Sacrifice and Solidarity

Katerina Ivanovna has a wonderful post on the need for daily sacrifices over at Vox Nova: Vox Nova - Catholic Perspectives on Culture, Society, and Politics: Sacrifice and Solidarity

The quote from St. Josemaría Escrivá is especially poignant:

What a sad little happiness you will have if you don't learn to overcome yourself, if you let your passions and fancies dominate and crush you, instead of courageously taking up your cross! (Friends of God, 129)
