01-004 Christ is Passing By

A collection of eighteen sermons written by Saint Josemaría according to the liturgical festivals. From these sermons, he narrated the intimacy between the most ordinary and human taste of a Christian and the most transcendent God. He said: "When we Christians do with love the countless little things of the day, they are filled with the transcendence of God. The Christian vocation is to turn the dull prose of the day into a page of heroic poetry. .Heaven and earth seem to meet on a horizontal line, but when you sanctify your everyday life, they actually meet in the depths of your heart.”

This collection of St Josemaría's homilies is perfect for individual spiritual reading. In these homilies for Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and other highlights of the liturgical year, St Josemaría consistently emphasizes the great truth that your most ordinary, human interests can and should reflect the presence and transcendence of God, and that you should strive always to sanctify every detail of your daily life.
