In the end, only the awareness that I am a beloved child of God, Author and Owner of the universe, can free me from vanity and dispersion. Vanity is a distressing concern about what others think of me. Dispersion is the absence of concrete and achievable goals in life. Thank you, Fr. Fred.
11:50 What a overall vision did Josemaría have……upon being hidden in a Honduran Consulate with his companions in a very awkward enclosed confined spaces, he starts to suggest to the others to start to learn a particular language for future outreach endeavours. Could you imagine what resources were available at that time…..language books would of been scarce….spoken language recordings was non-existent, tutors very hard to come by……it really was a case of the impossible. Yet, Josemaría didn’t let such limitations abandon the plans for Opus Dei……remarkable…..really! The lesson here is how well prepared am I to evangelise others (when a time comes up), what little thing today am I working on to work towards that reality. Josemaría and his companions had very little resources but I…..today am overwhelmed with resources (so when am I starting?). Thank you for this video.
