'''Saint Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer''' (9 January 1902 – 26 June 1975) was a [[Saints|Roman Catholic saint]] and Spanish priest who founded [[Opus Dei]], an institution dedicated to promoting holiness in everyday life among laypeople and priests. Born in [[Barbastro]], Spain, Escrivá was ordained a priest in 1925 and established Opus Dei in 1928, emphasizing the universal call to sanctity through work and ordinary duties. His writings, including *The Way*, *Furrow*, and *The Forge*, inspire Christians to find God in daily life. Despite challenges during the Spanish Civil War, he expanded Opus Dei globally, moving to [[Rome]] in 1946. Canonized by Pope John Paul II on 6 October 2002, he is known as the “saint of ordinary life,” with his feast day celebrated on 26 June in the [[Roman Rite]]. His relics are venerated at the Church of Our Lady of Peace, [[Rome]].<ref name="web1">{{cite web |title=Saint Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer |url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-Josemaria-Escriva-de-Balaguer |publisher=Britannica |accessdate=18 May 2025}}</ref><ref name="web2">{{cite web |title=A brief biography of St. Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer |url=https://stjosemaria.org |publisher=St. Josemaria Institute |accessdate=18 May 2025}}</ref> | '''Saint Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer''' (9 January 1902 – 26 June 1975) was a [[Saints|Roman Catholic saint]] and Spanish priest who founded [[Opus Dei]], an institution dedicated to promoting holiness in everyday life among laypeople and priests.
