Nuevos mediterráneos
La vida de los santos es una luz que ilumina el camino de nuestras vidas cuando cae la noche. Ellos han recorrido ese mismo camino, y han sabido llegar a la meta: el Amor de Dios que está en nuestro origen, y que desea abrazarnos por toda la eternidad.

This booklet was recently available for free on the Opus Dei website. It is a wonderful little volume. Full review below.
...
This book is currently being offered for free, on the Opus Dei site. It is one of several books being offered for spiritual growth for free. Last year I read a few of the others being offered and they have all been excellent. And to be honest you cannot beat the price. These are great resources, and this is a wonderful little book. The description of the book is:
“The lives of the saints act as a light that illuminates the path of our lives when night falls. They have travelled the same path as us, and have known how to reach the goal: the Love of God which is in our origin, and which desires to embrace us for all eternity.
In these pages we are going to look at the holy life of St Josemaría Escrivá; in particular, at some of the discoveries he made during his years as a young priest. As many people who knew him pointed out, he was a lover of God who taught many souls “to understand more profoundly the love of God, so that we are able to show that love to other people through what we do and say” (Christ is Passing By, 97). This is the path of the Christian life, which we too wish to undertake.”
And the contents are:
Foreword
I. "That First Prayer of a Child of God"
Interlude: “Having the Cross means being identified with Christ”
II. "Jesus is my dear Friend"
III. "From the Wound of the right hand"
IV. "Don't speak: listen to him"
V. "To Jesus, Through Mary"
Epilogue
The book draws heavily from the writings of Saint Josemaria Escriva, books about Escriva, the popes, and other church documents. Each chapter has between 16-38 quotes. This is an excellent little book so pick it up and give it a read.

Muy buen libro para rezar con el Evangelio como un personaje más

La presente obra, tiene la intensión de acompañar al lector hacia nuevos mares, a viajes "hacia adentro" de la persona, de la intimidad, de los valores más profundos para recordar lo mas digno, descubriendo de paso el sentido trascendental a la cual estamos llamados.
Un libro breve pero intenso en mensajes y contenido, de fácil lectura.
Ampliamente recomendable para toda persona en búsqueda de crecimiento personal y espiritual, como el buen deportista, creciendo cada vez un poco más. Lectura que puede usarse en la meditación, cómo herramienta formativa, de consulta, para inspiración personal, etc.
«Discurrir sobre lo mismo» para intentar abrirnos a toda su riqueza y descubrir así «¡que no es lo mismo!» Ese es el camino de contemplación al que estamos llamados. Se trata de surcar un mar que, a primera vista, no tiene nada de nuevo, porque forma parte de nuestro paisaje cotidiano. Los romanos llamaban al Mediterráneo Mare nostrum: se trataba del mar conocido, del mar con el que convivían.
..."UN PADRE NO QUIERE A SU HIJO POR LO QUE HACE, POR SUS RESULTADOS, SINO SENCILLAMENTE PORQUE ES SU HIJO"...

Interesantes reflexiones sobre la relación con Dios de san Josemaría Escrivá. Aunque no es santo de mi devoción, el libro es profundo e invita a la reflexión.
Regalo de mi suegra.
