Beloved by millions, 'The Way' is St. Josemaría’s spiritually rich collection of points for meditation and prayer. Genial but pointed, 'The Way' is born out of deep Christian experience and aims at encouraging people to love God and live for Him.

 

'길'의 힘과 매력은 실제로 살아있는 경험에 바탕을 두고 있으며, 1925년에 시작된, 사제로서 저술한 저자의 결과입니다. 이 책은 1934년에 영적인 고려사항이라는 제목으로 첫 번째로 출판 되었고 전 세계적으로 많은 사람들에게 이 책이 사랑을 받게되자 지금의 제목인 '길'로 제목을 바꿔 출판하기 시작했습니다. 세월이 흐르면서 '길'은 43개 언어로 4,500,000권 이상이 팔렸습니다.

이 책의 주된 매력 중 하나는 바로, 대화 형식이며, 개인적이며 인간적인 문체로 쓰였다는 것입니다. 1950년 3월 24일 오쎄르바또레 로마노의 검토 위원은 이렇게 평했습니다. "몬시뇰 에스크리바 데 발라게르는 걸작 이상의 작품을 썼습니다. 그분께서는 마음에서 나오는 그대로 책을 쓰셨고, 길을 구성하는 짧은 문장들은 곧장 우리들의 마음 속으로 들어옵니다."

 

PREFACE

 

"Read these counsels slowly. Pause to meditate their meaning. They are things that I whisper in your ear, as a friend, as a brother, as a father. We shall speak intimately; and God will be listening to us. I am going to tell you nothing new. I shall only stir your memory so that some thought may arise and strike you: and so your life will improve and you will set out along the way of prayer and of Love. And in the end you will become a soul of worth."

Commentary taken from "The Way: Critical-Historical edition" prepared by P. Rodriguez of the Josemaría Escrivá Historical Institute:

 

The book deals with 'counsels', 'considerations' leading to meditation which is paused over, which should take place within the ambience of fraternal and friendly confidence, or of a father to his son, but in dialogue with God. 'The Way' is a book to pray with.

 

The words added in Burgos speak to us, indirectly, about those whom the book is meant for, as the Author saw when he published it: men and women who have received the basic Catholic catechesis and have (or have had) some interior life. He states modestly, that he is not going to tell them "anything new": he sees the dialogue which begins as something "to stir your memories". The style is not discursive but "familiar and affective", experiential, contemplative, always open to welcoming God's action who "listens" and then intervenes and speaks.

 

The Author hopes that in the soul of the reader, moved by his memories, "some thought may come to you that will strike you." The aim of this book - of these "touches of the Paraclete on my soul" (point 130) - is to achieve in the reader a qualitative leap in his or her Christian life, as expressed in the Prologue: "that way you will improve your life and enter upon ways of prayer and of Love."
