Life
An Aragonese priest who in 1928 ‘saw’ Opus Dei: ordinary Christians called to holiness through their daily work, sanctifying the world from within. He crossed the Pyrenees on foot in the Civil War, built the Work across the world from Rome, and left in The Way and his preaching one insistent message: your everyday life is the stuff of sanctity.
