There is a great personality, I
am refering to a priest (RIP) that has founded the OPUS DEI. In this oportunity my
intention is to promote, to spread the knowledgment of his institution. That has
done and is doing so much Good not only to the Catholic Church, but to all humanity.
In order to enter the
knowledgent of the spirituality of san Josemaría
Escribá de Balaguer we can start by remembering some of the things he said.
“Our Lord and our God: For love of your son, you cause us
to say with all our being, with our body and soul: He must reign”.
“As we work at our job, side by side with colleagues, Friends
and relatives and sharing their intrests, we can help them come closer to
Christ”.
“If we stop seeking ourselves
and seek him alone, then in his name we will be able to give to oters, freely”.
“There is not a single soul in whom Christi s not
interested”.
“May our souls…. Trust entirely
in HER who watches over us at all times”.
“ Lord does not depend in any way on thehuman resulto f our
efforts”.
“Saint Luke the Evangelist tells us that Jesus prayed……”.
Opus Dei, (pair of latín words
that could mean “work for God” or “the work of God”). Seeks the santification
of persons in ordinary life. Finding God in our usual profesional work, family
life, social and sportive, activities and even in relaxing time. The doctrine
of Opus Dei is to contribute to the evangelistic life being coherent in faith
and our life circumstances in the santification of them.
As so many cases in a few
parographs it is noy possible to aproach a complete idea of an instituton, so
my recomendation is to buy, as a first step of this so interesting matter, one
of the books of homilies of san Josemaría Escribá.
