Opus Dei Boston Bloggers

Bill and I are members of Opus Dei living in the Boston area with our nine children and five grandchildren (fortunately not in the same house). We want to be a witness to the ordinary life members of Opus Dei lead, and to correct the crazy rumors coming from The Da Vinci Code and other places. We will often comment on THE WAY, a book by St Josemaria Escriva that was published by Doubleday last May.

THE WAY #14

"Don't waste your time and your energy — which belong to God — throwing stones at the dogs that bark at you on your way. Ignore them."

St. Josemaria gave a meditation called "Time is a Treasure". We have constant opportunities to be efficient and work hard. We also have more opportunities to waste time. Won't it be interesting at the end of our lives when we should account for the time we have been given?

I think that God wants us to love more. Did I spread love today? Make that phone call? Serve that special dessert? Did I waste my time worring about something that I can't do anything about?
