Description
The Way by St. Josemaría Escrivá is a classic Catholic spiritual book comprising hundreds of concise maxims and points for meditation, offering practical guidance for growing in holiness amid ordinary daily life. Its main themes revolve around deepening faith through trust in God's loving providence, embracing divine filiation as children of a Father who is intimately near, and cultivating a contemplative spirit in the midst of work and worldly bustle, as seen in counsels like fostering Peter's bold faith to overcome obstacles and progressing from resignation to love of God's will. Theologically significant, it aligns with Vatican II's emphasis on the universal call to sanctity for the laity, inspiring "contemplative souls in the midst of the world" to Christianize society rather than be absorbed by it, thus supporting the Church's new evangelization.
