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 #21


"Excuses. You will always find plenty if you want to avoid your obligations. What a profusion of well-thought-out nonsense!
Don't stop to consider it. Dismiss it and do your duty."


You can imagine how hard I laughed when I read point #21 after not making an entry in two years! 

I have a number of good excuses. I could begin with two weddings and four grandchildren. There are two more weddings and at least one more grandchild before September. 

There really aren't any excuses for loving less than we are able. We all have opportunities to spread love and we will have to answer for our missed opportunities.
