October 2nd, 1936: "Threw away the key"

02/10/1936: st Josemaria has to change refuge during the war to avoid being found. He is offered the key to an apartment where only the maid was living, a young girl. He answered to Jose Maria Gonzalez Barredo (who had offered the key): "My son, don't you realize that I'm a priest and that, with the war everyone is with broken nerves? I can't -nor do I want- to be locked with a young woman day and night. I have a commitment with God, who is above all. I'd rather die than to offend God, to fail that commitment of love". He threw the key in the gutter.
