Saint Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer (9 January 1902 – 26 June 1975; also known as José María or Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer y Albás, born José María Mariano Escriba Albás[1]) was a Roman Catholic priest from Spain who founded Opus Dei, an organization of laypeople and priests dedicated to the teaching that everyone is called to holiness and that ordinary life is a path to sanctity. He was canonized in 2002 by Pope John Paul II, who declared Saint Josemaría should be "counted among the great witnesses of Christianity."[2][3][4]
Escrivá gained a doctorate in civil law at the Complutense University of Madrid and a doctorate in theology at the Lateran University in Rome. His principal work was the foundation, government and expansion of Opus Dei. Escrivá's best-known publication was The Way, which has been translated into 43 languages and has sold several million copies.[5]

Thursday of the Twelfth week in Ordinary Time

2nd book of Kings 24:8-17.

Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
He did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his forebears had done.
At that time the officials of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem, and the city came under siege.
Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, himself arrived at the city while his servants were besieging it.
Then Jehoiachin, king of Judah, together with his mother, his ministers, officers, and functionaries, surrendered to the king of Babylon, who, in the eighth year of his reign, took him captive.
He carried off all the treasures of the temple of the LORD and those of the palace, and broke up all the gold utensils that Solomon, king of Israel, had provided in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had foretold.
He deported all Jerusalem: all the officers and men of the army, ten thousand in number, and all the craftsmen and smiths. None were left among the people of the land except the poor.
He deported Jehoiachin to Babylon, and also led captive from Jerusalem to Babylon the king's mother and wives, his functionaries, and the chief men of the land.
The king of Babylon also led captive to Babylon all seven thousand men of the army, and a thousand craftsmen and smiths, all of them trained soldiers.
In place of Jehoiachin, the king of Babylon appointed his uncle Mattaniah king, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

Psalms 79(78):1-2.3-5.8.9.
O God, the nations have come into your inheritance;
they have defiled your holy temple,
they have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
They have given the corpses of your servants
as food to the birds of heaven,
the flesh of your faithful ones to the beasts of the earth.

They have poured out their blood like water
round about Jerusalem,
and there is no one to bury them.
We have become the reproach of our neighbors,
the scorn and derision of those around us.
O LORD, how long? Will you be angry forever?

Will your jealousy burn like fire?
Remember not against us the iniquities of the past;
may your compassion quickly come to us,
for we are brought very low.

Help us, O God our savior,
because of the glory of your name;
deliver us and pardon our sins
for your name's sake.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 7:21-29.
Jesus said to his disciples: "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.
Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?'
Then I will declare to them solemnly, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.'
Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.
The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock.
And everyone who listens to these words of mine but does not act on them will be like a fool who built his house on sand.
The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. And it collapsed and was completely ruined."
When Jesus finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,
for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes."

Das Elternhaus von Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer am Marktplatz in Barbastro, heute mit dem Nachbarhaus verbunden und ein Einrichtung des Opus Dei, die nicht besucht werden kann

Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer
Josef-Maria stammte aus einem gutsituierten und streng katholischen Elternhaus. Mit zwei Jahren wurde er wunderbar von einer Krankheit geheilt. Als er 13 Jahre alt war, zog die Familie um nach Logroño, nachdem die Textilfabrik seines Vaters bankrott war und der sich nun eine Arbeit suchen musste. Mit 16 Jahren verspürte er die Berufung zum Priesterstand; schon im Seminar fiel seine ausgeprägte Bereitschaft zu Selbstgeißelung und Bußübungen auf. 1918 begann er das Theologiestudium: zunächst in Logroño, dann in Saragossa; er schrieb sich anschließend auch in die juristische Fakultät ein, wurde gleichzeitig mit nur 20 Jahren Seminarleiter. 1925 wurde er zum Priester geweiht, 1927 ging er nach Madrid, um in Jura zu promovieren. Hier begann er ein sehr fruchtbares Apostolat unter armen Kindern, in Armenvierteln und bei Kranken.

