Walking with St. Josemaria Escriva

About this book

What if the most sacred place in your life isn't a church; it's your desk? Most of us have been quietly told, without anyone saying it directly, that holiness belongs somewhere else. To monks and missionaries. To people with more time, more talent, more faith. Not to someone with a commute and deadlines and a life full of ordinary Tuesdays. St. Josemaria Escriva disagreed. Completely. Walking with St. Josemaria Escriva is a 21-day prayer journey that will change the way you see every single hour of your working day. Drawing from the revolutionary spirituality of one of the Catholic Church's most beloved modern saints, this devotional takes you by the hand and walks you into a truth that will quietly transform your life: God is not waiting for you to finish your work. He is in it. Over 21 carefully crafted daily devotions, you will know: -Why your hands, doing ordinary work, are literally His hands in the world-How to pray without leaving your desk, your kitchen, or your car-The secret to finding deep peace in repetitive, thankless, invisible work-Why beginning again after failure is not a weakness; it is the mark of a saint-How cheerfulness, humility, and perseverance become your most powerful spiritual tools-What it truly means to offer your day to God and why it changes everything This is not a book for people who have their spiritual life together. It is a book for people who are tired, busy, imperfect, and wondering whether any of it matters to God.It does. Each devotion is short enough to read before your day begins and deep enough to carry you through it. You will finish each one not with a list of religious obligations but with a single, quiet conviction that the next hour; this ordinary, unremarkable next hour; is exactly where God wants to meet you. St. Josemaria Escriva was canonized in 2002 before hundreds of thousands of people in Rome. But he built his entire life's work on a simple, radical idea: that you don't have to leave your life to find God. You just have to look more carefully at the life you already have. These 21 days will teach you how. Grab your copy today and finally stop feeling like your everyday life is too small for God. It never was.
