New Video Clips From Passionately Loving the World
You might enjoy seeing some of these new video clips just released.
To celebrate the founding of Opus Dei on October 2, 1928, and the 5th anniversary of the release of Passionately Loving the World, the St. Josemaria Institute is releasing never before seen (unedited) clips from Passionately Loving the World.
Fr. Dick Rieman, first member of Opus Dei in the United States, makes a brief appearance towards the end of the documentary. He talks about being at the canonization of St. Josemaria in Rome on October 6, 2002. After the canonization he told his students back home, “I am the only guy who has had pizza with a saint.”
In these exclusive clips, we share more of Fr. Dick’s story on meeting St. Josemaria Escriva in Rome for the first time; and, the meaning of holiness, of being a child of God, and being Christ to others.
Here’s one of the video clips you’ll find:
Fr. Dick Rieman is the first member of Opus Dei in the United States. In this clip from Passionately Loving the World, Fr. Dick explains how all Christians are called by God to holiness. Passionately Loving the World is a short documentary about ordinary Americans living the spirituality of St. Josemaria Escriva in the middle of the world today. From farmers to fire-fighters, they work hard, love their families, celebrate successes and endure failures. Through it all they try to grow closer to God. Order the DVD: www.stjosemaria.org
Thank you so much for sharing the clips on your blog! We were excited to get these clips out because they are a real treasure. Fr. Dick’s words are so moving and so simple (in the best sense of the word).
Please let me know if you and your readers enjoy this so that we (at the St. Josemaria Institute) can keep producing what is most helpful and inspirational. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome!
