I advise you to lead a life of thanksgiving. All that we have, whether much or little, we owe to God. Nothing good comes from ourselves. If ever you find yourselves filling up with pride, raise your eyes to heaven and you will see that anything noble and clean that is in you, you owe to God.
St. Josemaría,
Notes taken during his preaching,
