"Days on retreat. Recollection in order to know yourself and thus to make progress. A necessary time for discovering where and how you should change your life. What should I do? What should I avoid?"
—St. Josemaria Escriva, Furrow, #177

"God waits for us every day in all the immense panorama of work. Understand this well: there is something holy, something divine, hidden in the most ordinary situations and it is up to each one of you to discover it... Either we learn to find our Lord in ordinary, every life, or else we shall never find Him."  
—Conversations with St. Josemaria Escriva, #114
