2009 marks the 70th anniversary of the publication of St. Josemaría’s spiritual masterpiece, "The Way." It has sold 5 million copies in 50 languages. Here is the introduction to "The Way" written by Bishop Javier Echevarría for the 2006 Doubleday edition.
It was June 1975. “I took up my camera one last time and focused on his hands, which were so expressive. That was the last photo of him that I took.”
In the midst of the present economic difficulties, we offer a "Novena for Work" for asking St. Josemaria's intercession in finding a job.
During the Year for Priests convoked by Benedict XVI, Bishop Javier Echevarría asks us to pray that God bless the Church with many holy priests. Also a video and some related bibliographical material.
Saint Josemaría was canonised in 2002 and his feast day is 26th June. Information about his life, and favours granted through his intercession, is online at: www.josemariaescriva.info.
With St. Josemaría's feast day approaching on June 26, we offer an article on one of his key teachings: how to sanctify our work.
