July 15th, 1950: The first vocation in the USA

On this date, the first American asked to join the Work: Father Dick Rieman. After writing his letter to the father, very happily he asked don Jose Luis Muzquiz: “Well, well, and how many of us are there, here in the United States?” And don Jose Luis answered: “you, another one, and me... that’s it”.

In this clip from Passionately Loving the World, Fr. Dick shares his story about meeting St. Josemaria Escriva in Rome for the first time.

Passionately Loving the World is a short documentary about ordinary Americans living the spirituality of St. Josemaria Escriva in the middle of the world today. From farmers to fire-fighters, they work hard, love their families, celebrate successes and endure failures. Through it all they try to grow closer to God.  (taken from
