Description
Furrow by St. Josemaría Escrivá is a book of spiritual maxims and counsels, comprising numbered points for meditation that guide readers toward a profound interior life integrated with daily realities. Its main themes include bold faith and trust in God's providence—which some mistake for imprudence—the Christian duty to elevate culture, work, family, and society with Christ's love and freedom, and the foundational sense of divine filiation that fosters prayer and heroism in ordinary life. Theologically, Furrow holds significant value in promoting the universal call to holiness among the laity, emphasizing sanctification through work and trials as a path to joy in the Cross, in harmony with Vatican II's vision for the baptized.