Josef-Maria wohnte mit seinen Eltern in Logroño zunächst in einem einfacheren, nach einigen Jahren gleich um die Ecke in diesem Wohnhaus, an dem die Tafel an ihn erinnert
1928 gründete Josef-Maria Escrivá in Madrid die Gemeinschaft Opus Dei, Werk Gottes: Laien sollten ihre Berufung zu geistlichem Leben, zur tätigen Nächstenliebe und zur Heiligung der Arbeit im Alltag entdecken und leben. 1930 folgte der weibliche Zweig. 1939 wurde Josef-Maria Escrivás grundlegendes Werk Der Weg - 999 Meditationssätze zur Umsetzung von Gottes Willen in der eigenen Lebensführung www.heiligenlexikon.de/BiographienJ/Josemaria_Escri… veröffentlicht; inzwischen ist es in 42 Sprachen übersetzt und über 4 Millionen Mal verkauft worden.
Das Opus Dei musste alsbald mit den Wirren des spanischen Bürgerkriegs fertig werden, Escrivá schlug sich auf der Flucht vor den Roten zu den Franco-Putschisten durch. 1941 wurde er ein guter Freund des spanischen Führers, Opus Dei wurde vor allem in der Wirtschafts- und Bildungspolitik zu einer Stütze des Regimes und leistete entscheidende Dienste beim Aufbau einer konkurrenzfähigen Ökonomie. In den 40-er Jahren erwarb Escrivá sich zu seinem Namen auch den Adelstitel Marqués de Peralta. Nach dem Bürgerkrieg führte er Exerzitien für Priester, Ordensleute und Laien durch, auf Grund dieser Erfahrung gründete er 1943 eine priesterliche Gesellschaft als Teilverband von Opus Dei, die Priestergemeinschaft vom Heiligen Kreuz.

Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer
Ab 1946 widmete Josef-Maria sich in Rom ganz der Arbeit für Opus Dei, hierzu siedelte er nach Rom über, 1950 erhielt die Personalprälatur die päpstliche Anerkennung. Der Auftrag des Gotteswerkes war die Bekämpfung von Liberalismus und Kommunismus sowie die Rettung der Kirche selbst, in der Escrivá Anfang der 70er-Jahre wegen Verirrungen wie der Befreiungstheologie bisweilen nur noch einen Leichnam in stinkender Verwesung erblicken mochte. Escrivá unternahm unzählige Reisen - vor allem in Europa und Amerika -, um seine Ideale zu verbreiten und seine Anhänger zu formen, gleichzeitig erschienen viele Bücher aus seiner Feder. Auch eine Unterstützung des Putsches gegen den chilenischen Präsidenten Allende 1973 und der danach folgenden Taten der Todesschwadronen mit Tausenden von Opfern wird Escrivá und Opus Dei immer wieder zugeschrieben.
Beim überraschenden Tod von Josef-Maria durch einen Herzanfall hatte die Gesellschaft 60.000 Mitglieder in 80 Ländern, im Jahr 2000 schon 80.000 Mitglieder, darunter 1600 Priester, in 87 Ländern. Seit seiner Heiligsprechung ruht sein Leichnam in der Prälaturkirche S. Maria della Pace in Rom.
Kanonisation: 200.000 Menschen kamen zur Seligsprechung von Josef-Maria Escrivá im Mai 1992 durch Papst Johannes Paul II.. Im November desselben Jahres ereignete sich die wunderbare Heilung, die die Tür zur Heiligsprechung öffnete: der Arzt Manuel Nevado Rey litt an chronische Radiodermitis, einer schweren Berufskrankheit, die auf die Fürbitte des seligen Josef-Maria verschwand. Im Dezember 2001 approbierte Johannes Paul II. das Dekret der Kongregation für die Heiligsprechung über dieses Wunder. Im Oktober 2002 wurde Josef-Maria Escrivá vor 450.000 bis 500.000 Menschen auf dem Petersplatz in Rom heiliggesprochen - nur 27 Jahre nach seinem Tod; so schnell ist seit Einführung des geordneten Verfahrens zur Heiligsprechung kein Katholik zur Ehre der Altäre erhoben worden.
* Eine erste Fassung wurde schon 1934 unter dem Titel Consideraciones Espirituales, Geistliche Ratschläge, veröffentlicht.
Die Homepage von Opus Dei informiert in Deutsch und vielen anderen Sprachen über die Arbeit der Gemeinschaft. Den Gründer selbst stellt ebenfalls in Deutsch und anderen Sprachen die Webseite Heiliger Josefmaria Escriva vor.
Eine Fülle von kritischen Informationen erschließt die Unofficial Homepage Opus Dei in verschiedenen Sprachen.
Die Chronologie des Heiligsprechungsprozesses gibt es auf der Homepage des Vatikans, auch in Französisch, Englisch, Italienisch und Spanisch.

