Prayers - Through the Saints

During a war, the courage of the soldiers facing the enemy would be of little use
if there were not others who seem to take no part in the struggle
but who supply the fighting men with armament and food and medicine.....
Without the prayer and sacrifice of many souls there would be no genuine apostolate of action.

-- St. Josemaria Escriva, The Forge #664

This ideal of warring, and winning, with Christ's weapons will only become a reality through prayer and sacrifice, through faith and Love.
Well, then: pray, believe, suffer, Love!  -- St. Josemaria Escriva, The Forge #639
When you are told what to do, let no one show more alacrity than you in obeying; whether it is hot or cold, whether you feel keen or are tired, whether you are young or less so, it makes no odds. Someone who 'does not know how to obey' will never learn to command.  -- St. Josemaria Escriva, The Forge #627
You have to obey- and you have to command- always with great love.  -- St. Josemaria Escriva, The Forge #629
Our life- a Christian's life- has to be as ordinary as this: trying every day to do well those very things it is our duty to do; carrying out our divine mission in the world by fulfilling the little duty of each moment. Or rather, struggling to fulfill it. Sometimes we don't manage, and when night comes, in our examination, we'll have to tell Our Lord, 'I am not offering you virtues; today I can only offer you defects. But with your grace I will be able to count myself a victor.'  -- St. Josemaria Escriva, The Forge #616

To Chaplains

You have a great responsibility. People serving in the military have to be ready mentally, physically, and spiritually. That's one-third of it right there. And if that's missing, I see catastrophe. It's a very rigorous responsibility taking care of the spiritual part of it. And actively taking care of it.

--Maj Gen. James J. McMonagle
