The Collected Letters: Volume 2

Description By St. Josemaría Escrivá After the death of St. Josemaría in 1975, his successor, Blessed Alvaro del Portillo, had an Audience with Pope St. Paul VI. Referring to the teachings of the founder of Opus Dei, St. Paul VI asked that all these be carefully collected “because they are now already a treasure which belongs to the whole Church.” This second volume contains four Letters of some thirty-eight of a foundational nature which St. Josemaría Escrivá wrote.
