01-014 Immersed in God

This book is the record of Italian journalist Cavaieri's interview with Bishop Alvaro, the first successor of Saint Josemaría, founder of Opus Dei. Bishop Alvarro, who worked with Saint Josemaria day and night for forty years, is a uniquely powerful witness to the founder: to his holy life and his tireless and heroic devotion for the good of the Church and all living beings.

Rather concisely, this book covers the founder's life of self-denial in Spain and Rome, as well as his memorable friendships with popes, cardinals, bishops, and all manner of people.

Interviews with Bishop Alvaro del Portillo about his years living and working with St Josemaría Escrivá, the founder of Opus Dei. Included in this book are many incidents of Escrivá's life in Spain and in Rome, the obstacles he encountered in establishing Opus Dei around the world , his intense life of prayer and apostolate, and his friendships with persons in all walks of life.
