English-language & translated titles are shown in bold. Square brackets [ ] are inserted before each item so that it can be ticked when read.

Cf. anthologies like: [ ] DERVILLE, G. (ed.) – Praying 15 Days with St. Josemaría [ ] O’DOGHERTY, J. (ed.), On Retreat with St. Josemaría Escrivá

Also Spanish critical-historical editions of Santo Rosario, Conversaciones and Es Cristo que pasa [ ] En Diálogo con el Señor: Textos de predicación oral now in an English version as [ ] In Dialogue with the Lord plus a volume of Textos varios. See also contents of [ ] J.L. Illanes (ed.), Diccionario de San Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer (certain people may be referred to specific articles; translation in process).

Plus other volumes in internal ‘Bonus Pastor’ series.

See, in centres only, 2 vols. translated from Obras: [ ] During the Spanish Civil War

1

[ ] During the Spanish Civil War: The Burgos Period.

Especially good are: [ ] [ ] two published vols. by José Luis González Gullón, listed below alphabetically and another follow-on volume (below, under his name) by [ ] Onésimo Díaz (with a vol. by him on 1941–46 in the pipeline).

As of now, people may be recommended to read the new [2019–] annual versions of Crónica with selected articles in English from monthly Spanish originals. Chosen items from the journals, Romana and Studia et Documenta, might also be read.

There is much available – some originally from Crónica and Obras (the latter no longer published as of 2019) – in translation on the UK website. It may help some to advise reading articles and e-books from there, either electronically or printed out on paper. Among these, the translated 5 articles on ‘New Mediterraneans’ are quite outstanding, referring as they do to the prayer-life of St. Josemaría. Generally, the only works not available in English that are listed below are those which are of special significance and potential usefulness, including works relating to St. Josemaría & Opus Dei, + on Psalm II, the Adoro Te devote, Athanasian Creed, etc.

A potentially useful ‘Progressive Initial Plan of Basic Spiritual Reading’ (covering a first six years), in numbered sections of ‘books of a kind’, one of which might be selected in each case in order to cover – up to a certain point – the same territory:
