The Novenas of Mons. Juan Larrea to Saint Josemaría and Blessed Álvaro del Portillo: Roots and Projection
Abstract
The novenas to Saint Josemaría and Blessed Álvaro del Portillo are only a very small part of the inmense written production of Juan Larrea. However, they can be considered as a window that permits us to put out the mark and the influence that these saints exercised over Juan Larrea. To trace this influence the relationship between Juan Larrea and Saint Josemaría, and Blessed Álvaro del Portillo will be briefly described. Afterwards, the texts and motivations of these novenas will be analyzed, to conclude that the imprint of Josemaría and Álvaro del Portillo was alive and working in Juan Larrea when he wrote these texts at the end of his life on earth.
