Works about St. Josemaría

The biography of the founder of Opus Dei by Michele Dolz (St. Josemaría Escrivá) has been published in Hong Kong in Chinese (first edition) and in English (second printing). In Chile the book has been re-edited with a new design, 50 new photographs, a report on the two miracles, and a chapter on the canonization. The book is offered for sale together with a DVD on the founder. The Lisbon publisher Lucerna has published the same book in Portuguese.

Another Portuguese publisher, Aletheia, has published the second edition of Uma Luz no Mundo, by Hugo de Azevedo, but now with the title St. Josemaría Escrivá.

Continuing with new publications in Portuguese, this time in Brazil, the publisher Indaia of São Paulo has published the second edition of the book by Francisco Faus, Sao Josemaría Escrivá no Brasil: esboços do perfil de um santo. This edition includes new photographs.

In Poznan, Poland, the book Przekroczyc Marzenia, the Polish version of Dream and your Dreams will Fall Short, has been published. In this work Fr. Pedro Casciaro presents some of his memories of St. Josemaría. The first edition of this book in Czech, entitled Ani Ve Snu, has also been made available to the public.

In St. Albans, England, the second volume of William Keenan’s biography of St. Josemaría was recently published under the title: The Path through the Mountains: St. Josemaria Escriva and the Origins of Opus Dei. In the first volume, he narrated the life of the founder of Opus Dei from his childhood until November of 1937. Now he continues from the middle of the Spanish Civil War up to his arrival in Rome in 1946.

In Slovenia, the publisher Novi Svet has published the Slovenian translation of 15 Days with St. Josemaría, by Guillaume Derville.

The publisher Edicep, in Valencia, has offered Spanish speakers a translation of Un Cammino attraverso il mondo, by John Wauck, an anthology of texts by the founder of Opus Dei with commentary.

Finally, among the new items deserving mention is iEscrivá, an iphone application which not only allows one to consult the published works of St. Josemaría in five languages (Spanish, English, Italian, French and German), but also permits the insertion of personal notes, the fruit of study or reflection. It was developed by the Computer Innovation School in Rome, a center for computer instruction and research.
