Summary

Alvaro del Portillo fue el colaborador más cercano y primer sucesor de San Josemaría Escrivá, el fundador del Opus Dei. La Iglesia Católica lo beatificó el 27 de septiembre de 2014. La beatificación es el paso previo a la canonización con la que se declara la santidad de una persona.

Saxum recoge la vida de Del Portillo: sus aventuras durante la Guerra Civil Española, su colaboración con Escrivá, su participación en el Concilio Vaticano II y sus años como prelado del Opus Dei.

Del Portillo ofrece un ejemplo atractivo de cómo vivir una vida auténticamente cristiana en las circunstancias más diversas. Es un modelo no solo de las virtudes específicamente cristianas de la fe, la esperanza y la caridad, sino también de las virtudes humanas que hacen a una persona buena y atractiva. Quizás el rasgo más llamativo de su personalidad fue su extraordinaria capacidad de hacer amigos con todo tipo de personas, desde el jardinero hasta el Papa Juan Pablo II, a quien le unió una amistad profunda.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.
