First
published in English in 1996 as Immersed in God, this 20th
anniversary edition serves an anecdotal account of the life of St.
Josemaria Escriva (1902-1975). Blessed Alvaro (1914-1994) was at the
saint’s side for almost 40 years as his confessor, and from 1976 to
his death as the Prelate of Opus Dei, was the successor to St.
Josemaria. Blessed Alvaro relates dozens of accounts of Saint
Josemaria’s apostolate, his service to the Church, and his
personality. Many of these stories only came to light after his
death, when letters and tributes poured into Rome from around the
world.
These
lively anecdotes are gathered in 13 chapters which form a mosaic of
the life of St. Josemaria and provided thousands of readers around
the world with a picture of the saint, just before publication of an
official three volume biography,The Founder of Opus Dei,by
Andres Vazquez de Prada.