Josemaría Escrivá nacque a Barbastro (Spagna) il 9 gennaio 1902. Fra i 15 e i 16 anni cominciò ad avvertire i primi presentimenti di una chiamata divina, e decise di farsi sacerdote. Nel 1918 iniziò gli studi ecclesiastici nel Seminario di Logroño, e dal 1920 li proseguì nel Seminario S. Francesco di Paola, a Saragozza, dove dal 1922 svolse mansioni di "Superiore". Nel 1923 iniziò gli studi di Legge nell’Università di Saragozza, col permesso dell’Autorità ecclesiastica, senza che ciò ostacolasse gli studi teologici. Ricevette il diaconato il 20 dicembre 1924, e fu ordinato sacerdote il 28 marzo 1925.
Nella primavera del 1927, sempre col permesso dell’Arcivescovo, si trasferì a Madrid, dove si prodigò in un instancabile lavoro sacerdotale in tutti gli ambienti, dedicandosi anche ai poveri e ai malati delle borgate, specie agli incurabili e ai moribondi degli ospedali. Divenne cappellano del “Patronato per i malati”, iniziativa assistenziale delle Dame Apostoliche del Sacro Cuore, e fu docente in un’Accademia universitaria. Frattanto continuava gli studi e i corsi di dottorato in Legge, che a quell’epoca si tenevano solo nell’Università di Madrid.
Il 2 ottobre del 1928 il Signore gli fece vedere con chiarezza l’Opus Dei. Da quel giorno il fondatore dell’Opus Dei si dedicò, con grande zelo apostolico per tutte le anime, a compiere la missione che Dio gli aveva affidato. Il 14 febbraio del 1930 iniziò l’apostolato dell’Opus Dei con le donne. Nel 1934 fu nominato Rettore del Patronato di Santa Elisabetta.
Il 14 febbraio 1943 fondò la Società sacerdotale della Santa Croce, inseparabilmente unita all’Opus Dei, che, oltre a permettere l’ordinazione sacerdotale di membri laici dell’Opus Dei e la loro incardinazione al servizio dell’Opera, avrebbe più tardi consentito pure ai sacerdoti incardinati nelle diocesi di condividere la spiritualità e l’ascetica dell’Opus Dei, cercando la santità nell’esercizio dei doveri ministeriali, pur restando alle esclusive dipendenze del rispettivo Ordinario diocesano.
Nel 1946 si trasferì a Roma, dove rimase fino alla fine della vita. Da Roma stimolò e guidò la diffusione dell’Opus Dei in tutto il mondo, prodigando tutte le sue energie nel dare agli uomini e alle donne dell’Opera una solida formazione dottrinale, ascetica e apostolica. Alla morte del fondatore l’Opus Dei contava più di 60.000 membri, di 80 nazionalità.
Monsignor Escrivá fu Consultore della Pontificia Commissione per l’interpretazione autentica del Codice di Diritto canonico e della Sacra Congregazione per i Seminari e le Università; Prelato onorario di Sua Santità e membro onorario della Pontificia Accademia teologica romana, è stato anche Gran Cancelliere delle Università di Navarra (Spagna) e Piura (Perù) .
San Josemaría Escrivá è morto il 26 giugno 1975. Da anni offriva la sua vita per la Chiesa e per il Papa. Fu sepolto nella Cripta della chiesa di S. Maria della Pace, a Roma.
La fama di santità che già ebbe in vita si è diffusa, dopo la sua morte, in tutti gli angoli della terra, come dimostrano le molte testimonianze di favori spirituali e materiali attribuiti all’intercessione del fondatore dell’Opus Dei; fra di essi si registrano anche guarigioni clinicamente inesplicabili. Numerosissime sono anche state le lettere provenienti dai cinque continenti, fra le quali si annoverano quelle di 69 cardinali e di circa 1.300 vescovi - più di un terzo dell’episcopato mondiale - che chiedevano al Papa l’apertura della Causa di Beatificazione e Canonizzazione di Josemaría Escrivá. La causa si è aperta nel febbraio del 1981. Conclusi tutti i necessari tramiti giuridici, la beatificazione del fondatore dell'Opus Dei è stata celebrata il 17 maggio 1992. Il 6 ottobre 2002 è stato canonizzato nel corso di una solenne cerimonia presieduta dal Santo Padre Giovanni Paolo II, in piazza San Pietro alla presenza di oltre 300 mila fedeli provenienti da tutto il mondo.

