Dream and Your Dreams Will Fall Short

Dream and Your Dreams Will Fall Short by Pedro Casciaro. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780906138717.

Pedro Casciaro was one of the earliest members of Opus Dei, the Catholic organization founded by St. Josemaría Escrivá in 1928. Casciaro joined Opus Dei in 1935 at the age of 20. He lived beside the founder during the difficult years of the Spanish civil war and was ordained in 1946. He had become one of St. Josemarías most trusted aides in the worldwide development of Opus Dei. In this book Fr. Casciaro reveals for the first time his personal recollections of Opus Deis founder, which span a period of forty years.
