José Manuel Almuzara: Gaudí, from the Sagrada Familia to the Altars

“The beatification of Gaudí is not a whim, but the confirmation of an exemplary life of holiness forged through work.”

The promoter of the Cause for Beatification of Antoni Gaudí, José Manuel Almuzara, analyzes the figure of the architect in InfoCatólica. He highlights the spiritual dimension of his work and the progress of the Cause in Rome.

The article published in InfoCatólica focuses on the tireless work of the Pro Beatification Association of Antoni Gaudí. José Manuel Almuzara, president of the entity, is the protagonist of this analysis. The piece underscores the necessity of raising to the altars one who was both a master of architecture and a model of faith.

Almuzara emphasizes that Gaudí’s work, especially the Sagrada Familia, is a testament to his profound interior life and devotion. The architect understood art as a service to God and the Church, dedicating the last decades of his life to this mission. His austerity and charity are key features of his holiness.

“Gaudí is the model of how a layman can reach the summit of holiness through his professional vocation.”

The Cause for Beatification is in an advanced state, the ‘Positio’ regarding his heroic virtues having been presented before the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints. Almuzara points out that the process has been meticulous and that the documentation proves the virtuous life of the Servant of God. The hope of seeing him soon on the altars is great.

The InfoCatólica editor highlights Gaudí’s relevance as a lay and worker saint, a model for sanctification in professional work. Almuzara has dedicated years to disseminating this message, promoting congresses and publications that illuminate the architect’s spiritual figure.

“The Sagrada Familia is the stone testament of a man who transformed his art into a living catechesis.”

In conclusion, the article reiterates the importance of continuing to pray for Gaudí’s beatification. For almuzara.org, every press mention like this one in InfoCatólica is another step in the dissemination of the Cause. The Church will be enriched by the official recognition of the holiness of the ‘architect of God’.
