An essential work for understanding a fundamental chapter in the history of Opus Dei and the Church in Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn July 18, 1936, the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War caught Saint Josemaría Escrivá and most of the members of Opus Dei in the zone under Republican control. The violent repression unleashed against the Catholic Church forced them to seek refuge in private homes, consulates, and other hiding places, where they lived in constant danger of being discovered and executed. Based on documents and first-hand testimonies, the book narrates how the founder of Opus Dei and his followers managed to survive during those months, maintaining their life of prayer and their apostolic work in clandestinity. From their flight from Madrid to the crossing to the Nationalist zone, the author details the adventures, risks, and providence that marked this crucial period for the institution. The work does not only describe the events, but also delves into the historical context and the spiritual motivations that guided these men and women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eReligious persecution and martyrdom during the Spanish Civil War.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFoundation and early years of Opus Dei in a context of conflict.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLife of faith, prayer, and trust in divine providence in extreme situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe figure of Saint Josemaría Escrivá as a spiritual guide in adversity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of the Church in Spain during the 20th century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in the contemporary history of the Church, especially in the period of the Spanish Civil War and the figure of Saint Josemaría Escrivá.
