There Be Dragons: Footprints in the Snow

Many people dread the snow but young Josemaria doesn’t. In fact, he walked in the snow barefoot.

Before he did that, he was so angry at God for taking away his three Sisters. But on one fateful night, he saw footprints in the snow. Those are no ordinary footprints. Those are footprints of a barefoot person. Puzzled, Josemaria followed the footprints. He found out that those footprints belong to a Franciscan Monk who delivers firewood to the poor people in the neighborhood. He was deeply moved. He felt that God is calling him. He removed his shoes and walked in the snow. For Josemaria, the coldness of the snow was the start of his conversion.

 What I have told you is an excerpt of the movie There be Dragons – a movie depicting the life of Josemaria Escriva.  Showing in Glorietta 4, Trinoma and SM Megamall extended until November 17, 2011. Save the date.

This movie is a story of love,  of forgiveness and of friendship. Be inspired by every scene.
