for a young man to

want to become a priest

like it or not most

young men were celibate

at least as a priest ,you got pay for it

the priesthood was an career option

but for Josemaria ,

it was an secret calling

sorry monsenior

I can't stand this type

a backstabbing careerist

so that defines it ?

what his father is rich so he thinks he can act

like a pain in the ass

that's not the somthing I had in the mind Escriva

yet ,isn't someone else his father ?

and yours ?

remember...

the withholding of forgiveness it the one thing

that our Lord made clear

that will not be forgiven

so...

do you thing that the two hotheads

a "hipcrita" and a "loser"

can be good priests ?

well I think it's possible

I really do

they're my dad's files from 50's

- there's more in the hotel

- he actcually sent this stuff to you ?!

- yeah

- you are making progress

what's the reason for the change ?

I don't know

I almost afraid to find out

"Foundation for the sick"

God ,such a different world

Josemaria wrote to me once a year until he died

I never wrote back ,but he kept writing anyway

in his letters ,he told me the terms that his

life was taking

Honrio!

Josemaria!

oh ,look at you

give me your hand

how's my old employer ?

papa died four years ago

Honrio.

I said my first mass for him

do you remember...

...about the chocolate bean ?

but ,I couldn't disorder my father

Honoring O Parinsis is the sweetest priest of the Novario

and very dear to God but Jesus Christ...

and then they accepted it

my worry is that this calling maybe delution all

and this work is to include wemon ?

yes your exellency

they will live separately but all work will

include them

and will also be open to married people

living in the same institutin ?

it's not a institution or a movement

it's just a fmily of individuals

and no ,

married couples will live at home

it's all seems father...

...protestant.

that God is to be found

in a daily life

outside holy orders

no walls

no hobbys

well Jesuse've been most of his life working

in a shop

in Nazareth.

God's world is so full of...

God's world is so full of goodness

if we do them for love

each daily task can gave him glory

small but regular acts of love between

husbands and wives

between friends ,

between strangers...

each revealing the beauty of his creation

and you want to open a new residence in Valencia ?

yes

and one day in New York ,Paris ,London...

- and .and Tokyo

- it's a long way to Tokyo

and...no money at to speak of?

- well I can provided it

- no I didn't come to ask for that

I ask only for your permission

for me and for the work

and you shall have them

father Escriva

I offer you a job as my secretary

in time this will lead you to a career

that might provide you ifluence that you would need

to realize...this dream of yours

so ,what do you say ?

- I said now thank you

but I always see there's a roof over

your heads and food on the table ,no ?

I know who you are Josemaria

you have been in my prays

thank you ,but I dont need your

Por mais sincera que seja.

- whatever struggles you are experiences you..

- stuggles ?

well ,whatever doubts you may having

doubts ,struggles

I blindly went into

(Saminari) because of my mother

I left because I wasn't priest material

as you know

well mabe not...

but doesn't mean your not saint material

you know ?

my recurring nightmare is that

I was partly to blame for your leaving

no Josemaria

unlike you I choose to

live in the real world

- but I appreciate your concern

- it's not concern TManolo

it's love

our Lord said love and love

was what he ment

and we love each other

no ?

Josemaria ,the truth is...

that we were born alone

and we die alone

all we have in between is a battle

that I want to win it

The rest the nonsense

well ,I will leave you

call me

I'll come I promise

you don't give up ,do you ?

it may help you to find some meaning
