In the apostolate, obey without paying attention to the human qualities of whoever it is asks you to do something, or to the way he asks you. Otherwise it is no virtue at all. There are many kinds of crosses: some have jewels or pearls or emeralds on them, some are lacquered or made of ivory. But some are made of wood like Our Lords. All deserve the same veneration, for the Cross tells us about the sacrifice of God made Man. Apply this consideration to your obedience, without forgetting that He embraced the Wood of the Cross lovingly, without hesitation! There he obtained our Redemption. Only after obeying, which is a sign of rectitude of intention, may you make fraternal correction with the required conditions, and reinforce unity by fulfilling the duty in question. – St. Josemaria Escriva, Furrow, #373
