At this point, the most expected thing would be for me to offer you a page on the start of the Palauan social work. However, this will not be the case. No. I will write down a simple analysis of its composition-summit: My Relations with the Church. Although on other occasions the...

In recent years, Francisco Palau has devoted his efforts to a delicate and even heroic activity: caring for those afflicted by evil. And how did he achieve this change of perspective in his apostolic service? The services he provided were fundamental....

 The Hermit was destined to fill a void in the contemporary history of society: the struggle between God and evil. Which will be pronounced in favour of the Church. Although evil hides and presents itself as a protective angel, The Hermit shows it for what it is...

The Hermit The religious situation of the Church, with the passing of time, instead of improving, worsened. Despite the efforts of so many apostles, who, like Palau, tried to stop the social de-Christianisation. He was strengthened by the following conviction: the...

Outline-grouping of writings My relationships. Centre of the work: proclamation of the mystery of the Church. In it, the lived, the doctrinal and the symbolic are continually interwoven. In the chronological sequence, we can distinguish the process followed in the relations with...

  As it was an intimate piece of writing, Palau's writing in Mis Relaciones was unrestrained. Above all, he used symbolic language. I have written it for myself alone and I write it at the times when I most need the Church. In its pages I have written my loving...

The Church of God as depicted by the E.S. in the sacred books. It is the last book written by Francis for the general public. It has an unmistakable stamp. His life and thought revolve around the mystery of the Church, the "leitmotif" of his existence and his...

The feast of Francisco Palau, a deeply ecclesial man, prompts his daughters - the Carmelite missionaries - to present him for what he really was: a life woven by synodality. He was very much aware of his call to serve the Church: his Beloved. But he feared that...

The ecclesiastical authority supported Fr Palau in the violent suppression of the Ecole de la Virtue. It was the court martial that condemned him. As in many other situations, instead of justice, force prevailed. In spite of everything, Francisco was...

Four sectors make up the fabric of the School of Vindicated Virtue: *The preaching of the gospel in the Catholic nations and its forms. *The School of Virtue: description. *Attacks of the press: reply. *Charges brought against it by the authorities....

Both the method, used in the exposition, and the subject matter, developed in The Catechism of the Virtues, respond to well-defined criteria. They were adapted to the training of the recipients. And to the needs of the time. Fifty-two were the...

Before the bishop's reply to that courageous interpellation, Palau had left France for good. However, the bishop of Montauban continued to consider him a troublemaker. As an undesirable person, of course. He wrote to the prelate of Barcelona, nothing more...

Although immersed in a solitary life, Palau never underestimated the apostolate. In fact, the people around him came close to him. They recognised him as an expert guide in the ways of the spirit. Almost nothing! His influence grew day by day. He became truly remarkable. ....

In his writings he shows a singular mastery of the Holy Scriptures. Scripture. At one point he copies whole chapters of the Bible. His preference for Old Testament figures is clear. For charismatic characters such as the prophets, too. And as for books, already....

Most of the letters and papers belong to the series - Of a confidential nature. Those dealing with family matters, legal formalities, and those related to persons and public offices. Likewise, all the unpublished pages. The solitary life and the apologies,...

Certain difficulties of interpretation stem from the wording of the document itself. This must be pointed out. Some deficiencies are due to his incomplete preparation. The abrupt interruption of his religious life produced a serious gap in his intellectual formation and...

Francisco's literary activity is well known to us. Eulogio Pacho published a bibliographical, critical and exhaustive monograph on this aspect of his work. His conclusions are supported by solid foundations. These writings reveal the strength...

The Carlist Wars were a series of civil wars that took place in Spain throughout the 19th century, producing numerous deep wounds and costing a great deal in human lives. The entire Spanish territory suffered such a painful situation of...

In order to interpret the events described on the previous page, it is essential to place them in the context of the vicissitudes of the pontificate of Bishop Puigllat, rich in tense relations with his clergy. Fr. Coll Mn. Escolá - creator and director of the academy...

The reality to be dealt with now has its origin in an unfortunate episode, motivated by an isolated sermon. It happened in Aitona. It was compelled by particular and painful circumstances. At the request of the municipal and ecclesiastical authorities - in 1865 - Palau improvised a... Palau improvised a...
