Hello again. I bored the discussions about the true goals of the OD. Besides, I have nothing to say about it since I was a simple cash in on foot, and I do not like to speculate on what I know. I think this forum is more interesting when we have personal experiences: what we ourselves have experienced in the OD or exiting the organization (as ex-members).
And lately I have nothing to do in the forum, I happened to open a new topic: footnotes (noos things that went on the OD or that we witnessed)
I've opened so suddenly that I do not remember any right now, but hey, I leave this topic open if you want to put something.
Maybe this topic is amusing anecdotes if you tell good stories. Thanks  |

An anecdote: We were in a group living in Paraguay (imagine the heat) and the "hour of sport", a small group of Argentine supernumerary went to the pool for sunbathing. Then, in a class of tazrde, we were called, public attention, telling us that, besides being a waste of time being "like lizards" in the sun, take care positions, because it was unbecoming and incited them to lie on the sensuality the floor ... A clarification was not in the 13th century was in 2000.

I was 17 years and was on the phone with a friend who wants to take the center I frequented. It was 1.05 pm and I still do not appear in person at the table had lunch. The luncheon began to 1.00hs, not a minute more nor a minute less (obsessions of those who have at cuete ...)
Suddenly, I hear a few feet shouting that someone said to me that phone call Cut!. The person getting closer until I stand next to me kept shouting and veni Court and lunch. Short !!!".
And guess who did  Court. Obviously this friend never appeared in the middle. And yet I did not say I was the crazy screaming Director of the center. A neurotic in his fifties, he was a little crazy. Of those who had lived in Rome with the founder and thought that they were the delegates of the founder at the center. And do not think it was bad, but I was mad as a hatter....  |

| It happened in a college Mayr of the Work. As you know the communication between the management and administration is an internal intercom for which talks to fixed hours. When you pick up the phone whenever you say "Pax" and the other replies "In aeternum". Well, sono the intercom in the Administration and heard one of the employees and took down saying "Say," the director replied by reflex learned "In aeternum" and the employee went out into the hallway screaming! Miss, Miss, Master In aeternum call you! Obviously this anecdote not lived, I met someone who lived in that Administration, which of course are laughing Descojonado. |

Prior to the study center was already living in a center. It was seconded, but did family life. I remember I made the assault with another attached to the Administration. Volo said the peculiarities of communication, all the keys you know what ... and still do not know how we did it without anyone seeing us we slipped in your area and purple we set cookies.
In full binge door and heard noise in the shadows we saw the manager and another that would close the front door. We hid where podimos, I do not know how much we throw ... but we got caught. The fact is that we could not get out: the outer door closed, and access to dining, too. I remember it was a holiday and had Benediction of the Blessed, and hope at that time (until they were all in the Oratory) to jump the three feet of patio screen and appear in the room of the assistant.
We were late to the blessing, but no one was aware of our adventure. Do not remember having laughed so hard in my stay at the Opus.
Years later I told this anecdote to which I had the conversation and laughter gave him loose.
I hope that someday forgive me auxiliary state of destruction that was their area following the raid. Sometimes I imagine the conversation the next morning ... and give me back the laughter

Hello, friends. I know what I'll say maybe it deviates from the case. I almost regret. For once until Evaristo had temporarily left his polemical tone to make us laugh with his forays into Comanche territory ... But anyway, here goes.
During my many years post-Opus I always wondered why the stories in the works (especially those related to the Father) took on the role of class rather than what they were: mere anecdotes. The stay in the Work was a constant in that direction parable where everything is pulled tip. Sometimes a tip absurd and laughable that detracted from what was not without a little nice detail. In its eagerness to extract whatever doctrine, sometimes a little comment without further significance became a gathering in food for thought. I'm not at this time of night to remember many of those details, but one that we all need to know, it is striking how repeated a thousand times that the theme of the last gatherings of the founder with his daughters ( died moments later) in Rome was on the priestly soul. Many comments trying to draw conclusions unfounded nonsense and looking for meanings that as this was the last topic that was of particular relevance spoke ....! Another that I get now: the final miracle attributed to the newly raised to the altars was a doctor from Extremadura who suffered from a skin cancer of the arms and hands. Well, since it is already clear: the Father worked miracles to signify the importance of work that prints the spirit of Opus Dei (since the hands and arms to the doctor are the body parts used in their work). And such stories there are hundreds. I think so, instead of enriching, impoverishing the message to the pair that sounds a bit childish. What think you? And pardon me if I have cut this forum to have relaxed fun things. Manuel |
