three weekends are going to blow my mind with retreats, pilgrimages, staying in convents and visiting monasteries and shrines...plus my best friend from high school is coming into town. Things are looking up.
In Father Baker's homily yesterday, he spoke a lot about giving thanks to God. He said that after a good day where nothing was difficult or nothing went wrong that St. Josemaria Escriva would ask God what he did wrong that day, why he wasn't given any crosses, why he wasn't asked to imitate Christ. Let us thank God each day we are given to suffer, for it is in that way we are best united with our Beloved.
"Place Christ at the heart of all human activities by means of work that is sanctified, and sanctifies both the doer and those for whom it is done."
~St. Josemaria Escriva
