Called "the saint of ordinary life" by Pope John Paul II, St. Josemaria Escriva centered his ministry around a simple truth: each person can experience the extraordinary grace of holiness even in the ordinary events of day-to-day life. Join Dr. Christopher Mooney and Mary McGeehan on this episode of Catholic Saints to discuss St. Josemaria: his origin, spirituality, Opus Dei, and how to follow his saintly example.
Discussion Question: At the center of St. Josemaria's spirituality is the concept of divine filiation—the theological truth that because of your baptism, you are a child of God. Contemplate and pray with this reality. What stands out to you? What does the Lord say about you as his son or daughter?
