Synopsis

Like  The Way,  Furrow  is the fruit of St. Josemarí a's rich interior life and extensive experience as a pastor. Aphoristic and perfect for meditation, Furrow was written in order to encourage and ease personal prayer. These 1000 points for spiritual reflection are directed toward the whole human person: body and soul, nature and grace. With the skillful hand of an experienced and holy priest, St. Josemarí a interweaves the divine and human and helps you see how to bring them into harmony in your own life.

One could say that he was the saint of ordinary life."
