10th Anniversary of the Canonization of St. Josemaria Escriva, Founder of Opus Dei
Today mark's the 10th anniversary of the canonization of St. Josemaria Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei. St. Josemaria's primary message was that all are called to be holy, not just priests, nuns and other religious orders. This may seem common to us who have grown up in the post Vatican II era, but it was a radical departure from the clericalism that dominated Catholicism in Europe in the late 1920's.
In addition to his work with Opus Dei, St. Josemaria, whose last name sounds like the Spanish word "to write," was an prolific writer. His most popular works include The Way, The Forge and The Furrow. All of these, in addition to copies of some of his homilies, can be found in multiple languages at Escriva Works.
