Description

Friends of God offers a collection of homilies by St. Josemaría Escrivá that helps you develop a strong, lasting friendship with the God who is close to us. St. Josemaría gives you a broad picture of the basic human and Christian virtues, so that you can not only follow closely in our Lord's footsteps, but establish and maintain a filial dialogue with God. Each of his homilies here are not only heartfelt conversations with the Christian who is immersed in ordinary life, but also a prayerful colloquy with God. With a masterful pastor's hand, St. Josemaría combines theological depth with evangelical clarity. He gives you here not only a lesson in doctrine, but an introduction to essential aspects of the Christian life. Simple, compassionate, and profound, these homilies are a full expression of St. Josemaría's passionate, expansive love for God.

Friends Of God by Josemaría Escrivá

I laughed when I pulled it out of the wrapper…it’s so tiny. It’s a true pocket edition. The quality of the book is great! The paper color and very readable type is great! The words and thoughts and spirituality of Msgr. Escrivá are such a delight to read. I am 80 years old and spent my life in the business world. How I would have longed to have these words help to fill out the skeleton of my Protestant Christian life. Such guidance given to holiness and purity! I believe I would have partnered with Opus Dei. I noticed that he died the very year I was gloriously filled with the Holy Spirit. Oh how our world needs these teachings! I am brought to tears when I come across the actions of Christ through the writings of a man such as this. Thank you for this book.

About the Author

St. Josemaría Escrivá was born in Barbastro, Spain on January 9th 1902. He was ordained to the priesthood at the age of 23 and at the age of 26, by divine inspiration founded Opus Dei. Through his apostolic endeavors, a path within the Church was being broadened and deepened. He promoted among people of all social classes, the search for holiness and the practice of evangelization, through the sanctification of ordinary work, in the midst of the world and without changing one's state in life. On June 26th 1975, St. Josemaría died unexpectedly in Rome in the room where he worked.

Among his published works, are the following books of spirituality: The Way, Holy Rosary, Christ is passing by, Friends of God, The way of the Cross, Furrow, The Forge, and In Love with the Church.

St. John Paul the Great had this to say about St. Josemaría:

"St. Josemaría was chosen by the Lord to announce the universal call to holiness and to point out that daily life and ordinary activities are a path to holiness. One could say that he was the saint of ordinary life."
