“Una Luz Encendida” (A Lighted Lamp), first biography of Dora del Hoyo, first Assistant Numerary of Opus Dei
I’ve just gotten hold of a copy of “Una Luz Encendida” and I’m enjoying it tremendously!
Part of Chapter III ‘The Calling’, says: ” The truth was that Dora was a treasure and gift from God for the Residence. Encarnita Ortega, who was one of the directors of the Administration, explained that “she had a heart of gold, and she worked divinely: she had perfect control of the flat iron and dry cleaning and sewing; she cleaned with extraordinary perfection; she served at table without the slightest failing; she knew the kitchen perfectly well. In addition, her manner was respectful, natural, and she knew how to teach the other girls with authority yet with a lot of refinement. It’s true that she had quite a strong character but she struggled to have it under control.” ”
I’ve decided to do a provisional translation of the Chapter on her CALLING TO OPUS DEI and put it here. Please click here.
