Quotes by Josemaría Escrivá

Josemaría Escrivá (1902–1975) — Priester · Katholisch · Spanien

Josemaría Escrivá (1902–1975) war ein spanischer katholischer Priester, der vor allem in Madrid sowie Rom wirkte und 1928 das Opus Dei gründete. Er betonte die Heiligung des Alltags und der weltlichen Berufsarbeit – bekannt durch sein Werk „Der Weg“ –, während sein Schaffen wegen autoritärer Strukturen und historischer Nähe zum Franco-Regime umstritten blieb. Heutigen Bibellesern liefert er Denkanstöße für eine konsequente Arbeitsethik, deren Umfeld jedoch bis heute durch Berichte über geistlichen Missbrauch und strenge Gewissenskontrolle belastet ist.

How good it is when one learns to correct one's own view! And how few people learn this ability!

Josemaría Escrivá

You asked the Lord to let you suffer a little for his sake... And look - now that suffering comes, in a very human, very ordinary way, with difficulties and worries in the family or the thousand small things of everyday life, you find it hard to see Christ behind it all.
