Lives of Saints & Servants of God

Josemaria Escriva

Scott, Helena / Tolansky, Ethel

The founder of Opus Dei who taught that God can be found in our daily work

Born sixty years before the Second Vatican Council, Josemaria Escriva grew up in a politically volatile Spain, where the Church struggled to dialogue in a fast-changing world. This booklet traces Fr Escriva's journey from childhood and family tragedy, vocational struggle and civil war to the personal discovery of his own, fairly revolutionary task of teaching people, ordinary lay people, how to find God in their work. We see Fr Escriva's courage, goodness and originality, and his prophetic contribution towards uncovering the fullness of the apostolate shared by all the baptised, which itself helped prepare the ground for the Council. He was proclaimed a saint by Pope John Paul II in 2002.
