Favours of Saint Josemaria Escriva

Description

From the moment he died, people all over the world began to call upon St Josemaria. Rome received more than 120,000 signed claims of those testimonies, collected and edited by Msgr Flavio Capucci, postulator for the cause of St. Josemaria’s canonization.These are first-person accounts – often by the very people who received the favours – of how St Josemaria rescued people from:Alcoholism, heroin addiction, and other addictionsBroken marriages and infidelityBroken families and estrangement between parents and childrenInfertility and difficult pregnanciesLoneliness and inability to fina a mateSuicidal depression, anorexia, and other devastating emotional problemsMany more…This book even contains accounts of how St Josemaria helped them find lost objects and deal with small domestic annoyances. As Msgr Joaquin Alonso (who worked with St Josemaria for twenty years) explains in his Foreword, this emphasizes that God’s love extends to the smallest details of life, and that it is every Christian’s privilege and duty to live a life of holiness whatever his or her state in life: married or single, sick or well, young or old, poor or rich.These testimonies demonstrate the immense power of St Josemaria’s intercession and of the mercy of the God Whom the saint loved and served so well.
