Dear Distracted Student,

What a stud.

Here's a bit of "Boom, Roasted" 
for the Distracted Student 


(a.k.a. Me)






By St. Josemaria Escriva, taken from his "Study" Chapter of The Way:

There is no excuse for those who could be scholars and are not. (332)

You pray, you mortify yourself, you labor at a thousand apostolic activities...but you don't study.  You are useless then, unless you change your ways.

Study--any professional development --is a serious obligation for us. (334)

An hour of study, for a modern apostle, is an hour of prayer. (335)

If you are to serve God with your mind, to study is a grave obligation for you. (336)

You frequent the sacraments, you pray, you are chaste, but you don't study.  Don't tell me you're good; you're only "goodish." (337)

Study. Study in earnest.  If you are to be salt and light, you need knowledge, capability.

Or do you imagine that an idle and lazy life will entitle you to receive infused knowledge? (340)

To be idle is something inconceivable in a man who has apostolic spirit. (358)

Add a supernatural motive to our ordinary professional work and you will have sanctified it. (359)
