González Gullón, researcher of the Center of programs of study Josemaría Escrivá (CEJE), today published an article in Omnes article in which he offers some considerations on the foundational significance of Opus Dei. To this end, he gathers oral and written recollections of St. Josemaría that allow us to contextualize the events of October 2, 1928.
González Gullón notes in his article that "Josemaría Escrivá felt he was the depositary of a divine message. He understood that he had received a grace, a divine force, a light from the Holy Spirit. In no case was it a concept forged after a process of intellectual reflection or a brilliant inspiration arising from the teachings of the Magisterium, the Fathers of the Church and spiritual authors, both classical and contemporary. It was a spirit that appeared universal, destined for any place, time and culture".
