[edit] Summary

Photo of the Canonization of St. Josemaria, 6 October 2002.

According to Catholic officials, Opus Dei's founder practiced the radical demands of Christianity that he preached. John Paul II's Decree Christifeles omnes on Escriva's heroic virtues says: "Faithful to the charism he had received, he gave an example of heroism in the most ordinary situations." On 6 October 2002, John Paul II canonized Escriva, calling him "the Saint of Ordinary Life." During the canonisation, there were 42 cardinals and 470 bishops from around the world, general superiors of many orders and religious congregations, and representatives of various Catholic groups. The whole St. Peter's Square was filled and the crowd overflowed to the Via de Conciliazione and beyond.
