Description
Monsignor Emesto Julia (b. 1934) graduated in Law, and was ordained to the priesthood in 1962 for Opus Dei.
He lived in Rome from 1956 to 1992, when he returned to Spain. His pastoral work took him to several countries around the world.
He spent almost twenty years close to St Josemaria Iscriva in Villa Tevere, the headquarters of the Opus Dei Prelature. As head of the secretarial, he shared work and rest, sorrows and joys, prayers and conversations, with St josemaria.
In this work, Julia enters into the spirit of the founder Opus Dei. He follows him through the steps that mar! his personal life as founder, and especially in those moments of the dark night to which St Josemaria himself referred, and which show that his life was truly hidden. with Christ in God.
The author reveals how Opus Dei became a reality through all of Josemaria Escrivá's actions, which enabled God to truly do the "work of God", and St Josemaria was able to carry out the mission he had received.
