Los primeros pasos del Opus Dei en México (1948-1949) / The Beginnings of Opus Dei in Mexico, 1948-1949

Abstract

Historical study about the beginnings of Opus Dei in Mexico, from May 1948 to May 1949. Pedro Casciaro, having lived side by side with St Josemaría for almost 15 years, first travelled to Mexico in 1948. A few months later, in January 1949, apostolic work was established in that country. With the help of many friends and cooperators, he set up the first centre of Opus Dei in America, in Mexico City. Work began among university students, the first Mexican edition of “The Way” appeared, and new apostolic horizons opened up in other cities.
