With God's grace, you have to tackle and carry out the impossible, because anybody can do what is possible. - Josemaría Escrivá

For everyone, whatever his state — single, married, widowed or priest — chastity is a triumphant affirmation of love.

Gold, silver, jewels: dust, heaps of manure. Gratification, sensual pleasures, satisfaction of the appetites: like a beast, like a mule, like a cock, like a pig, like a bull. Honours, distinctions, titles: things of air, puffs of pride, lies, nothingness.

It is easier to bustle about than to study, but it is also less effective.
