There Be Dragons

I love this movie and thanks to my dear friend Rosemary I was able to see it along with my dad "There Be Dragons" is a story about two men one a saint and one like you and me

Set during the turmoil of the Spanish Civil War. The story traces the lives of two young men, Josemaria Escriva and Manolo Torres.Josemaria becomes a priest and struggles to spread reconciliation by founding the movement Opus Dei (work of God). Manolo chooses war and becomes a spy for the fascists. He becomes obsessed with a beautiful Hungarian revolutionary, Ildiko, who has joined the militia in pursuit of passion and purpose. 

After watching this movie my dad and I were driving back when my dad mentioned that he liked the part were Manolo quoted: "My dad was able to give me material things when Josemaria's dad was able to give him a father."  I have not had the best relationship with my father  in the past few years and with other men not because of him but because of a past experience leaving me to be afraid of all male figures in my life I am happy to say that has changed with my dad and I treasure those late night talks with him forever. 

I Love you Daddy! 

Until Next time this is Mylea (Spiritual Daughter)

Saying God Bless,Be Joyful and Don't forget to Pray!

P.S.

At the end of that movie it said

Manolo Torres like the rest of us
