“We have to feel the desire that God, who is Love, should be loved. We have to thank him for giving himself to us, because people in general don’t thank him, and we – you and I – will never be able to thank him enough. Gather the roses along the way, though they have thorns too, and present them to our Lord. Away with sensuality, which clips the wings of love, away with selfishness, away with self-indulgence…!” said Saint Josemaría in 1974.
