Quotations from Saint Josemaria
The miracle of faith
As well as having given you abundant and effective grace, the Lord has given you a brain, a pair of hands and intellectual powers so that your talents may yield fruit.
God wants to work miracles all the time – to raise the dead, make the deaf hear, restore sight to the blind, enable the lame to walk... – through your sanctified professional work, which you will have turned into a holocaust that is both pleasing to God and useful to souls.
The Forge 984
We lack faith. The day we practice this virtue, trusting in God and in his Mother, we will be daring and loyal. God, who is the same God as ever, will work miracles through our hands.
Grant me, dear Jesus, the faith I truly desire. My Mother, sweet Lady, Mary most holy, make me really believe.
The Forge 235
God’s ordinary providence is a continual miracle; but He will use extraordinary means when they are required.
The Forge 658
I’m not miracle-minded. As I’ve told you, I can find more than enough miracles in the holy Gospel to confirm my faith.
But I can’t help pitying those Christians, many of them pious people, “apostles” even, who smile when people speak of extraordinary ways, supernatural events. I feel the urge to tell them: Yes, this is still the age of miracles. We too would work them if we had enough faith!
