May 7th, 1955: St. Josemaria arrives in Vienna for the first time

St Josemaria commented that “Vienna is the only capital city where I have seen a monument to the Most Holy Trinity”. Don Alvaro found it in one of his walks. On the base of one of its columns, st Josemaria read an inscription addressed to the Three Divine Persons, and decided to write the same phrase on the altarpiece of the father’s chapel in Villa Tevere, which is dedicated to the Most Holy Trinity: "In the Chapel where I celebrate the Mass regularly, there is a sign that says: Deo Patri Creatori, Deo Filio Redemptori, Deo Spiritui Sancto Sanctificatori. I saw it in Vienna, in a square, and I was there contemplating God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.” St Josemaria and don Alvaro returned to Rome on the 12th of May.
