Sanctity is not for a privileged few...

"Sanctity is not for a privileged few. The Lord calls all of us. He expects love from all of us—from everyone, wherever they are; from everyone, whatever their state in life, their profession or job. For the daily life we live, apparently so ordinary, can be a path to sanctity: it is not necessary to abandon one's place in the world in order to search for God...because all the paths of the earth can be the occasion for an encounter with Christ". (Letter 24-III-1930, n. 2)




Here are few great resources to learn more about my sweet "grandfather" St. Josemaria.
I grew up with St.Josemaria as a dear grandfather. My father and Godfather were blessed enough to meet him,  shake his hand and hear his words. 
We are blessed enough to have his works to do just that.. sanctify our life for our sainthood..
