About This Quote

Saint Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer is perhaps one of the most influential Catholic saints of the 20th century. He is responsible for founding the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, which has grown into one of the largest religious organizations in the world. The priest was quite well known for his use of paradoxes, and this quote is no exception. It is a statement that contradicts itself, but it is also true in all aspects.
