Josemaria Escrivá, born in 1902 in Spain, is a central figure in modern Catholic spirituality. He founded Opus Dei, an institution that seeks to bring holiness into everyday life. Escrivá believed that everyone, regardless of their profession or social status, could achieve holiness through work and daily life. This innovative idea provided a new perspective on how to live faith in the modern world, integrating it into every aspect of life.
From an early age, Escrivá showed strong religious devotion, which led him to be ordained a priest in 1925. During the tumultuous years of the Spanish Civil War, he faced immense challenges, but his determination to promote a solid spiritual life never wavered. It was during this time, in 1928, that he founded Opus Dei, with the vision of transforming society through the sanctification of daily activities. His message was clear: holiness was not just for monks and priests but for everyone.
Escrivá's influence spread quickly, and his work was recognized by the Catholic Church. In 2002, he was canonized by Pope John Paul II, becoming Saint Josemaria Escrivá. His life is a testament to how faith can be lived simply and profoundly in everyday life, making every action an opportunity for spiritual growth. His legacy continues to inspire millions of people around the world to seek a life full of purpose and devotion.
