In this final meditation of our 3-part series on St. Josemaria's homily, Getting to Know God, Msgr. Martin Schlag reminds us that to truly know God is to love him more deeply. As we grow in friendship with Christ and recognize ourselves as beloved children of the Father, we are invited to become contemplatives in the midst of our daily lives, allowing God's love to transform every thought, action, and relationship. Msgr. Schlag encourages us to establish a spiritual plan of life to deepen our prayer and to respond generously to the Father by loving him above all things. Listen and reflect on: • Growing in friendship with God • Loving God with an undivided heart • Holiness through daily fidelity • Responding to the Father's love • Establishing a spiritual plan of life Read the full text of St. Josemaria’s homily, “Getting to Know God”, online here.
