Father Jose Miguel de la Virgen del Carmen was the carmelite whose footprints on the snow St. Josemaria saw when he was in his teenage years: young Josemaria was deeply impressed by seeing the marks of the carmelite's bare feet after that heavy snowfall in January. This meant a turning point in the founder's life. Soon afterwards, father Jose Miguel became st. Josemaria's spiritual director for a short period of time, until st. Josemaria realised his vocation was to be a diocesan priest rather than that of religious life suggested by father Jose Miguel. He went on to have spiritual direction with another priest, but remained in contact with father Jose Miguel.
