Pope Paul VI said in 1975 that the oral and written teachings of St. Josemaría were “a treasure not just for Opus Dei, but for the whole Church” and they should be written down and shared.

A Treasure for the Church brings together St. Josemaría's personal, heartfelt answers to real-life questions posed during his catechetical gatherings in Spain (1972) and throughout Latin America (1974-1975). Drawn from his conversations with parents, educators, and youth, this book captures his timeless, practical advice for forming Christian character at home, in school, and in the world.

While especially helpful for parents, educators, and catechists, this book, with its powerful insights, will also resonate with youth leaders, young adults, and anyone committed to developing character through faith and love.

Accessible and inspiring, this unique volume is the first to publish in English St. Josemaría’s spoken responses from these three pastoral trips, offering a treasure of practical wisdom for all who wish to build strong families, schools, and communities rooted in Christ.
