On June 26, the feast of St. Josemar\u00eda Escriv\u00e1, the Bishop of Getafe (Madrid), Joaqu\u00edn Mar\u00eda L\u00f3pez de And\u00fajar, presided at the blessing ceremony of the premises and the house that form part of the parish being built in honor of this saint, founder of Opus Dei, in the municipality of Alcorc\u00f3n, Spain.<\/p>\n
The complex is the work of architect Margarita Garc\u00eda Pinilla and has a budget of 1.1 million euros, to be paid for with donations from the faithful, voluntary contributions and subscriptions.<\/p>\n
The first stone was laid in 2010, and after five years, in which mass has been celebrated in different places of the municipality, finally the premises and the house where the pastor, the priest D. Jos\u00e9 Juan Lozano, will live are going to be inaugurated.<\/p>\n
In the assembly hall, which will serve as a temple from now on, the altarpiece and the figure of the Virgin Mary stand out.<\/strong>The work of the sculptor D. Juan Carlos Mart\u00ednez Moy<\/strong>belonging to the Granda Art Workshops<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The altarpiece <\/strong>is based on an idea of the parish priest, and is intended to be a universal call to holiness. It depicts St. Josemar\u00eda Escriv\u00e1 and Blessed \u00c1lvaro del Portillo, mingled with people going about their daily activities. Both surround the illuminated tabernacle. The landscape includes buildings typical of Alcorc\u00f3n: the castles and the parish church of Santa Mar\u00eda la Blanca, all of which were first sculpted in clay and then reproduced in resin. The last step is the polychrome.<\/p>\n The process of elaboration of the figure of the Virgin has been similar, although in this case the idea is original to Mart\u00ednez Moy. For her and the Child Jesus, he has used idealized real models, thus combining the idea of humanity and divinity.<\/p>\n The Virgin and Jesus smile, because the Child and his mother play hide-and-seek, 'cuckoo', as God plays and seems to hide sometimes in the life of his creatures ('latens Deitas', 'hidden God' as it says on many tabernacles).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" El Obispo de Getafe (Madrid), D.
