Don Ricardo Fernandez Vallespin met the founder on May 14th, 1933. a couple of weeks later, on this date, St. Josemaria gave him a copy of the book "The Passion" by with the inscription: "May you seek Christ, may you find Christ, may you love Christ". This was the first time they had a conversation, and don Ricardo would remember years after: "He spoke to me about things in relation to my soul, he gave me advice, he encouraged me to be better".
Don Ricardo is directly related to the custom of Opus Dei members to do Marian pilgrimages especially in May, he was involved in the setup of the DYA residence and in the beginnings of the apostolic work in Argentina and Uruguay.
