St. Josemaria Escriva

Thomas Aschenbrener

St. Josemaria Escriva was born in Spain in 1902 and was ordained a priest in 1926. In 1928, he received the divine inspiration to found Opus Dei, a Catholic organization of lay people and priests who try to grow close to God through their ordinary lives. Over the course of his life, St. Josemaria Escriva only published a handful of books and only several more have been published after his death. Although the amount of writing he did is vast, the work that consumed him during his life did not allow him to focus on publishing. His priority was doing the will of God, taking care of Opus Dei, and serving souls. The books that we do have are each a treasure of loving guidance for a soul that is searching for meaning, for direction, and for a deeper union with God.

St. Josemaria died in 1975 and was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2002.
