Doña Dolores Albás, or ‘the Grandmother’, as she was affectionately called was the mother of St. Josemaría Escrivá and played a crucial role in his upbringing, providing a truly Christian home environment. Her son fondly remembered their family traditions of attending Mass, giving alms to the disabled, and praying together on Sundays. She instilled in him a deep prayer life that he continued throughout his life. The Grandmother, along with her daughter Carmen, also sacrificed greatly to support the founding of Opus Dei. Despite financial difficulties, they selflessly gave their time and resources to help with the apostolate. One of the Grandmother’s simple yet beloved traditions was making crespillos, a dessert that the whole family looked forward to on her feast day.
