Overview

God intends nothing less than sainthood for you! The early Church held that all believers could achieve holiness. Over time, this conviction was largely forgotten. Sainthood seemed to be an honor only Intended for a select few among priests and religious. Eric Sammones tells how twentieth-century Spanish priest - and canonized saint - josemaría Escrivá, the founder of Opus Dei, recovered the message of the universal call to holiness. Declared "the saint of ordinary life" by Bl. Pope John Paul II, St. Josemaría developed a spirituality directed toward the sanctity of every man and woman. His legacy is the belief that each of us can, by God's grace, achieve holiness through the course of our ordinary life and work. The heart of Sammons' practical guide to the spiritual life is a detailed examination of the steps in St. Josemaría's thoughtful plan for building a saintly life in spite of your hectic work and home life - in a world filled with distractions and temptations. Strive for your own personal holiness as you implement your daily plan to: Be a Contemplative in the Midst of a Busy World Live a Life of Prayer Recognize the Presence of God Make a Plan of Life Make Your Work a Way to Heaven Holiness for Everyone will inspire you as it sets you on the path to sainthood.