Dal 21 maggio 1992 il corpo del beato Josemaría Escrivá riposa nell‚altare della chiesa prelatizia di S. Maria della Pace, nella sede centrale della Prelatura dell'Opus Dei, costantemente accompagnato dalla preghiera e dalla gratitudine delle tante persone di tutto il mondo che si sono avvicinate a Dio attratte dall‚esempio e dagli insegnamenti del fondatore dell'Opus Dei e dalla devozione di quanti ricorrono alla sua intercessione.

L’œuvre précise à laquelle la Providence a appelé le bienheureux Josémaría porte sur un de ces messages : mettre en œuvre l’appel à la sainteté de tout le peuple chrétien »[1].

June 26 Saint Josemaría Escrivá
One of six children born to Jose and Dolores Escriva; three of his siblings died in infancy. His father was a small businessman, and when his business failed in 1915, the family moved to Logroño, Spain. As a young man, Josemaria saw the bare footprints left in the snow by a monk; the sight moved him, and kindled a desire for religious vocation. He studied for the priesthood in Logroño and Zaragoza, Spain. His father died in 1924, and Josemaria had to simultaneously support the family while studying. Ordained in Zaragoza on 28 March 1925.
Assigned for a while to a rural parish, and then in Zaragoza. Moved to Madrid, Spain in 1927 to study law. Following a profound spiritual retreat, Josemaria founded Opus Dei in Madrid on 2 October 1928, opening a new way for the faithful to sanctify themselves in the midst of the world through their work and fulfillment of their personal, family and social duties. The next few years were spent studying at the University of Madrid, teaching to support his mother and siblings, ministering to the poor and sick, and working to build the foundation of Opus Dei.
Religious persecution in the Spanish Civil War forced Josemaria into hiding, and he ministered covertly to his parishioners. He escaped across the Pyrenees to Burgos, Spain. At the end of the war in 1939, he returned to his studies in Madrid. Doctor of law. Retreat master for laity, priests, and religious.
On 14 February 1943 he founded the Priestly Society of the Holy Cross, united to Opus Dei. Josemaria moved to Rome, Italy in 1946, and earned a doctorate in theology from the Lateran University. Consultor to two Vatican Congregations. Honorary member of the Pontifical Academy of Theology. Named a prelate of honor by Pope Pius XII.
Opus Dei received the approval of the Holy See on 16 June 1950. Josemaria travelled frequently throughout Europe and Latin America to work for the growth of Opus Dei, and by the time of his death, it had spread to five continents with over 60,000 members of 80 nationalities, and today has over 80,000 members, most laymen.
