St Josemaría took part in a gathering of hundreds of people in Miralba, Lima, Peru. He began by begging their pardon for his weak voice: “I don’t know if you can hear me, because I’ve got a bad cold. I’ve nearly lost my voice. But St Paul, who did not lose his voice, wrote to the faithful, ‘In novitate vitae ambulemus’ – and he says this to all of us: we have to walk in newness of life. To make it quite clear, he wrote to the Romans: ‘Induimini Dominum Iesum Christum’ – clothe yourselves in our Lord Jesus Christ. That’s what Christian life means: clothing oneself again and again in new clothes, each cleaner than the last, and more beautiful, made up of virtues that please God our Lord, of self-denial, little sacrifices, and love. Christian life is made up of saying no and saying yes. Christian life is beginning and then beginning again.”
