The Urgency of Being Fully Formed

One of the most inspiring, and hopeful passages in St. Paul is in his letter to Timothy, where he gives him pastoral instruction in dealing with the people of God. 1 Tim 2, 4: God desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. It is our dream. To be illuminated by the truth itself. St. Josemaria Escriva said in Furrow 221: Be sure of this: you need to be fully formed to face the rush of people that is going to press upon us with a specific and urgent question: “Well then, what’s to be done?” What does it mean to be fully formed?
