This Day in Opus Dei. October 8, 1967. "Passionately Loving the World" *
On October 8, 1967, Saint Josemaria gave a homily at an outdoor Mass on the campus of the University of Navarre that contains the core of his message on sanctifying daily life.
"I assure you, my sons and daughters, that when a Christian carries out with love the most insignificant everyday action, that action overflows with the transcendence of God. That is why I have told you repeatedly and hammered away once and again on the idea that the Christian vocation consists of making heroic verse out of the prose of each day. Heaven and earth seem to merge, my sons and daughters, on the horizon. But where they really meet is in your hearts, when you sanctify your everyday lives."
