Mí­stica 'ojalatera' y realismo en la santidad de la vida ordinaria

Abstract

The article is centered in The Wayâ s point: âDo you really want to be a saint? Carry out the little duty of each moment: do what you ought and concentrate on what you are doingâ (nº 815) and specially be in the things you do. Whoever truthfully is in everything and entirely in all the things he or she does will do everything right, with passion and personal style. It is difficult to devote our mind and heart entirely to the things we are dealing with. We want to be â somewhere elseâ , in a â different placeâ , sorrounded by other circumstances. This is the â wishful misticismâ (mística ojalatera): an insidious and subtle enemy for these who seek for sanctity in everyday life.
